Creation of the Isautier distillery
Louis and Charles established the Isautier family business, which bears the same name to this day. It is the oldest rum distillery on Reunion Island and the oldest business on the island today. Six successive generations have passed on their knowledge, creating an epic story which spans nearly two hundred years. To the east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean in the Mascarene Archipelago, Reunion is famous for its dramatic volcanic landscape which results in highly fertile soil. Sugar cane has been grown extremely well here for centuries, thriving in the sandy humus-rich soil and tended to by over 3,000 planters in its humid, maritime climate. Now in their sixth generation, this family run distillery is one of the great iconic producers in all of rum and finally available here, albeit in limited quantities.
