Among the most sensory expressions of the art of rhum arrangé, the Isautier, Volcanique Goyavier Ananas Piment, Rhum 30% stands as an ode to Réunionese generosity. Carried by memories of volcanic landscapes and the abundance of tropical orchards, it pairs the smoothness of a traditional molasses rum with the bright flesh of the Victoria pineapple and the tangy character of guava. A touch of chili, subtly integrated, sets the tasting alight with flair without ever overpowering. The whole, 100% natural, delivers an experience both indulgent and precise, crafted for those seeking a spirit with a defined personality yet a gentle caress on the palate. Serve as an aperitif to open conversation, in cocktails for creativity, or as a digestif to prolong the pleasure—this cuvée is an invitation to travel, an island breeze that lights up every moment. Volume 70 cl, 30% vol, contains milk, shake before serving.

Blend and maceration

This spirit is built on a molasses rum distilled on Réunion Island, chosen for its roundness and ability to carry the fruity material. The island’s emblematic fruits unfold here with precision, notably the ananas Victoria, whose aromatic richness offers a juicy backbone, and the goyavier, a small tangy fruit that brings vivid lift and a tasty tension. The piment, dosed with tact, frames the whole with a progressive warmth, like an awakening ember. Maceration is carried out with carefully selected ingredients to preserve the truest expression of each fruit. The balance of sugar, fruit and spice is designed for a welcoming, clear palate that becomes distinctly expressive—like an island tableau where every element plays its part with elegance.

Tasting notes

• Appearance: Clear and luminous, suggesting a generous body with good cling to the glass that reflects a silky texture.
• Nose: A sunny, fruity opening led by Victoria pineapple, enhanced by guava accents, exotic jam notes and fine spice touches. An airy gourmand impression punctuated by a warmer breath.
• Palate: Soft, pulpy attack; the fruit settles before the controlled heat of the chili builds in intensity. The balance is clear, with guava freshness answering the sweetness of the pineapple. Long, vibrant, deliciously persistent finish.

Serving temperature and advice

Serve well chilled in an appropriate glass to highlight the fruit’s purity and the spice’s progression. Gently shake the bottle before serving to harmonise texture and aromatic expression. Enjoy neat as an aperitif for a bright introduction, lengthened with a splash of coconut water or a premium tonic for a more refreshing register, or as a digestif for a warm conclusion. Store the bottle away from light and reseal carefully after opening to preserve the clarity of the aromas. This spirit does not require decanting; its charm reveals itself naturally at the moment of service.

Food pairings

• Aperitifs: vegetable samosas, mini caramelised skewers, delicate accras.
• Starters: swordfish ceviche with citrus, seabream tartare, exotic mango-avocado salad.
• Main courses: flambéed prawns, pineapple-glazed chicken, grilled fish with fresh herbs.
• Cheeses: mild pressed cheeses, fresh herb goat cheese, light-aged cheeses that leave room for the fruit.
