More information about Avontuur "Rum 21 years"
Our "AVONTUUR sailed Rum 21 years" was distilled from the best sugar cane juice in a traditional copper pot still on La Palma. The fresh Aguardente was then stored in oak barrels that had previously been filled with bourbon whiskey barrels. Together with the head of the distillery, José Quevedo, we selected our AVONTUUR specialty 21-year-old rum in January 2018 and filled it into four Amarone red wine barrels.
This AVONTUUR rum matured for 4 months over 10,000 nautical miles on board our cargo sailing ship on a mission to protect the environment at sea. The "AVONTUUR Voyage 3 RUM 21 Years" crossed the Atlantic twice from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean, via Honduras, Mexico, the Azores to northern Germany and is an ambassador for the clean transportation of goods using wind power.
The already strong, dark brown color, its aroma and taste were shaped by the cargo voyage.

Our story: During his more than 20 years of work experience in the shipping industry, Cornelius Bockermann was able to see for himself how we humans adversely affect our environment. With his company he carried out heavy transports for the oil industry. It was a lucrative business that earned him a lot of money, but it also made him aware of the impact that global transport shipping has on the oceans. More than 90 percent of global trade is handled by container ships, which are almost exclusively powered by heavy fuel oil. This fuel has long been banned on land and must be disposed of as hazardous waste. This makes the ocean giants quasi floating waste incinerators, for which there are only a few pollutant guidelines and which are subject to hardly any environmental obligations. It became clear to him that something had to change. He asked himself: How can companies and consumers be...
