More information about Avontuur "Mission's Best"
This rum is pure Caribbean. Distilled in the old tradition from pure sugar cane juice, this rum agricole was aged for 7 years in bourbon barrels on the Caribbean island of Marie-Galant. "Mission's Best" rum was selected by Captain Cornelius together with Jérôme Thiery of the award-winning traditional distillery and filled into two white wine barrels from Bordeaux to start the journey on board our cargo ship across the Atlantic. On the white beach, under the hot Caribbean sun, the AVONTUUR crew built a raft from bamboo and empty oak barrels and transported the barrels to the AVONTUUR, which lay in the roadstead off Saint Louis.
7,300 nautical miles across the Atlantic on board the AVONTUUR shaped this first-class rum agricole. Its unique taste made it not only an ambassador for environmental protection at sea, but also the favorite rum of our captain and initiator Cornelius Bockermann.

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...
