His grandfather, a strict disciplinarian, taught Alexandre how to graft a tree, milk a cow and harvest grapes. \"For my grandfather, the only wealth is the one from the land,\" says Alexandre, fondly. After studying at the Macalester College in Minnesota and earning a degree in Lyon, Gabriel began working at Maison Ferrand, one of the oldest cognac houses in France.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe Barbados rum is distilled from sugar cane, which is harvested and then crushed immediately in order to minimize the deterioration of the raw sugar. After the cane has been crushed, the remaining juice is fermented and then distilled through a combination of pot and column stills. While the column still produces a lighter, more sweet rum, the pot still produces a heavier and more vicious spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nBrought to fruition by Alexandre Gabriel, Xaymaca evokes the name given to the island by its first inhabitants, the Arawaks. This rum is a 100% Jamaican Pot Still Rum crafted in the quintessential Jamaican-style. The 19th century style pot still rums posses an expression of intense flavors that reveal the traditional, signature aromas and flavors of black banana and flambéed pineapple, locally called \"Hogo,\" an Anglicization of the French term  \"Haut Goût\" (high taste).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPick up your bottle today!                                        \u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Rum\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRum history allegedly started in the Carribiens in the 17th century when they started to ferment and distill molasses, a byproduct of sugar production.
