As for lingerie with Victoria’s secret<\/a>, the world of spirits also has these little secrets of Punchinelle \u2026 Its lot of things not to say but that everyone knows, subtle mixture of transparency <\/strong>and \u00ab\u00a0disloyalty<\/strong>\u00ab\u00a0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonight, I speak about one of the largest distilleries in the world, I named the well known \u00ab\u00a0Secret Distillery<\/strong>\u00ab\u00a0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few things manage to filter on this obscure distillery, at most we know that it is implanted in a large number of countries. That this one would have been created between the end of the 17th century and 2008 by a certain Jean S\u00e8rien<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, the news are lights, but with our national Jean-No\u00ebl Roudoudou, we conducted the investigation and found traces of Alain Cognito<\/strong>, cellar master of the Cuban subsidiary of Secret Distillery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As he explains to us, this distillery would have as much, even more, stills than DDL<\/strong>. We are talking about very different stills with each their specificities and their own identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, he even explained to us that Secret Distillery distills both rum high esters, agricole, grand ar\u00f4me, molasses as peated whisky and not peated for example, what talents! All often matured with finishes of all kinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yes, we can find big Speyside, Jamaican, Cuban, Sherry finishes, Madeira etc \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

So, stop jocking, this small text being just there to put a light side to this note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But behind all that, there is a reality that becomes more and more awkward in these hours when everyone asks transparency<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, under the (logical) pretext of intellectual property, trademark, logo etc, some distilleries don’t hesitate to prohibit the use of their name<\/strong> by independent bottlers. In fact, this one feels too often cheated and put on front of products of which they have more the hand since the sale of the juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So seen like that, actually I can understand that Worthy Park<\/strong>, for example, doesn’t want to be associated with a bottling of a rum finished in a cask \u00ab\u00a0Bolognese sauce<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb for exemple \u2026 Something that would never happen in these warehouses and which I strongly doubts the interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the only way for them is to prohibit the use of their name<\/strong> and logo \u2026 Obviously, no other choice \u2026. Real ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course there is another choice, that of no longer sell its rums to European brockers<\/strong> \u2026 but that’s not to good huh ! it’s easy money and they really don’t want to deprive themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, because of all this, we find ourselves more and more with independent bottlers who offer us \u00ab\u00a0Jamaica Rum-Secret Distillery<\/strong>\u00ab\u00a0, \u00ab\u00a0Cuba Rum-Secret Distillery<\/strong>\u00ab\u00a0, \u00ab\u00a0Vale of Lluidas’ Rum<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb etc \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, more worries, we can always sell the rum and if the bottler does shit with, we don’t care because we are not associated with that. So, I say it’s bingo<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Except maybe consumers <\/strong>in fact \u2026 but yes there, remember, the guys who buys the bottle with their money !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because yes, the lambda guy who is behind the bottle in a shop, well he does not know what he drinks \u2026 ? Secret Distillery, the kings of blind tasting<\/em><\/strong> <\/em>\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it would still be much easier to just specify the place where the rum comes from and when he left \u2026 and zou, we fall direct on a common ground, the mega compromise as Belgians does<\/strong> in a few ways!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
