Bermuda

Bermuda, a cluster of over 300 coral islets in the Atlantic Ocean, is a British Overseas Territory known for its unique geographical features. Mostly flat, the islands do not have any significant reliefs over 100 meters. The lack of streams or large basins is notable. Despite these geographical limitations, Bermuda is famous for the production of a distinct type of rum, Gosling. This rich, robust rum, reminiscent of a fine cognac or an exquisite scotch, has been a hallmark of this territory for about two centuries. The Gosling family has maintained the secret of this precious rum, whose intense flavor has been enhanced by aging it in dark barrels for 16 to 20 years. The production is limited, with each bottle hand-labeled and sealed with a wax stamp.
While Bermuda lacks in vineyard cultivation, the focus is more on the production of this globally renowned rum, a symbol of the island's adaptability and innovation in beverage production.

Climate and soil Bermuda's subtropical climate, with pleasant temperatures year-round, contributes to the island's unique agricultural profile. Summer temperatures peak at 30°C, while winter months rarely see temperatures drop below 20°C. Rain is a common occurrence in all seasons, sometimes resulting in heavy rainfall. The soil of the island is predominantly calcareous, the result of numerous marine organisms during periods of submersion. The archipelago is essentially the highest points of the caldera of an underwater volcano, part of a series that form the mid-Atlantic ridge. Periods of glaciation have also played a role in shaping the island's topography. Although not conducive to traditional vineyard cultivation, these conditions have nurtured the growth of local ingredients used in the production of Bermuda's iconic Gosling rum.
