Guadeloupe:
An Island shaped by Sugarcane

Guadeloupe is a French overseas region located in the Caribbean.


Home to around 380,000 people. The Archipelago is made up of several Islands, with the main butterfly-shaped landmass formed by Grande-Terre and Basse-Terre. 

For centuries, Guadeloupe’s landscape, culture and economy have been shaped by sugarcane. Its volcanic soil, tropical climate and agricultural heritage have made it one of the historic centres of Rhum Agricole production. A spirit distilled directly from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses. 

At Selection 971, Guadeloupe is more than a place of origin; it is the foundation of our identity, craftsmanship and sense of provenance.
