Arhumatic Vinea Auri
Arhumatic Vinea Auri is rum and raisin reimagined: a 30% ABV (60 proof), 700mL French rhum arrangé built on a backbone of three rums — aged and unaged Jamaican rum plus rhum agricole from Guadeloupe — macerated with three raisin varieties (Corinth raisins from Greece, sultanas from Chile and South Africa) and a touch of cane sugar syrup. Crafted in France by Clémence and Thierry Ogez, who founded Arhumatic in 2014 after a decade in France's top produce markets. Always serve chilled. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Rhum Arrangé, the French Way
Rhum arrangé — rum "arranged" with fruit, herbs, and spice macerated right in the bottle — is a French-Caribbean tradition, and Arhumatic is its most artisanal ambassador. The Ogez couple left the Paris produce markets in 2014 to chase one idea: that perfect ripeness and obsessive sourcing make all the difference. Vinea Auri ("golden vine") takes the familiar rum-and-raisin pairing somewhere new — evocative, the brand says, of freshly baked pastries and hot drinks on a crisp evening. In island culture a bottle of arrangé is often shared in one sitting, like wine. Discover more Arhumatic and our rum collection.
Tasting Notes
Nose: slightly woody with beautiful fruity purity of raisin. Palate: velvety — spicy vanilla currants balanced by fruity, tangy golden raisins; richly decadent with a hint of mischief. Finish: warm rum notes and wood, the signature of the Jamaican and Guadeloupe base.
How to Enjoy
Always serve chilled — neat, over ice, or topped with sparkling wine or water. A bottle is a convivial after-dinner experience shared with friends; also a dynamic cocktail ingredient. Note: fruit may discolor if the bottle stays open for extended periods.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is rhum arrangé?
A French tradition of macerating fruit, herbs, or spices directly in rum — literally "arranged rum." Arhumatic steeps real fruit in quality rum rather than adding flavorings.
What does "Vinea Auri" mean?
"Golden vine" — a reference to the three raisin varieties at its heart.
Is it very sweet?
Richly decadent but balanced — a little cane sugar syrup rounds the three rums and raisins without turning it into a liqueur bomb.
