Elegant Aroma

Rio D’Ouro is a sugar can RUM with a truly unique flavor, featuring intense yet beautifully integrated aromas that remain elegant and gentle on the nose. On the palate, the spices bring softness, refinement, and finesse, all while maintaining remarkable balance.

Smooth Taste

The smoothness of its flavor comes from the exclusive use of sugarcane as the single ingredient, combined with a minimum aging period of one year, whether in oak barrels or infused with cinnamon bark or vanilla.

I visited the Rio D’Ouro distillery in São Tomé and Príncipe in 2022. I was very pleased to see the entire production process, explained in detail by the owner, Nelson. They use copper stills with natural fermentation and fresh sugarcane juice as the base. I highly recommend visiting the distillery when you are in São Tomé and Príncipe, and I look forward to tasting their aged cane spirit in Europe.

My journey to rediscover the forgotten territories of artisanal spirits led me to Rio d’Ouro. With remarkable craftsmanship, Rio d’Ouro has revived the historic sugarcane spirit of São Tomé and Príncipe — a pure cane juice aguardente made from the island’s rare local varieties, Carice and Xitra. Its unique pre-compression maturation process gives it a depth and aromatic intensity found nowhere else. A spirit with a singular identity and a lasting flavor. A true revelation for any spirit enthusiast.

There is no secret! Passion and dedication to doing things well always deliver great results. I had the opportunity to taste these cane spirits and to see their exemplary production process up close, right in the heart of the beautiful Roça Agostinho Neto. In São Tomé, there is nothing better. Period! Beautiful, carefully selected sugarcane, meticulous attention during fermentation, precision in distillation, and patience in aging… The Rio D’Ouro distillery masters every step, knows exactly what it wants, and does it exceptionally well. I highly recommend it!
