NAVI rum, the art of blending inspired by the great Caribbean maritime routes
NAVI rum
A modern blended rum built around four Caribbean terroirs: Barbados, Jamaica, Martinique and Guadeloupe. Three cuvees named after constellations, Cassiopee, Andromede and Icare, designed for pleasure, to enjoy neat or in a cocktail. A Paris brand inspired by the maritime heritage of blending.
When sailors invented blending without knowing it. NAVI revives a gesture born at sea on the Caribbean routes, bringing to it precision and a contemporary vision. Four islands, three cuvees, a celestial world: a balanced, accessible and expressive rum, to discover direct.
A rum born at sea
In the 17th century, on the maritime routes linking the Caribbean to Europe, space in the ships' holds was precious. Sailors, faced with partly filled casks, would decant rums from one into another to make the most of the load. These improvised blends, tossed by the waves and matured over months of sailing, gave birth to rums that were more complex, deeper and more alive. On returning to port, the crews discovered a transformed spirit, rich with a new identity. NAVI draws directly on this forgotten maritime heritage, bringing to it precision, control and a contemporary vision.
Blend as of old, with today's means
Understand the origin to better appreciate the glass: less folklore, more taste; less fixed talk, more passing-on. NAVI tells rum differently, between sky, sea and far-off lands.

A tribute to navigation and the stars
The name NAVI refers to navigators, but also to the constellations that guided sailors across the Atlantic. Before modern instruments, the stars were the only reliable markers to cross the ocean. The bottle design draws on this celestial world: constellations, pared-back lines, symbols of travel and discovery. Each cuvee carries a star's name, like an invitation to escape, between sky, sea and far-off lands. The brand, based in Paris, was created by people standing between producers and consumers, with a simple idea: less folklore, more taste.
Three blends for three tasting experiences
NAVI comes in three cuvees, each named after a constellation. Cassiopee is the entry blend, fine and gourmand, born of aged rums from Barbados, Jamaica and Martinique. Andromede takes that base and adds an old Guadeloupe rum, for more structure and complexity. Icare, finally, is a cuvee apart, aged in a cask from a vanished Trinidad and Tobago distillery, released in a limited, numbered edition. Three blends, three experiences, from the refined cocktail to neat tasting.
Cassiopée
Barbados, Jamaica, Martinique - aged rums
The way into the NAVI world: delicate and balanced, it blends aged rums from Barbados, Jamaica and Martinique. A cuvee full of finesse, gourmand and accessible, ideal to discover the brand or to lift a refined cocktail. A racy, fruity profile; medal at the Tahiti Rum competition.
Andromède
Cassiopée + an old Guadeloupe rum
More ambitious and deeper, Andromede takes the Cassiopee base and adds an old rum from Guadeloupe. The proportions shift to offer more structure, roundness and complexity, without losing any elegance. An intense, subtle profile, silver medal at the Rhum de France Award (RFA).
Icare
Cask from a lost Trinidad and Tobago distillery - limited edition
The cuvee apart: Icare enjoys a specific ageing in a cask from a legendary Trinidad and Tobago distillery now vanished. After a rest in stainless-steel vats then a refining in bottle, it reveals a silky, complex and deeply harmonious profile. A limited, numbered edition (260 bottles).
Four Caribbean terroirs
Barbados, Jamaica, Martinique, Guadeloupe
NAVI is built around four emblematic Caribbean islands. Each brings its signature: the roundness and fruit of Barbados, the aromatic power of Jamaica, the freshness of Martinique agricole rum, the depth of old Guadeloupe rums. A balance designed to stay accessible and expressive.
A maritime heritage reinvented
Blending born at sea, in the 17th century
In the 17th century, on the routes linking the Caribbean to Europe, sailors decanted rums from one cask to another to make the most of precious holds. Tossed by the waves and matured over months, these improvised mixes became more complex and more alive. NAVI draws on this forgotten heritage, with precision and a contemporary vision.
NAVI, the brand
A Paris house, between producers and enthusiasts
Created by people standing between producers and consumers, NAVI claims a different approach: less folklore, more taste; less fixed talk, more passing-on. The name pays tribute to the navigators and the constellations that guided sailors; the bottles' celestial, pared-back world is an invitation to travel.
