Breiz'île Plougastel Strawberry & Madagascar Vanilla 50cl 32°
On the occasion of the Maritime Festival of Brest 2024, Breiz'île unveils a rum punch arranged with strawberry from Plougastel and vanilla from Madagascar exclusively for Le Comptoir Irlandais.
Introduced in the 18th century by marine engineer Amédée François Frézier, the strawberry of Plougastel is now one of the emblems of Breton gastronomy. Cultivated and harvested on the peninsula of Plougastel, where the fertile clay soil and the exceptionally mild climate allow this gariguette strawberry to develop all its aromas, it blossoms during maceration with agricultural rum from Guadeloupe.
The vanilla pod from Madagascar added, this punch reveals a beautiful smoothness and delicate fruit flavors enhanced by a tangy and fresh note.

Breiz’île is a craft range of spiced punches elaborated in Camaret, Brittany. Everything started in 1997, in the fishing harbour of Saint-François, Guadeloupe.
The “Brethren of the Coast” is then composed of three Bretons: Ronan, Olivier and Alain. They founded their restaurant and cooked delicious fish meals celebrating spices and rum. Three years later, they opened a second restaurant in Camaret-sur-Mer, thus forging a connection between Brittany and the Caribbean.
“In Guadeloupe, we used to serve our spiced punches as digestives. Customers really liked it and ask if they could buy some”, Ronan says. “This is what drove us to create Breiz’île”. And the first bottle of spiced punch was released in 2002. It met immediate success and has since been renewed every year. Generous and inclusive, Breiz’île is packed with flavours and destined to the joyful gatherings…
Everything is handmade in the Camaret-sur-Mer restaurant. Fruits are chopped and macerated with syrup, spices and white rum from the Caribbean. After two months macerating, we discover a smooth punch with a subtle fruit taste and a delicious vanilla flavour.
