Non Plus Ultra-Nothing after this

In September 1493, Columbus sets sail on his second voyage of discovery to find the sea route to India. The new and unknown awaits ahead. Behind him lies the Mediterranean Sea and the Strait of Gibraltar, which marked the end of the old world. According to a legend, the pillars of Hercules were placed at the departure point with the inscription "Non Plus Ultra"; (Nothing After This) – a phrase that has given its name to our Non Plus Ultra blends. As is well known, Columbus did not find the sea route to India. In return, he discovered the West Indian islands, where the Spanish planted sugar cane and laid the foundation for the production of sugar and West Indian rum.
