A very interesting rum indeed, from the Indian ocean island of Reunion. This rum comes Rivière du Mât distillery, first founded in 1886. Rivière du Mât is one of only distilleries in the world with the capability to distill both Agricole and traditional rums.

This rum has been bottled by the Maison du Rhum, an excellent French-based bottling enterprise which forms part of the larger Dugas Spirits company. La Maison du Rhum are known for producing some terrific rums from around the world, picking only the finest spirits to put their name to.

This bottling is no exception. Distilled in 2011 by column still and bottled in 2017, this rum is packed with tropical flavours. Drinkers should expect notes of aromatic spice, vanilla, pressed flowers, roasted pineapple, cream, mocha, mango, orange peel, cumin, almond, fudge and walnuts.

Bottled at 45% ABV for plenty of flavour and body, this rum contains no artificial colouration.

La Maison du Rhum pride themselves on excellent presentation, as shown by this packaging, which contains four vintage-style coasters and a case designed to recall the shipping crates of an age gone by.
