An extremely interesting rum from Turquoise Bay, who have sourced their spirit from Mauritius.

Mauritius is unusual amongst rum producing nations, as it produces both traditional molasses rum, and Rhum Agricole (a grassier style produced with the fermented juice of the pressed sugar cane). There are six distilleries on the island in total.

This bottling takes full advantage of the versatility of Mauritius’s industry, having largely been produced using molasses rum, but also featuring a small amount of Agricole, adding high notes and freshness. The rum has been finished in former Cognac barrels, adding fruity sweetness and depth.

This bottling offers up notes of bright brown sugar, dark heady molasses, peaches, cinnamon, liquorice, grapes, oak, grassy cane sweetness, pineapple, mango, overripe bananas and honeyed yoghurt.

A sweet and complex rum with a fascinating profile, this is certainly one that rum lovers will want to try.
