Winner of Bronze - International Wine & Spirit Competition 2016 A true encapsulation of the island itself, Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum truly is tropical, rich and vivid. This scintillating dark rum is made with a twist! Where traditional rums are matured in oak or cask barrels this edition is instead fortified in port wine barrels. Alongside this, unlike most rums where the maturing process lasts anywhere between 3-10 years, this rum is reserved for only 3 months! Although it is youthful in age, it still possesses the qualities that a mature rum would hold. With a legion of sweet notes including chocolate, vanilla and tropical fruits, it is then balanced with a subtle wash of spices to deliver a spirit that really does capture the essence of exotic island life. Perfect Serve: The makers at Gold of Mauritius recommend this to be best drank neat or on the rocks – to fully savour with every sip.
