Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum represents a time-honored molasses rum crafted through column distillation and then aged in South African barrels, specifically within the Cape region, previously used for Port. The rum is then bottled without filtration.
This Mauritian rum can be enjoyed either neat or in a variety of cocktails.
Upon nosing this exceptional rum, the initial impression is incredibly sweet, with hints of yellow fruit and cherry. The flavor profile is characterized by an abundant fruitiness coupled with remarkable sweetness, reminiscent of delightful banana or strawberry tagada candies. Following this jubilant phase, the rum reveals a drier, more refined facet: the woodiness presents as both dry and youthfully spirited, complemented by subtle undertones of cocoa, vanilla, and notably, notes of peanuts and almonds. This juxtaposition of dryness interchanges with an indulgent, nostalgic character, at times evoking memories of syrup or even chewing gum.
Upon aeration, bananas and a spectrum of fruits unfurl, while the nuts follow suit, before these two worlds eventually interweave and entwine. The resulting fusion introduces the acidity of cherry and raspberry, along with powdery, velvety nuts that are poised to converge and harmonize.
On the palate, the rum exhibits a light and exceptionally fluid nature, unlikely to perturb even the most delicate of palates. One might discern an infusion of flowers such as hibiscus and red fruits, or a melange of strawberries and coconut milk. Parallel to the olfactory experience, a mildly drier tendency introduces elements of pepper and woodiness, though the inherent richness easily triumphs.
The finish is remarkably buoyant, leaving a savory blend of spicy flavors and a gentle tingle on the palate.
This rum is not for everyone, it has a smokey flavour which not everyone enjoys but you should definitely try it out for a different type of experience.
