Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum, 0.7 liters 40% Rum from Mauritius Rum from Mauritius is a rarity. There are currently three active distilleries on the island state, which is only 2,040 km² in size. But this was not always the case. In 1878, 37 distilleries on Mauritius were still actively producing rum. This was due to the boom in the sugar industry in the late 19th century, which caused the number of rum distilleries to rise sharply. However, when the sugar beet industry boomed in Europe a few decades later, the number of sugar cane plantations and thus also rum producers declined. Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum The Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum is not wrongly considered one of the best rums on the island. The gold-colored premium rum is made from molasses, which is a typical by-product of the sugar industry. After the molasses has been diluted with water, yeast is added. By adding water, the molasses is reduced to a sugar content that the yeast can optimally process. For this reason, the yeast starts working shortly after being added and metabolizes the sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide. This is followed by distillation to increase the alcohol content of the mixture. This takes place in column stills. After distillation, the Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum matures in oak barrels, where it harmonizes its taste and absorbs fine aromas from the wood. It is then adjusted to an alcohol content of 40% vol. and bottled in the shapely and distinctive bottles. On the nose, the Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum shows fine notes of banana, sugar cane and rock candy. On the palate, nuances of oak, dried fruit, tobacco and papaya can be detected. The aftertaste is of medium length and remains in the memory. A beautiful rum that is suitable for many occasions. The Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum not only goes perfectly with a light cigar but also serves as the basis for numerous excellent drinks such as the Old Cuban.

Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum Solera 8 0.7L 40% Litchquor Distillery The Litchquor Distillery is a rum distillery on the beautiful island of Mauritius. The volcanic subsoil provides optimal conditions for growing sugar cane. For many years, long before the tourism boom, this was an important economic factor for the island. Once 90% of the island was used as cultivation area, today it is just under 40%. However, you can still find a variety of different types of sugar cane here. They all have their own character and so it is not surprising that Mauritius has become an increasingly popular rum region in recent years. Frederic Bestel is behind the wonderful rum brand 'Litchquor Distillery', which is responsible for the Gold of Mauritius rum. After his family also settled on the island, the Bestel family also devoted themselves to growing sugar cane and their second major business, lychee cultivation. As was common at the time, the first moonshine was produced here. Frederic's first recipe consisted of both ingredients that the family grew: sugar cane and lychees. He then used this origin as the basis for his later company name. Litchquor is made up of lychee and liquor. Dark Rum Solera 8 The Dark Rum Solera has a strong body.
