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.

Only a small number of distilleries remain active on the island, which covers approximately 2,040 square kilometres. This was very different in the past: in 1878, as many as 37 distilleries were producing rum in Mauritius. The expansion of the sugar industry in the late 19th century had led to a rapid increase in rum production. However, as the European beet sugar industry grew in the following decades, sugarcane plantations in Mauritius declined, followed by the number of rum producers. Molasses-Based Production and Oak Cask Maturation The starting point for Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum is molasses, the syrupy by-product left over from sugar production. It is diluted with water and yeast is added to begin fermentation. During this process, the yeast converts the sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The fermented liquid is then distilled in column stills. After distillation, the rum matures in oak casks, where its flavours become more harmonious and it takes on delicate notes from the wood. Finally, it is brought to 40% ABV and bottled. Golden Colour and Exotic Aromas Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum displays a warm golden colour in the glass.
