History and production of the Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum Solera 5:

Mauritius is certainly not a typical rum country. In terms of output, it cannot compete with countries such as Cuba, Jamaica or the Dominican Republic. But in terms of taste, Mauritian rum has nothing to hide. Quite the opposite. In recent years, it has been hard to escape international awards. There are numerous reasons for this. Firstly, the climate on the small island in the Indian Ocean is ideal for growing sugar cane and maturing rum. Secondly, the use of molasses and freshly pressed sugar cane juice creates an incredibly impressive variety of flavors.

One brand in particular has stood out: Gold of Mauritius. The Mauritian company Litchquor Ltd. has numerous rums in its portfolio. The top quality is marketed under the term Gold of Mauritius. Awarded the gold medal at the 2015 World Spirits Awards, Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum Solera 5 is the island's absolute flagship product.

Local sugar cane molasses forms the basis for the production of Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum Solera 5. The Solera system known from Spain is used for maturation. The barrels are stacked in a pyramid shape. The fresh distillate is only filled into the top barrel. After a year of storage, the slightly matured contents are distributed between the two barrels below and replaced with new distillate. After another year, the contents of the second row are distributed to the third, and so on. This is repeated until the rum in the bottom row has achieved the desired taste profile.

Over the years, the Solera process creates a complex mixture of distillates of different ages that harmoniously combines the distillery character of the young rums with the barrel aromas of the older rums. The Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum Solera 5 is, as the name suggests, a rum from the fifth row, meaning it contains qualities of up to five years, which is a long time in a hot, tropical climate. In addition, it was finished for six to eight months in port wine barrels, which increases its elegance and fullness to infinity.

Tasting of the Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum Solera 5:

The Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum Solera 5 has a deep dark color reminiscent of fine mahogany wood. The nose is immediately captivated by the intense bouquet bursting with power. The combination of pleasant sweetness and refreshing fruitiness is particularly noteworthy. In addition to aromas of vanilla, caramel, honey wafers and roasted nuts, hints of tropical fruits, candied oranges and apricots emerge.

On the tongue, the Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum Solera 5 is wonderfully soft and wonderfully oily. It lies on the tongue like a syrup and leaves notes of molasses, vanilla ice cream, milk chocolate, baked bananas and roasted almonds. This is followed by hints of spicy oak, leather and Christmas spices that linger long into the finish.

The Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum Solera 5 is a fascinatingly mild yet flavorful rum that combines sweetness, fruitiness and spice in a unique way.

Takamaka Dark Spiced 0,7L 38%
Takamaka Dark Spiced 0.7L 38% The history of Takamaka Rum It is generally assumed that good rum comes mainly from the Caribbean or some South American countries. Far too often it is overlooked that rum is produced in almost every country where sugar cane grows. This includes, for example, India, the Canary Islands (Spain) and Africa. One of the most notable rums from Africa is Takamaka Rum. Takamaka Rum is produced in the Seychelles, which are topographically part of Africa, and has earned a very good reputation worldwide. Takamaka Rum is distilled in "The Trois Freres Distillery" founded in 2002 by the brothers Bernard and Richard d'Offay. When developing Takamaka Rum, the brothers worked closely with the islanders in order to optimally match their taste and create the most authentic rum possible. The managing director of the Club Kofferfabrik in Fürth also recognized that Takamaka Rum was particularly successful during a visit to the Seychelles. He brought a few bottles of Takamaka Rum back to Germany as a souvenir. Since Takamaka Rum was very popular among his circle of friends, he began importing it. The history of Takamaka Bay Spiced The rum for Takamaka Rum Dark Spiced is distilled from sugar cane. This is grown on the Seychelles island of Mahé, which is known for its granite-rich soil. Similar to wine, the granite in the soil gives the sugar cane its own "terroir" flavor, which is why rums made from Mahé sugar cane are valued by connoisseurs around the world. After the harvest, the fully ripe sugar cane is pressed and the resulting sugar cane juice is fermented for just under a week. The first distillation of the fermented sugar cane juice takes place in an alembic or pot still. The Takamaka Bay Rum is then produced in a second and third distillation in copper column stills. After distillation, the Takamaka Bay Rum is stored in oak barrels. After the maturation time that the rum needs to harmonize, it is mixed with caramel, lots of vanilla and other local spices in a stainless steel tank. The rum absorbs the aromas from the spices and the result is the Takamaka Rum Dark Spiced! The taste of Takamaka Dark Spiced The caramel-brown Takamaka Dark Spiced initially shows very dominant vanilla aromas on the nose. However, if you leave the nose in the glass for longer, the Takamaka Dark Spiced also reveals a very pleasant spiciness that is initially hidden. On the palate, the Takamaka Dark Spiced is then pleasantly sweet without being too sticky. Very pleasant! The aftertaste of the Takamaka Dark Spiced is also characterized by vanilla, which can still be detected for several minutes after the last sip. The Takamaka Dark Spiced is ideal for use in cocktails and long drinks, but is also a delight when drunk neat!

Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum, 0,7 Liter 40%
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.

Lazy Dodo Rum 0,7L 40%
Lazy Dodo Rum 0.7L 40% Lazy Dodo? A rum with the name Lazy Dodo sounds unusual for a rum at first. However, when you consider the origin of the Lazy Dodo Rum, it becomes clear why the connection is not so far-fetched. The Lazy Dodo Rum comes from the island of Mauritius. The island state in the southwest of the Indian Ocean is considered one of the best places in the world for growing sugar cane because of its humid and warm climate, as well as its topography and very fertile soil. The rums produced locally are of a correspondingly high quality and are popular and sought after by rum lovers around the world. The island's heraldic animal is the legendary dodo bird, which has been considered extinct since the end of the 17th century. The dodo was a flightless bird, around one meter tall, that fed mainly on fermented fruit, nested on the ground and was considered to be slow and comfortable. Since the dodo had no natural enemies, it was considered to be very trusting and had no escape or defense behavior. This made it easy prey for humans and introduced, feral pets. Even if it sounds a bit harsh, the dodo is considered a "prime example" of a species eradicated by humans and this rum wants to make a small contribution to remembering this. The Lazy Dodo Rum The Lazy Dodo Rum is produced on one of the most fascinating plantations in Mauritius. The property includes a botanical garden with gigantic dimensions of 37 hectares as well as seemingly endless sugar cane fields, which is why this plantation is considered one of the most important on the island. The molasses obtained from the sugar cane grown on site is naturally fermented and carefully distilled by a master distiller. The individual rums for the Lazy Dodo Rum are then aged for up to 12 years in various types of barrels. In addition to French oak barrels, new barrels made of American oak, former bourbon whiskey barrels and some barrels that previously contained sugar syrup are used. This gives the Lazy Dodo Rum a very special taste. The amber-colored rum impresses on the nose and palate with fresh and exotic notes. On the palate, in addition to a good structure, it shows additional nuances of caramel, vanilla and oak. The Lazy Dodo is suitable for drinking neat (on ice) as well as in cocktails.

Turquoise Bay Amber Rum, 0,7L 40%
Turquoise Bay Amber Rum 0.7L 40% The origin: Mauritius is one of the countries in the rum world that has been attracting attention for some time with its extravagant and tasty spirits. This is mainly due to the numerous sources of flavor that the island has to offer and the pleasant climatic conditions that prevail there. The latter is of great importance, for example, for the production of sugar cane, the basic ingredient of every rum. In addition, this is a rum that is distilled from molasses in its country of origin, Mauritius, and then bottled in France. The principles: The "Turquoise Bay Amber Rum" is a delicious blend in which only distillates selected by the blender himself were used. The word "amber" stands for amber and this is precisely the color that the rum represents in full, which is how it got its name. The sugar cane grown on the island provided the molasses needed for the rum. The yeast added initiates the fermentation process and is then distilled. The rum was then able to store for some time in fine oak barrels and develop its full aromas. The rather dark-looking "Turquoise Bay Amber Rum" was produced without any added artificial coloring, which is something the company also attaches great importance to. The rum is available in a bottle with a turquoise label that immediately reminds us of the turquoise blue water, the wide beaches and the numerous bays. The rum in the glass: If you evaluate the numerous aromas and the taste in general, the "Turquoise Bay Amber Rum" seduces with its fruity and sweet side, which comes in a perfect balance. The "Turquoise Bay Amber Rum" is very aromatic, but at the same time elegant and pleasant. This is also due to the storage, which has made the rum pleasantly smooth and gives it soft characteristics. Several golden-colored rums have harmonized with each other and conjured up a perfectly balanced blend. The imaginative rum has a moderate alcohol content of 40%. This means that it can easily be enjoyed neat or on ice. But it is almost better for mixing cocktails and long drinks.

Mauritius Rom Club White Rum 0,7L 40%
Mauritius Rom Club White Rum 0.7L 40% Mauritius Rom by Litchquor LTD With the new brand Mauritius Rom Club, four new products have been introduced to the market, which are intended to reflect the variety and abundance of flavors. Behind this new brand is the Frenchman Frédéric Bestel and his company Litchquor Ltd. Litchquor is made up of two words 'lychee' and 'liquor'. This is probably based on Bestel's college days, because even then he is said to have received a lot of recognition for his lychee liqueur. With his takeover, Frederic Bestel is continuing the traditions of the 200-year-old family business. He has been successful with his own brand in Mauritius since 2012. Sugar cane is the most widely grown product on the island and so it goes without saying that this also serves as the basis for the Mauritius Rom Club White. In terms of taste, he has based his series on the 'Spice Route', which has served as a source of a wide variety of flavors for many years. Rom Club White Rum The white rum in this series was matured in stainless steel barrels after distillation to give the flavors enough time to develop their full aromas. This storage also gives the white rum its pleasant lightness. It is light but flavorful. Very pleasant on the nose, with subtle notes of vanilla, tropical coconut and spicy ginger. Generally a very balanced rum, which is also reflected in the aftertaste

Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum Solera 8 0,7L 40%
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. On the nose there are initially aromas of roasted nuts, dark chocolate and vanilla. The complex taste then develops further on the palate.
