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.
