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!

Takamaka Pineapple Liqueur, 0,7L 25%

Takamaka Pineapple Liqueur, 0.7L 25% Those responsible Behind the products from Takamaka is the Trois Freres Distillery, which is located on the main island of the Seychelles, Mahe. If you want to know exactly, a good 20km below the airport on Mahe. The still relatively small and young distillery is privately owned by the D'Offay family, but is already known for its high-quality rum. Liqueur range In addition to the already well-known Coconut Rum from Takamaka, the liqueur range has now been expanded to include another member. What other representative besides coconut could provide a Caribbean flair? Exactly, pineapple! The newest member is the Pinapple Liqueur, or as the locals say 'Takamaka Zanana'. The distillery states that white rum that has been aged for 12 months forms the basis here. This is refined with fresh pineapple juice and then not only brought to drinking strength with sugar water, but also transformed into a liqueur.

Takamaka Bay Rum White Overproof 69 0,7L 69%

Takamaka Bay Rum White Overproof, 0,7 L, 69%

Takamaka Bay Rum White Overproof, 0.7 L, 69% History and production of Takamaka White Overproof 69 Rum: Takamaka, the name already sounds like vacation. Inevitably, a picture of turquoise sea, palm trees and sandy beaches appears in the mind's eye. And indeed: Takamaka is a rum made in the Seychelles from freshly pressed sugar cane juice, which combines the culture and flair of the island state. The numerous islands of the Seychelles are located in the Indian Ocean, about 800 km east of the African mainland. Due to the great distance from continental landmasses, a unique flora and fauna has developed over the millennia, which also differs from island to island and ensures a great deal of diversity. The climate is warm and humid, the volcanic origin with its fertile soil offers ideal conditions for growing sugar cane. In 2001, the two local d'Offay brothers decided to use the sugar cane from their own plantations to make rum, and Takamaka was born. Since then, numerous creations based on fresh sugar cane juice have appeared. All Takamaka products therefore delight with a very typical note that can best be described as a combination of fruitiness, sweetness and a slight grassiness. The Takamaka portfolio shines with a fruity, fresh white rum, a full-bodied brown rum, a spiced rum and a pineapple and coconut rum - all available here in our shop. The latest product is the Takamaka White Overproof 69 Rum. This is the undiluted version of the popular Takamaka White Rum, which with its 69% ABV makes quite a racket on the tongue and is particularly predestined for targeted use in cocktails. Like the other Takamaka products, the Takamaka White Overproof 69 Rum comes in a completely revised design. The bright turquoise shines like the Indian Ocean that surrounds the Seychelles, but leaves enough room for an unobstructed view of the crystal-clear contents. Tasting the Takamaka White Overproof 69 Rum: The Takamaka White Overproof 69 Rum forms long streaks in the glass and appears extremely oily. The bouquet is characterized by a phenomenal abundance of aromas. In addition to tropical fruits such as bananas, pineapples and mangos, there are also pears, apples, sugar cane and raspberries. Surrounded by earth and grass tones, a fine spiciness and roasted peanuts emerge in the background. On the nose, the Takamaka White Overproof 69 Rum is the archetype of a Rhum Agricoles, i.e. a rum made from fresh sugar cane juice, with a complexity that cannot be found in any other white rum. With its strong 69% alcohol by volume, the Takamaka White Overproof 69 Rum represents the true face of the Seychelles on the tongue: straightforward, unvarnished, natural and with a pinch of Creole flair. When enjoyed neat, however, you should consider diluting it with a few drops of water. Otherwise, the taste buds will be faced with an almost impossible task. With its rough, direct character, the Takamaka White Overproof 69 Rum takes every rum cocktail to a higher level and provides the necessary kick of sugar cane and tropical fruits. The Takamaka White Overproof 69 Rum also cuts a fabulous figure in the Ti Punch. However, you should be careful to use it sparingly, otherwise the sheer power of the distillate will be difficult to tame.

Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum Solera 5 0,7L 40%

Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum Solera 5 0.7L 40% 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 Rum Blanc 0,7L 38%

Takamaka Rum Blanc (White) 0.7L 38% The history of Takamaka Rum Good rum comes from Jamaica, Guyana or Cuba. That is the general tenor. However, it is often forgotten that excellent quality rum is also produced in countries such as India, the Canary Islands and Mexico. Even Africa produces noteworthy rum. One of these is Takamaka Bay Rum White, which is produced in the Seychelles. The distillery "The Trois Freres Distillery", which produces Takamaka Rum White, was founded in 2002 by the brothers Bernard and Richard d'Offay. At the time, the brothers had the vision of being able to offer the people of the Seychelles a high-quality regional rum. From the very beginning, it was very important to the founders that the taste of the islanders was really met. For this reason, she developed the Takamaka Bay Rum White together with them and all suggestions and criticism from consumers were taken into account during the production process. The production of Takamaka Rum Blanc The sugar cane for the production of Takamaka Rum White is carefully selected and comes from the Seychelles island of Mahé. Because of its unique soil with granite stone, the "terroir" of this sugar cane can be tasted particularly well. After the sugar cane has been pressed, the juice obtained is fermented for four to five days. Takamaka Rum White therefore falls into the category of "Rhum Agricole" and is not made from molasses like many industrial rums. After fermentation, the basic product for Takamaka Rum White is distilled in a pot or alembic still. This is followed by a second and third distillation in copper column stills, which give Takamaka Rum White its individual character. This is followed by maturation in stainless steel tanks. The taste of Takamaka Rum White The Takamaka Rum White is a classic mixed rum that is suitable for use in a variety of cocktails and long drinks. The bouquet of the Takamaka Rum White is very clear and fresh and clearly shows the aromas of fresh sugar cane. The Takamaka Rum White is also very refreshing on the palate and shows light fruit nuances such as pineapple and mango. The aftertaste is medium-length and shows the full power of the Takamaka Rum White. Overall, the Takamaka Rum White is a very nice rum that can of course also be enjoyed neat, but only finds its true greatness in Daiquiri, Long Island Iced Tea, Cuba Libre, Pina Colada or Mojito! In conclusion, it must be said that the d'Offay brothers have done a great job with the

Particular emphasis is also placed on triple distillation, which produces a much softer, more flavorful rum. Lightly Spiced The 'Lightly Spiced' version of the Two Drifters Rum promises, as the name might suggest, a lightly spiced rum. In addition to vanilla, spices such as cloves, star anise and cardamom as well as pepper provide a light chai tea flavor.

In figures, rum production rose from around 80 bottles per week to over 2,000 bottles per week. The special thing about the rum from the Two Drifters distillery: When producing the base alcohol, the molasses is mixed with a certain amount of dunder from the previous run. This is an old Jamaican tradition in rum production and gives the rum a special character. Pure White Rum The 'Pure White Rum' from the Two Drifters distillery is full of seductive fruit aromas. Crisp apple and lime are clearly recognizable, accompanied by other tropical fruits. Floral nuances and a certain spiciness of white pepper are also noticeable.

Takamaka PTI Lakaz St Andre Series 0,7L 45,1%

Takamaka PTI Lakaz St Andre Series 0.7L 45.1% Takamaka Rum Takamaka Rum describes itself as 'the spirit of the Seychelles'. The aim of its products is to reflect the diversity of the 100 islands and to make each bottle a special drinking pleasure. If you look at the origins of the distillery, it is hard to believe that the rums are now among the most popular in the world. It all began in 2000 when Bernard and his father Robert got hold of a book about distilling at home. The family has always been interested in this hobby and in the production of the island speciality 'Rum Arrangé'. With the desire to produce their own rum, father and son obtained conventional 'components' for distillation, so that they used, for example, the swimming pool as a 'cooling tower' for the condenser and started their own production with yeast and refined sugar. It took a while until they were reasonably satisfied with the results and in 2002 they opened the Trois Frères Distillery, shortly afterwards they were able to deliver the first official rum. Pti Lakaz The PTI Lakaz is one of a total of four products in the distillery's St. André series. The Pti Lakaz is also a blend in this series. Four different kettle rums were used for it, including two from port wine barrels and an 8-year-old molasses rum (Bajan Foursquare). The influence of the port wine barrels ensures a rum that is rich in fruit aromas. In addition, there are finely balanced spice notes such as star anise and a slightly bitter cocoa bean aroma.

Takamaka Zepis Kreol St Andre Series 0,7L 43%

Takamaka Zepis Kreol St Andre Series 0.7L 43% St. André – Zepis Kreol The Zepis Kreol was distilled in both pot stills and column stills. Before distillation, the molasses rum is mixed with regional spices, which are first macerated in the alcohol. In order to select the perfect blend of herbs and spices, Blender Steve traveled for countless hours to surrounding locations such as Mahe, Praslin and La Digue to select the perfect spice combination. Contrary to what you might think, this was a very lengthy process, because not only did the taste itself and the harmony between the individual spices have to be right, but you also had to think about the future and ensure that supplies were secured. Since Zepis Kreol is also a blend, it is then married with an 8-year-old Bajan Foursquare rum and then matured again for 60 days in ex-bourbon barrels. The taste profile is clearly characterized by oak. There are also other fine spice notes of nutmeg, cinnamon or cloves. Serving suggestion: Try the Takamaka St. André Zepis Kreol in combination with a chilled ginger beer!

Takamaka Rum Zenn 0.7L 40% Takamaka - We are the Seychelles Under this motto, the Trois Frères Distillery produces Takamaka Rum, which is representative of the diverse aromas of the 100 or so small islands of the Seychelles. Behind distilleries, be it from the Caribbean, Madagascar or Jamaica, there is often a centuries-old history that is shaped by pirates, mutinies and was usually created to celebrate the wild life or a special person. It is completely different with Takamaka rum: The history of the Trois Frères Distillery actually only begins around the year 2000! Inspired by their grandfather and an old tradition of making rum, the d'Offray brothers founded the rum brand Takamaka. This is intended to capture the 'spirit' of the islands and represent their diversity. Rum Zenn Rum Zenn is part of the 'Seychells Series' and an unaged rum. It is a so-called 'pressed rum' to which wood chips from American oak are added after distillation. These remain soaked in the rum for a certain period of time, which can be between a few hours and a few days, and then filtered out again. It is rich in fruity, fresh sugar cane notes and piquant fruits. There are also spice notes such as cinnamon and slightly spicy pepper notes. Rum Zenn is rounded off with sweet honey notes and the aroma of vanilla.
