Labourdonnais Lady Blue (70cl, 40%)

A spirit drink from Mauritius, made from sugar cane juice rather than molasses and produced by Distillerie de Labourdonnais. After distillation it matured for six to twelve months in former bourbon casks of American white oak before being flavoured with natural ingredients and bottled at 40% vol. It opens with a sweet impression of vanilla and a spicy undertone reminiscent of gingerbread and wood, with occasional notes of popcorn and mint. It is less fruity than many comparable drinks and can be enjoyed neat or mixed.
