Takamaka Pti Lakaz Rum (70cl, 45.1%)

Takamaka Pti Lakaz is an agricole rum from the Seychelles, bottled at 45.1% in a 70cl bottle. It blends pot-still sugar cane juice rum matured in different casks, including port casks, with Seychelles molasses rum aged three years in former bourbon casks and eight-year-old molasses rum from Foursquare in Barbados. After blending it rests in stainless steel tanks and is reduced with Seychelles spring water, with coarse filtration only. It is bottled without added sugar or colouring and comes in gift packaging. On the nose, fruity and spicy aromas form a varied bouquet. The palate brings red fruits and dried apricots alongside bitter cocoa and star anise. The finish is dry and layered, with spice notes.
