The Pearl of Mauritius Rum (70cl, 42%)

The Pearl of Mauritius is a blend of Mauritian rums combined with local ingredients such as vanilla, tropical fruits and roasted nuts. It is an aromatised spirit with fruity, nutty and spicy impressions, including notes of dried banana. The rum base is distilled on Mauritius under local master distillers. The bottling contains no colouring, has an alcohol content of 42% and comes in a 0.7 litre bottle. It can be enjoyed neat or used in cocktails such as a Mai Tai or Daiquiri. On the nose, tropical fruit aromas meet vanilla and exotic spices. The palate is round and full, with banana and fresh sugarcane alongside cinnamon and nutmeg, plus a light fruit sweetness. The finish is smooth, with warm sweetness and a fine spice nuance.
