History
The History of Rum from Mauritius
Rum production in Mauritius dates back to the 19th century. At that time, there were about forty distilleries in operation. Today there are less than ten. Sugar cane was introduced by the Dutch who cultivated it for the production of arak. Since than, the technology of rum production was inherited by the Mauritian people from generation to generation.
Our story
The beginnings of Blue Mauritius rum
The history of production dates back to 2012, when the Blue Mauritius Gold was first created. Blue Mauritius is made from the finest sugar cane distilate rum, distilled on island Mauritius. The production starts with the preparing of sugar cane molasses, that is matured for about 36 hours. The distillation takes place under the supervision of experienced master distillers, who ensure that the resulting alcohol is as smooth as possible. After the distillation, pure alcohol is reduced to 60% and blended before it is put into tanks.
production process: Quality in every step
The process takes minimum one year so the aromas and colour is stabilized. You may find small deposits over time, this is the result of natural ingredients used during the blending process. After about a year of ageing, the product is filtered using traditional cold plate filtration method that keeps all the flavours and aromas intact.
Luxury packaging: Details that will impress
After about a year of aging, the precious liquid is poured into heavy French glass and closed with a wooden stopper and transparent seal. The leather necklace added after the bottling process serves to absorb the drops of each serving, keeping the bottle clean and prolonging the delicious aroma. To complete the process, swift hands take care of the finished bottles. Special care is taken in every step.
Red Mauritius: New chapter begins
Based on the success of the Blue Mauritius twin, we decided to create a new unique rum, also made from the most finest Mauritian sugar cane distillate. Red Mauritius combines elegance of its predecessor and subtle tones of cherry wood, which makes it something different, but still exceptional and delicious.
