Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum Solera 5

Herkunft: Mauritius

Alcohol content: 40%

Mauritius, the small island in the Indian Ocean, is known for its dream beaches. But what many people don't know is that some of the highest quality rums in the world are made here. Occupied by the French in the 18th century, they soon introduced sugar cane as the climate was perfect for growing this crop. Gradually, the resulting molasses began to be fermented and sent through a distillation plant - this is how the first rums on the island were created. Today the company Litchquor Ltd. in the Grays Distillery produces a premium rum made from molasses and freshly squeezed juice, the Gold of Mauritius. It is a blend of three different rums aged for one, four and five years in the Solera system. This rum then also matures in port wine casks for six to eight months, which gives it a particularly aromatic character. Sweet and fruity on the nose. Spicy on the palate, with lots of chocolate, coffee, caramel and vanilla. Departure long and aromatic.

Banqero Copper Swiss Premium Rum

Herkunft: Schweiz

Alcohol content: 40%

Schweizer Rum ist kein Ding der Unmöglichkeit. Man würde es zwar meinen, da hierzulande kein Zuckerrohr wächst, doch das kann man ja schliesslich importieren. So macht es auch das 2019 gegründete Unternehmen Banqero, welches organisches Zuckerrohr aus Kuba bezieht. Die Destillation des Ausgangsrohstoffs findet in einem Kupfer-Brennhafen aus dem Jahr 1887 statt. Yann aus dem Wallis und Arnaud aus Genf lernten sich im Sommer 2003 bei der Armee kennen und schlossen eine innige Freundschaft. Diese wurde unter anderem durch die gemeinsame Leidenschaft für karibischen Melasse-Rum befeuert. Doch erst beim gemeinsamen Kaffee im Jahr 2019 kam ihnen die Erleuchtung: Wieso nicht einfach einen Schweizer Rum aus karibischen Rohstoffen produzieren? Das Projekt nahm schnell konkrete Formen an. Nur wenige Wochen später ging man eine Partnerschaft mit einem erfahrenen Brenner ein. Schon im März trafen 1,5 Tonnen Bio-Melasse in der Schweiz ein und am 6. Juni floss der erste Tropfen Schweizer Rums aus der Brennanlage. Der vierfach destillierte Banqero Copper Rum erinnert geschmacklich an Röstkaffee, Karamell und Vanille.
