Penny Blue - Vsop 70cl Bottle
Classed as exceptional by drinks critic Simon Difford, this rum exudes character and is made on a single estate, where the they grow their sugar cane and distil the molasses before maturing in three different types of oak, that of Cognac, Bourbon and Whisky. With a colour of deep amber, the nose reveals notes of marmalade, melon skins and cloves, whilst on the palate is a soft, luxurious taste of glazed fruits, cedar wood and tropical spices. The rum is named after the first stamp produced for Mauritius, the Penny Blue, of which only 500 of the one penny were made and today sell for over $1,000,000!
