Star & Key - VSOP Single Cask Mauritius Rum - 43% 70cl
Star & Key VSOP Single Cask Mauritius Rum 43% 70cl
Star & Key VSOP Single Cask is a limited single barrel release from Mauritius, showcasing the richness of full tropical maturation and the elegance of carefully selected oak casks. Bottled at 43% ABV and limited to just 480 bottles, this expression combines purity, structure, and authentic island character.
Distilled from pure sugar cane, this rum reflects the vibrant and expressive style of Mauritian production. It underwent complete tropical ageing, allowing intense interaction between wood and spirit under warm climate conditions. This results in deeper concentration, enhanced complexity, and natural colour development.
As a true single cask bottling, no blending took place — each bottle represents the unique personality of one individual barrel. The rum matured in ex-French oak and ex-Cognac casks, adding refined tannic structure, subtle dried fruit nuances, and elegant vinous depth. Presented without added sugar or colouring, it is a natural and transparent expression of Mauritian craftsmanship.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Natural deep gold to amber, derived solely from tropical oak ageing.
Nose: Elegant and expressive. Vanilla, caramelised sugar, dried apricot, soft grape notes from the Cognac cask influence, and refined French oak spice create a balanced and inviting aromatic profile.
Palate: Structured and rounded. Honey, toffee, ripe tropical fruit, gentle tannins, and a subtle vinous character unfold harmoniously. The 43% ABV ensures balance, clarity, and approachability without overwhelming the palate.
Finish: Medium to long. Warming yet slightly dry, with lingering oak spice, dried fruit tones, and elegant wood tannins.
