Mc Explorer - Sherry XO Mauritius Rum - With Box 49.5% 70cl
Mc Explorer Sherry XO Mauritius Rum 49.5% With Box 40% 70cl
Mc Explorer Sherry XO is a rich and elegant Mauritius rum, crafted from distillates of two different island distilleries. Produced from both pure sugar cane juice and molasses, this expression beautifully combines freshness and depth in one harmonious profile.
This Extra Old (XO) rum matured between 8 and 14 years in Oloroso sherry casks before being carefully married and further refined. The influence of sherry wood adds complexity, warmth, and refined sweetness, while the dual raw material base ensures balance and character.
Bottled at 49.5% ABV, this is a full-flavoured yet approachable rum, offering richness without heaviness and structure without aggression.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Deep amber with warm golden reflections.
Nose: Fresh sugar cane notes lead the way, followed by Banoffee pie and rich fruitcake aromas. A combination of freshness and pastry-like sweetness creates an inviting and layered bouquet.
Palate: Round and flavourful. Ripe banana, creamy toffee, Demerara sugar, and walnuts unfold with depth and balance. The marriage of cane juice vibrancy and molasses richness delivers a complex yet harmonious mouthfeel.
Finish: Medium to long, with gentle sweetness, warming ginger, and subtle herbal notes that add elegance and lift.
Despite its generous sherry influence, the rum remains balanced and refined, showcasing both Mauritian freshness and oak-driven maturity.
