Estimated shipping date: 25 May 2026
This exceptional Maurice VSOP is a decadent journey into the heart of Mauritius. Far more than a traditional aged rum, it is a striking fusion of tropical intensity, meticulous maturation, and a world-class finish. Distilled from molasses at the prestigious Gray’s Distillery, this release is the rum that, as they say, "pushes the limit just a bit too far!"
Created with an uncompromising focus on texture and gourmandise, this VSOP transforms a classic Mauritian spirit into a rich, liquid dessert. It is a bold statement of craftsmanship, perfect for those who seek a rum that is as thick and generous as a chocolate fondant.
A Masterclass in Refinement
Every bottle of Maurice VSOP embodies the art of patient aging and innovative finishing. The character of this rum was forged through a precise technical process:
-
Initial Aging: 51 months in new American oak casks, providing a sturdy backbone of spice and structure.
-
Double Finish: A sophisticated 2-month finish in ex-Cognac and ex-Orange Liqueur casks from the renowned Maison Prunier.
-
Artisanal Reduction: A slow, "drop-by-drop" reduction from 64% down to 50% ABV, preserving every ounce of its oily texture and aromatic density.
Tasting Experience
Inside the bottle lies a profile so rich and velvety that it feels like Christmas in a glass.
-
Nose: For the chocolate lovers! You are immediately immersed in a bath of dark chocolate and generous cocoa powder—thick, greasy, and flowing. It evokes the scent of a buttery chocolate fondant fresh from the oven. Then, a "diva" makes her entrance: juicy, pulpy orange. This is followed by layers of gingerbread, cinnamon, and a comforting touch of empyreumatic notes.
-
Palate: Pure indulgence. The term "fondant" was no exaggeration; the rum literally melts on the palate with generous chocolate and a near-sorbet-like orange freshness. The density and "fat" are remarkable, offering notes of orangettes, oven-warm gingerbread, and a creamy tiramisu.
-
Finish: Long, warm, and incredibly gourmand. The texture clings to the palate, inviting you back for another sip just for the sheer pleasure of it.
