Produced at the Medine distillery which is located on the west coast of Mauritius and has been making rum since 1926. For the first bottling under the Rare Cask series, two casks were selected to be married together, one an ex-cognac cask distilled in 2009, the other an ex-sherry cask distilled in 2011. Only 213 bottles were produced. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at 59%. (Bottle size 750ml)

Nose: Predominantly fruity, with the prune and the cherry notes from the sherry cask. The freshness, wood spice and cigar flavours add extra depth and complexity. A faint floral note, tobacco smoke, citrus, fresh mint, muscovado, toffee and vanilla with a touch of eucalyptus.

Palate: The balance of sweetness, fruitiness, spices and wood is just perfect. The first full-bodied attack on the tongue is homogenously spread all around the mouth.

Finish: The flavours persist, even after a few seconds, a great cigar taste appears at the back of the throat. It’s an explosion of ripe fruit, sweets and patisserie at every visit.
