A Mauritian rum from Litchquor under the Gold of Mauritius name, distilled from molasses rather than cane juice, this Velvet Edition sits in the Heritage Selection and pours soft and approachable at 43%.
Description
Gold of Mauritius is produced by Litchquor on the Indian Ocean island, and despite the agricole company it keeps it is a molasses rum rather than a cane juice spirit, so it leans toward the rounder, sweeter side of the category. The Velvet Edition belongs to the Heritage Selection and is bottled at an easy 43%.
No age statement is given. Mauritian molasses rums of this style typically show vanilla, caramel and gentle baking spice from oak ageing, finished to a smooth and accessible weight rather than a high-proof or austere one. A straightforward after-dinner pour for those who prefer their rum soft and unchallenging.
