Medine Estate Blue Reserva

Medine Estate Blue Reserva, sold under the Blue Mauritius label, is a Mauritian rum made from molasses at the Medine Estate, placing it in the traditional rum camp rather than agricole despite sitting among cane-juice rums here. It carries no age statement.

The profile leans soft and sweet, with caramel, vanilla, dried fruit and a woody backbone, the palate echoing the same caramel-and-vanilla sweetness with light fruit. It reads as an easy, gently sweet sipper built for accessibility rather than intensity. Whether any sugar has been added is not declared, so the sweetness is best taken at face value as part of the style: this is a smooth, rounded after-dinner rum rather than a dry, structured one. At 40% it suits relaxed neat drinking or a simple mixed serve for those who like their rum on the softer side.
