The Penny Blue XO Mauritian Rum Batch #5 is a premium rum with an ABV of 43.1% and a volume of 700ml. This extraordinary rum, hailing from the renowned Medine Distillery in Mauritius, represents the fifth batch in the esteemed Penny Blue XO series. Known for its unique flavor profile and limited availability, only 10,290 bottles of this exquisite spirit were produced. This distinguished rum is aged in former whisky, cognac, and bourbon casks, endowing it with a distinctive and complex flavor. The nose reveals a slight buttery quality, with less fruitiness compared to previous batches, developing a more typical American oak profile with notes of vanilla and tender wood. Upon aeration, the aroma is enhanced, releasing fruitier notes of apricots and other dried fruits, followed by chocolatey undertones that can be sweet and lactose-like or powdery and bitter. On the palate, the Penny Blue XO Rum is smooth and well-balanced, offering a woody flavor that cascades across the tongue like a rolling wave of vanilla. This is complemented by a hint of toasted wood and a medley of spices. The finish is characterized by hints of burnt orange, passionfruit, and spices, accompanied by tannins. Named after the famous Mauritian stamp from 1847, the Penny Blue XO Rum pays homage to a piece of history. The stamp, introduced by Governor Sir William Gomm, was printed with an error, making it highly sought after by collectors. The Medine Distillery, operational since 1926 and the oldest distillery in Mauritius, continues this tradition of excellence. The rum is produced and bottled on-site in limited quantities, maintaining its authentic and artisanal nature.
