The Penny Blue XO Mauritian Rum Batch #7 is a unique rum from the island of Mauritius, known for its rare and distinctive fruit-spiced flavor profile. This exceptional spirit is the result of a collaboration between the distillery's cellar master, Jean-Francois Koeni, and Doug McIvor of the Scottish bottler, Berry Bros & Rudd. The rum is not chill-filtered and has been aged in three types of casks: whisky, cognac, and sherry.
This rum opens with a balanced profile, featuring notes of caramelized nuts, sweet spices, and orange peel, with the American oak barrel contributing a strong roasting flavor and vanilla notes. The palate is smooth and fluid, with an initial soft oak flavor infused with blond tobacco, toasted coconut, and sweet spices. The rum continues to unfold its rich, melted notes of milk chocolate, nougatine, and soft caramel.
With aeration, the rum reveals a pleasing smoky richness, while the vanilla becomes more intense and black, enriching the oak fibers. Compared to other expressions, this batch has a slightly fruitier aroma, with less oak and sweet spice. The palate is similar, sweet but perhaps a little thicker, and the finish a little more vanilla.
This rum is a true testament to the unique and exceptional quality of Mauritian rum, with its fruity and spicy flavor profile and smooth, rich palate. With a production limited to just 6,000 bottles, Penny Blue XO Mauritian Rum Batch #7 is a collector’s item and a delight for connoisseurs.
