The Pink Pigeon Mauritian Vanilla Spiced Rum is a well-balanced spirit that boasts a smooth flavor profile and an attractive bottle design. Delivered in a 700ml bottle with an alcohol content of 40% ABV, this rum hails from the Medine Estate in Mauritius. This Mauritian rum is a blend of premium vanilla and is named after the rare Pink Pigeon, a native bird of Mauritius that has made a remarkable recovery from the brink of extinction.
Produced at the Medine Estate, the Pink Pigeon Rum Distillery and Sugar Factory are located in close proximity to each other, allowing the sugar factory to supply the distillery with sugar-rich molasses. The rum features Bourbon vanilla that comes exclusively from the neighboring islands of Madagascar and Reunion, while the oranges and orchids are sourced from Mauritius.
The Pink Pigeon rum boasts a light and floral character with a subtle minerality. The nose opens with a light rum that has vanilla and soft vegetal notes, while the cane sugar in syrup enhances the entire profile. With time, the sugar syrup maintains a soft appearance, reminiscent of the softness of a marshmallow with a surface powdered with icing sugar. The aroma remains light, with strawberry and vanilla notes gently wafting from the bottom of the glass.
On the palate, the initial impact is fuller than the nose suggests. A first wave of vanilla and sugar syrup invades and coats the palate, before the taste buds briefly tighten up on coffee and sweet spices. The fruity, slightly marshmallowy aromas then blossom in this very "candy" framework.
Overall, the Pink Pigeon Mauritian Vanilla Spiced Rum is a delightful spirit that offers a unique and enjoyable tasting experience.
No, you can smell and taste the real vanilla bean in this rum, which suggests that the vanilla flavoring is natural.
This rum works well in cocktails. Adding a little water can help calm the vanilla flavor and open up other citrus and spicy notes.
The rum has an alcohol content of 40% ABV (Alcohol by Volume).
The rum is produced at the Medine Estate in Mauritius.
The rum features Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar and Reunion, as well as oranges and orchids sourced from Mauritius.
Reviewers have noted that this is a vanilla-heavy sweet rum with a real vanilla bean aroma and taste. Initially, the vanilla may seem overwhelming, but adding a little water can calm it down and bring out other citrus and spicy flavors. It is especially noted for its versatility in cocktails, although some experimentation might be needed to balance the vanilla. Additionally, it pairs nicely with coconut water.
