TAKAMAKA - Overproof Rum - White Rum - 69%
Takamaka is an iconic distillery located in La Plaine Saint-André, on the east coast of Mahé in the Seychelles. Founded in 1792 by the Jorre de Saint Jorre family, La Plaine Saint-André was originally a vast plantation estate surrounded by lush exotic gardens. Spanning over 24 hectares at its peak, this historic estate played a major role in the agricultural economy of the Seychelles in the early 20th century, cultivating precious spices such as cinnamon, vanilla, coconut, and patchouli for export to Europe. Over the centuries, La Plaine Saint-André has served various functions, becoming successively a coconut mill, national monument, shipyard, royal car garage, eco-museum, restaurant, and art gallery. After suffering a fire followed by reconstruction, the site experienced periods of neglect due to lack of funding. However, in 2008, after a relentless four-year campaign, the Distillerie Trois Frères obtained a 50-year lease and devoted two additional years to a meticulous and passionate restoration of the estate.
This exceptional white rum is made from molasses carefully distilled in a column still, reaching a purity of 94°. It is then delicately diluted with crystalline spring water from the islands to achieve a powerful alcohol content of 69° at bottling. This overproof rum stands out for its intense character and freshness, ideal to be traditionally enjoyed with a twist of lime and sugar syrup, or as a refined base to create explosive and flavorful tropical punches. Perfect for lovers of strong rums seeking authenticity and superior quality, Takamaka offers a unique sensory experience at the heart of the flavors of the Seychelles.
