About this deal

And he’s done them proud with a range of recipes that really get under the feathers of the rum’s characteristics – we’re particularly taken with the Pigeon Aperitivo, Pink Lady and the Flip and Flight. Meanwhile, if you’re wondering about that rare bird, it’s the pink pigeon from which the rum takes its name and with which it shares its home in Mauritius. And in a nice gesture the Pink Pigeon people are also donating to the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation to help safeguard their Mauritian muse. Pigeon Aperitivo Passé la bouteille au design superbe, le nez m a surpris (pas forcement en mal même si certains de mes amis m ont dit qu il sentait le médoc). Je partais avec une certaine réticence : il parait que c est le rhum "tendance" servi en boite de nuit (parisienne).

Palate: Custard to the fore, with a little toffee brittle, guava and cardamom. Hints of nutmeg and cedar. The pink pigeon is the only remaining native Mascarenes pigeon species that has escaped extinction. The most famous of these extinct pigeons is of course the dodo.The rare and beautiful Pink Pigeon is endemic to Mauritius and one of the rarest birds in the world. But did you know it also lends its name to a homegrown Mauritian brand? The Pink Pigeon is one of the rarest birds in the world and flies free in the skies of Mauritius, the tropical paradise of the Indian Ocean.

As part of the conservation effort, Pink Pigeon Rum is a contributor to the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation. As a result, Pink Pigeon Rum has a rich, golden color, along with an aroma of sweet vanilla, delicate spices and cloves. The aroma gives way to notes of soft citrus, vanilla, caramel and whipped cream, and leads to a smooth, semi-sweet finish. "Pink Pigeon Rum is the embodiment of all that is good from our tropical paradise," says Chatel. One of the distillery’s strong points is that it was designed to provide a holistic tourism experience to guests. Mauritian architect Maurice Giraud has created a building that blends harmoniously with the spectacular surroundings. Wood, natural stone, and water provide a sense of communion with nature, turning the distillery into one of the most beautiful factories in the world. Another strong point of the distillery is that it was created to produce the finest rum. A damn sight better than most spiced rums ( which I usually loathe). As a spiced rum I can recommend it. What can I say, since arriving in Mauritius I have become a Rum fan. In fact, I've become somewhat of a rum collector!Appearance: Light straw/gold On swirling coats the glass with a nice appropriately oily coating which then forms legs and some droplets Pink Pigeon Rum is named after the iconic and endangered Pink Pigeon, which is indigenous to the island of Mauritius and carefully protected (the Medine Estate donates a portion of the proceeds from each bottle of rum to the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation). The rum is crafted from molasses produced exclusively from Medine estate-grown sugarcane. Once the molasses has been harvested, it is fermented and then distilled through a four-column, continuous still. Following distillation, the rum is infused with three different ingredients: Bourbon vanilla, orange peel and orchid petals. C est sûr, ça tient plus de la chimie que de la tradition (vanille, caramel, agrume et même bois!) mais il faut avouer que ça passe bien quand même! Pink pigeons are still dependent upon intensive management for their survival. Management measures still undertaken include supplementary feeding, the provision of nest boxes and the management of introduced predators such as rats. Pink Pigeon rum is produced in Mauritius at the Médine estate, which includes a rum distillery and a sugar factory, both separated by a few metres. The sugar factory supplies the distillery with sugar-rich molasses.
