The most important was we love what the cane produces, especially in new French oak, but in the same way we loved what imported Barbados rum (Foursquare) and our own molasses rum brought to the table. We approached it in a similar way to blended scotch whisky in essence looking to highlight what we love about each rum. Important was also – as a small distillery that is still developing (only 20 years old) – by approaching the blending In this manner we are more than the sum of all parts – allowed us to release what we believe are some really exciting rums “ This article contains content that is written like an advertisement.

( May 2017) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Sokáig a Baka volt a Seychelle-szigeteki iváskultúra leghíresebb itala, azonban olyan erős volt, hogy pár kortya könnyen véget vethetett egy hangulatos bulinak. A készítéséhez -a korai mexikói tequila előállításához hasonlóan- erjesztett cukornádlevet használtak, és ezt a helyi közösségek még ma is előszeretettel fogyasztják. A Seychelle szigeteken korábban óriási népszerűségnek örvendett a helyi gyümölcsökből, zöldségekből és pálmaolajból finomítás nélkül készített ital, a fahéjból, vaníliából és fűszerekből álló Baka. A régi időkben a Baka volt a valuta ezeken a szigeteken, az embereket azonban sokszor annyira megviselték az intenzívebb ízek, az ital fogyasztói másnap nem tudtak aktív munkát végezni.

A Takamaka rumok a csodás Seychelle-szigetekről származnak, alapjául a szigetek kristálytiszta vizét használják. Az organikus cukornádat a Mahé sziget 4 különböző pontján termesztik. Az erjesztés temperált rozsdamentes acél tartályokban történik, majd francia és amerikai tölgyfahordókban érlelik, míg elnyeri igazán selymes, lágy ízét.Grankaz : The standout sipper of the group, Grankaz combines pot-distilled Seychelles cane rum aged in medium toast new French oak with three-year-old ex-bourbon molasses rum and then a helping of eight-year-old Bajan Foursquare molasses rum. It’s an expert blend, bottled at 45.1% with no additional sugar or colouring and only very lightly filtered. It’s got lots of classic rich and sweet notes you want, from toasted vanilla to luscious caramel, as well as heaps of dried fruit and this herbaceous, floral quality that drifts welcomely throughout. Served over ice on a warm Seychelles day is paradise. If you can’t get there, it should help ease those woes and transport you. If you wishto explore the world of Seychellois rum, the Takamaka Distillery is an essential reference. Established in 2002 by two passionate brothers, it offers a wide range of high-quality artisanal rums, crafted with mastery and creativity. Visiting the Takamaka Distillery When I was at Takamaka’s home in June I saw first-hand how much renovation is taking place to create more Seychellois rum, with new stills and a boiler installed in the agricole distillery. This included a 1,000-litre wash still with a traditional copper condenser that has eight bubble plates that allow for an advanced rum separation, as well as a new 450-litre hybrid spirit still. I can see why. I truly love what the Takamaka team has made. This is a singular project, born out of a true love for both the island and the spirit, one that has only lasted because of tremendous resilience and resourcefulness. They could have done it so differently. They could have just bottled someone else’s rum. They could have just bought in cane. They could have just sold up when it started going well and retired to the beach. Instead, they brought spirit to The Seychelles, and better they made one that embodies this incredible island. Aki szereti a koktélokat tudja, hogy a rum igazi jolly joker. A fehér rum szinte semleges íze tökéletesen alapot nyújt koktélokhoz, érdemes belőle tartani otthon egy üveggel (legalább). A barna rum karakteres, fűszeres íze pedig önmagában is pompás, de kiváló koktélokat is lehet belőle keverni, sőt akár teában vagy süteményben is nagyon jól működik.

I recently had a chat with Richard (Marketing Director), about the distillery, their rums and future releases. Here are a few quotes from him: White Overproof 69 Rum – Much higher than the standard 40% ABV, Takamaka 69 has an ABV of 69% and is best used in mixed drinks. 70CL/69%
