About this deal

This bottling contains rum column still distilled from molasses, and matured in a mixture of French and American oak. Prompt simple service and received soon after I provided my ID, our Dodo is going to look so stunning in Cabinet thank you for a Quirky Beautiful Gift cheers! GoDutyFree will be closed on 01st and 2nd January 2024 and will resume all activity on the 3rd of January 2024. A very light tasting rum, with a slightly bland woody taste, reminiscent of chewing on a lollipop stick, unfortunately.

A charming bit of glass craftsmanship here - Mauritius Dodo has bottled up its gold rum in this stunning dodo-shaped bottle! The dodo-shaped bottles are not just novel but symbolise Mauritian innovation and the island's rich heritage. The Gold Rum is a mix of flavours, blending light baking spices, vanilla sweetness, and a hint of black peppercorn heat.The rum is packed with bright, fruity flavours from the off, with notes of apple, pear, apricot, grapefruit, vanilla, soon followed by further flavours of almond, caramel, toffee, and burnt sugar. Its unique flavour comes from the maceration of fresh bananas, vanilla, and red fruits in French oak barrels during the aging process. Pussers taste almost the same as the nose, here it is different carrying all major tones from the nose such as cocoa, dark chocolate, brown sugar, nougat and vanilla with noticable sweetness but it adds a little bit of peppery spiciness to sprinkle it up a little. Easy drinking and approachable, this is a great tasting, great looking rum with a top-tier provenance. The rum comes in bottles shaped like dodos, showcasing the island’s creativity and respect for its past.

Therefore this rum is an extremely attractive and exclusive gift for all connoisseurs of excellent rum. Aged for 12 years, it's smooth for some, harsh for others, with a polarizing aroma and short finish. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Overall mildly disappointed with the rum, annoyed about the short measure, but delighted with the bottle.
