Emperor Rum

A rum from Mauritius, whose name signals a certain imperial refinement within the otherwise laid-back Caribbean and Indian Ocean style. Emperor is one of the newer players in Mauritius' growing rum export, which has gained international traction in recent years. Behind the elegant packaging lie experiments with different cask types, giving each release its own character.

  • Rum bottle in gift box, Emperor Heritage
    Item no.: 22227865377-2235

    Two rum traditions in one bottle – Emperor Heritage unites the molasses-based rum heritage with the fresher, more agricole-driven style from pure sugarcane juice.

    Expert Description

    Emperor Heritage is a Mauritian Blended Rum, a blend of traditional molasses rum and rhum agricole made from fresh sugarcane juice, bottled at 40%.

    The rum matures in French and American oak casks, giving it a layered complexity that balances fruitiness, spice and woody tones. By uniting the two classic rum styles – molasses and agricole – in one bottle, Emperor Heritage honours Mauritius' dual rum heritage and showcases the distillery's versatility.

    Palate

    Soft and full-bodied with a harmonious blend of tropical fruit, caramel, spicy wood and a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg, where molasses and fresh sugarcane blend with notes of chocolate and coffee.

    Finish

    Concludes with a subtle, smoky finish that leaves a lasting impression.

  • Rum bottle in gift box, Emperor Rum Sherry Finish
    Item no.: 22227865377-2234

    A blend of pure sugarcane juice and molasses that, after years of maturation, receives a final six-month finish in sherry casks – Emperor Sherry Finish is Mauritius' answer to a classic European cask finish.

    Expert Description

    Emperor Rum Sherry Finish is a Mauritian Blended Rum matured for 5-12 years and bottled at 40%.

    The rum is a blend of rum made from both fresh sugarcane juice (40%) and molasses (60%), matured for 5 to 12 years in American and French oak casks, before undergoing a final six-month finish in sherry casks before bottling. This dual approach to the raw material, combined with the sherry finish, gives the rum a rich golden colour with a reddish copper sheen and a complex, sherry-driven character.

    Nose

    Complex with raisins, roasted nuts, vanilla and a hint of sherry, complemented by red fruits, woody and floral tones as well as an earthy sweetness of dried red fruits, sweet fig and orange marmalade.

    Mild and round with dried fruit, oak, caramel and fine spice, where candied tones are accompanied by subtle spices and a touch of coffee.

    Finish

    Medium-long, soft and pleasantly fruity with a subtle woody structure, where the charm of candied fruit and the elegance of sherry linger.
