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.
Tasting Notes
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.
Palate
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.
