Takamaka Rum Zenn Seychelles Rum 70 cl 40%

Zenn is the Creole word for "sweet," and that's exactly the feeling Takamaka has tried to capture in this light, accessible rum.

Expert description

Takamaka Rum Zenn is an Unaged Rum with a brief passage through ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 40%.

The rum comes from Trois Frères Distillery on Mahé in the Seychelles and is composed as a light, creamy, immediately accessible rum that gains a subtle wood influence from a short period in American ex-bourbon casks without being categorised as a true age-stated rum. This makes Zenn a middle ground between the house's clean Blanc expression and the fully matured dark rum releases.
