Takamaka Zannanan Pineapple Seychellerne Spirit Drink 70 cl 40%

Zannanan is the Creole word for pineapple, and it's no coincidence that's exactly what this bottle tastes most of.

Expert description

Takamaka Zannanan is a Spirit Drink flavoured with pineapple and bottled at 40%.

The rum comes from Trois Frères Distillery on Mahé in the Seychelles and starts from the house's unaged Blanc rum, which is then infused with natural pineapple essences. The added sugar used in the flavouring means the product must legally be labelled Spirit Drink rather than Rum. The result is a vibrant, fruit-driven drink where the fresh pineapple is complemented by sugarcane and a hint of gentle spice from the base.
