Bristol Classic Rums, founded by renowned rum connoisseur John Barrett, is a UK-based independent bottler celebrated for sourcing and ageing exceptional rums from across the globe. With a focus on authenticity, terroir, and cask-driven complexity, Bristol Classic Rums hand-selects rare and characterful spirits from the Caribbean and beyond, maturing them under optimal conditions before bottling without chill filtration or artificial additives. Each release reflects a commitment to traditional rum-making, provenance, and unadulterated expression.
The Finest Mauritius Cane Juice Rhum is a standout expression of this philosophy. Distilled at the La Bourdonnais Estate on the northern coast of Mauritius, this rum is crafted from freshly pressed sugar cane juice, capturing the island’s lush terroir. Bottled at 43% ABV, it offers a vivid and unaged profile that highlights the purity of its ingredients.
In the glass, it presents a clear and bright appearance. The nose is aromatic and complex, with notes of green apples, lemon zest, fresh-cut grass, and white pepper, complemented by hints of muscovado sugar and new leather. On the palate, it is fresh and smooth, delivering flavours of grassy sugar cane juice, dried apple slices, and a touch of spice, all wrapped in a lightly glycerolized texture. The finish is clean and refreshing, leaving a lasting impression of the rum’s natural elegance.
