Star & Key Mauritius Passion Fruit Rum

The Star & Key Mauritius Passion Fruit Rum was produced on the basis of fresh sugar cane juice from red and yellow sugar cane varieties. After fermentation in closed tanks, it is distilled in a specially constructed Coffey still. The infusion with passion fruit is carried out using the traditional Mauritian method, namely directly in the barrel. Former bourbon barrels and cognac casks are used for ageing before the rum is infused with passion fruit in the barrels. Mauritius, also known as the "Star & Key" of the Indian Ocean, is a small island state with a unique ecosystem. Sugar cane has been cultivated there since 1639. The Labourdonnais Estate, founded in 1856 and family-run for eight generations, is situated on 600 hectares of plantation land and is famous for its sugar cane quality and its historic manor house. Star & Key Rum is a single estate rum made from fresh sugar cane that reflects the terroir of the island. The entire production process - from harvesting to bottling - takes place directly on the estate. The passion fruit for the Passion Fruit Rum also comes from there.
