Green Island – Superior Rum
A superb molasses-based Mauritian Rum, Green Island is packed with flavour, which is no surprise when you consider that this is actually blended using 3 to 5 year-old rums.
The golden colour of the aged rum is removed via charcoal filtration, which also gives the rum its smooth creamy texture. 37% vol.
Description
This rum has been around since 1960 and to this day remains in the same distinctive packaging. The rum is made from molasses and has gone through a 4 column still. Green Island Superior Light Rum is a blend of 3 and 5 year oak aged rums. During the ageing process the rum takes on a golden colour from the oak casks. The aged rum then undergoes a charcoal filtration where the golden colour is removed without affecting its taste profile.
The rum is extremely smooth and has a lot of complexity on the nose and palate. Hints of grass, aniseed, herbs, coconut, chocolate, fennel and cane are just some of the aromatics coupled with a creaminess and subtlety that makes it unusual and yet a very impressive rum.
