About this deal

Palate: Custard to the fore, with a little toffee brittle, guava and cardamom. Hints of nutmeg and cedar. Rum history allegedly started in the Carribiens in the 17th century when they started to ferment and distill molasses, a byproduct of sugar production. Most of the Rum is aged in oak or ex-wine casks, giving its color and flavor. Native only to Mauritius, the pink pigeon is now one of the rarest birds in the world and used to be widely distributed throughout the island. Today, pink pigeons are found only in four sub-populations located in remote, forested, or mountainous regions of southwestern Mauritius. Pink Pigeon Rum is from Mauritius a small country/island near Reunion Island, 50040 mile east of Madagascar, and not to be confused with Mauritania.

The award-winning New Grove Rums are testimonials to Mauritius’s long-standing history in the art of rum making. They showcase the rich heritage and excellence of the island’s rum-making tradition. The Pink Pigeon is one of the rarest birds in the world and flies free in the skies of Mauritius, the tropical paradise of the Indian Ocean.First Impression: Delicate, not overdone spicing ( by most spiced rum standards), decent grade of rum used blends nicely with the vanilla, orange and orchid petals give it a nice spice bouquet.

It is here, nestled between the azure sea and towering mountains, that Medine Estate has been producing rum since 1926, making it the oldest working distillery on the Island. Pink Pigeon rum is produced in Mauritius at the Médine estate, which includes a rum distillery and a sugar factory, both separated by a few metres. The sugar factory supplies the distillery with sugar-rich molasses.

In 1991 only about 10 pink pigeons remained in the wild. Due to a very successful species recovery programme the population had risen to nearly 500 individuals in 2014.

Take one rather moody looking bottle, a hefty dose of vanilla, Britain’s oldest wine and spirit merchant, throw in an incredibly rare bird, then invite one of our most creative mixologists to see where his inspiration takes him. Welcome to Pink Pigeon rum and seven (count them seven) new serves from Ryan Chetiyawardana.

Pink pigeons are still dependent upon intensive management for their survival. Management measures still undertaken include supplementary feeding, the provision of nest boxes and the management of introduced predators such as rats. This Rum is produced in the Island of Mauritius which was once home of the Dodo, but is now home to the Pink Pigeon. The Pink Pigeon Rum is produced and distilled on the Medine Estate, in the Medine Estate. Located the south of the island of Mauritius, a few kilometres north of Souillac, the estate of St. Aubin has been cultivating sugar cane since 1819. The distillery located on the estate itself was named after its former owner Mr. Pierre de Saint Aubin. It is known for creating the first sugarcane-based rum on the island.

Made from some of the finest sugar cane in the world, Pink Pigeon undergoes quadruple distillation with each time a new botanical being added to the mix. The bourbon Vanilla is considered to be the finest vanilla in the world. It grows wild in the rainforests of Reunion and Madagascar before being sundried and matured in the wooden cases for eight months and once fully matured it is infused with Pink Pigeons rum and rested for a further six months. This labour intensive process make the bourbon vanilla one of the most expensive spices in the world. As a result, Pink Pigeon Rum has a rich, golden color, along with an aroma of sweet vanilla, delicate spices and cloves. The aroma gives way to notes of soft citrus, vanilla, caramel and whipped cream, and leads to a smooth, semi-sweet finish. "Pink Pigeon Rum is the embodiment of all that is good from our tropical paradise," says Chatel.
