RIVIERE DU MAT - XO - 42%
Founded in 1886, Rivière du Mât is one of the oldest distilleries on Reunion Island still in operation today. The Rivière du Mât Distillery takes its name from an ancient legend: a ship that left to explore the island ran aground in a river bed, leaving its mast in sight for years. Located in Saint-Benoît, on the east coast of the island, the Distillery makes rums from molasses from sugar cane plantations on volcanic soil which, combined with the pure waters of the rivers of the East, will bring to the stages fermentation and distillation of singular aromatic tones revealing all the rich expression of the Reunion terroir.
Rivière du Mât XO is made from a blend of rums ranging in age from 8 to 15 years old.
