Saint Aubin - History Collection Mauritius - Millésime 2004 - 40%
The Domaine de Saint Aubin is located in Savanne, Mauritius. It brings together an old colonial architecture house dating from the 19th century, a vanilla plantation, a tropical flower greenhouse and a rum cellar. The sugar cane plantation on the estate dates back to 1819.
“Mauritius” is a blend of the best rums of the distillery. It went through a long and slow maturation of at least 7 years. With the History Collection series, la Rhumerie du Domaine de Saint Aubin pays tribute to certain historical facts that shaped Mauritius. This “Cuvée Grande Réserve” commemorates the bicentenary of the conquest of “l’Isle de France” which took place between the 29th of November to the 2nd of December 1810 in the north of Mauritius. Few months after the Battle of Grand Port, England gathered a powerful expeditionary force commanded by Sir John Abercromby. They landed in Cap Malheureux and quickly dominated the French forces of the Governor Decaen which were low in number. Following the Treaty of Paris of 1814, Isle de France was given to England and got back its name “Ile Maurice” or “Mauritius”. Limited to 5,218 bottles.
