The Bestel family is known to have settled in Mauritius around 1800. Originally from Sedan in the French Ardennes-Champagne region, the production of fine liqueurs is part of the family DNA. Following the passion of his father who ran a small business of distilled sugar cane spirits and liqueurs, Frederic started to create his very own Lychee Liqueur during his studies. And he was famous for it.
