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.

About the rum

This is a 7-year old molasses-based rum (from a column–still) aged in new French Oak Barrels which gives it a profile of strength and power. For this artisanal range, the Vintage year is the year the rum is removed from the barrels and bottled.

Tasting notes

On the nose, there are notes of oak, vanilla, and sugarcane. On the palate, notes of dark chocolate, hazelnut, dates and finishes on woody notes of cinnamon and nutmeg – very smooth on the tongue.
