Rivière du Mât VSOP 70cl 43°
This Rivière du Mât VSOP rum comes from a subtle blend of very old rums. It is aged for four years in the tropical climate of the cellars of Saint-Louis, in the south-west of Reunion Island.
These notes are rich and full-bodied with flavors of wood and exotic fruits enhanced by some spices and a touch of vanilla. A very nice gateway to island rums.

It is also the largest of the three local active distilleries, with a daily production capacity of 40,000 liters of rum (theoretical data).
The molasses used come from the 2 sugar refineries in activity on the island, Gol and Bois Rouge. Concerning distillation, Rivière du Mât uses two columns, the first one operating in a simple way, producing powerful rums. The other one permit to obtain softer rums, by a triple process (exhaustion, concentration, rectification). The barrels used for aging are multiple, French and American, old or new, the aim being to enhance the specific characteristics of the Reunionese terroir, by marking the spices.
The various rums of this distillery, classic or agricultural, are among the most rewarded in recent years.
