Native only to Mauritius, the pink pigeon is now one of the rarest birds in the world and used to be widely distributed throughout the island. Made as a single estate rum from a molasses base from sugar cane grown in volcanic soil by the Medine Distillery (founded 1926 and oldest operating distillery in the country) and spiced with Madagascar and Reunion Islands BourbonVanilla (which grows as orchids on both islands – and in the case of Reunion grows in heavily volcanic soil), orange zest from Reunion Island, orchid petals (giving it a gentian and white flowers taste) each ingredient is individually macerated in their rum then blended giving them a much more finer grained control over flavor than throwing them all together and hoping. Final Thoughts: Decently made with a distinctive but not overdone spicing which we appreciate given the preponderance of overspiced bitched up rum that is trying to compensate for or hide a poor quality rum. Situated one thousand miles off the southeastern coast of Africa, the remote island of Mauritius was settled by the Dutch in 1507.In 1926, the Medine Estate, which is nestled on a bed of volcanic soil between the Mauritius mountains and the Indian Ocean, was founded.

And in a nice gesture the Pink Pigeon people are also donating to the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation to help safeguard their Mauritian muse.The Pink Pigeon is one of the rarest birds in the world and flies free in the skies of Mauritius, the tropical paradise of the Indian Ocean. First Impression: Delicate, not overdone spicing ( by most spiced rum standards), decent grade of rum used blends nicely with the vanilla, orange and orchid petals give it a nice spice bouquet.

The quality of the underlying rum gives structure and texture allowing the vanilla layers to fuse and play on the palate.
