The Pearl of Mauritius

Opinions land all over the place here, but the theme is clear: this is a hazelnut-and-vanilla dessert bottle, very sweet, with a synthetic edge that puts some people off. Fans call it a fun nutty after-dinner pour; others taste flambéed banana and chocolate but find it artificially sweet. One member sums it up as an ideal dessert, another as disappointing for a rum.

The community says
  • Strong hazelnut note
  • Sweet dessert style
  • But: Tastes artificial

Taste confirms what the smell suggested... very artificial taste, very hazelnut, very disappointing, not at all what I expect from a rum... Sugar content according to my measurement about 34 g/l.

Expert review by Hogshead - Der Whisky Blog

Very suitable for fans of sweet dessert spirits. Those who appreciate unsweetened rums should not go for this. The macerates of hazelnut and vanilla are in the foreground.

Mauritius 

Avg Rating 7.6/10 over 490 Rums

Mauritius is the rum island of the Indian Ocean, a sugarcane country that makes it all: smooth aged molasses rum, fresh-juice agricole, and the spiced and fruit-steeped rhum arrange that locals drink. That range across three rum styles makes it one of the most varied origins in rum, still flying under the radar of most drinkers.
