Penny Blue - dry single estate rum with Caribbean depth
Penny Blue comes from the Medine distillery in Mauritius, founded in 1926, and is bottled without added sugar, natural in color and un-chill filtered. The style is dry and elegant - ideal for connoisseurs looking for a clear rum signature.
Region & origin
The rum is produced directly on the estate: From sugar cane harvesting to molasses to distillation and ageing - everything takes place within the Medine distillery, nestled in a tropical garden setting.
Production & craft
Distillation is carried out using the column still method and ageing takes place in the warm climate of Mauritius. Series such as VSOP (~4 years), XO, and Single Cask (up to 9-11 years) show progressive maturity and diversity.
Design & Brand Appearance
The bottles bear a distinctive Penny Blue stamp label and a dark blue wax seal cap. Elegant and classic, with a clear identity of origin.
Variety & highlights
- VSOP (40 %): Sweet and balanced with vanilla, wood and light fruitiness - overall gentle and accessible.
- XO (43 - 44 %): Complex with caramel, orange, spices and light oak notes - dry and multi-layered in taste.
- Single Cask (55 - 60 %): Limited, cask strength, rich with oak, spice & vanilla; natural color, un-chill filtered - collector quality.
Sustainability & transparency
Without sugar, without colorants, not chill-filtered - Penny Blue is transparent and brings out the pure rum of the Medine Estate.
Awards & reputation
Several trophy and silver medals at the International Spirits Challenge & IWSC, with high ratings on platforms such as RumX (~7-8/10). Community reviews praise the dry style and whisky-like elegance.
