Rumcast Mauritius Labourdonnais 5yr 63.0% (375ml)
$60.00
Rumcast Reserve, Journey 1: Mauritius MLM0
In early 2025, Rumcast co-hosts John Gulla and Will Hoekenga tasted their way through the warehouse at Liverpool’s legendary Main Rum Company with one goal: come back with special casks that were not only evocative of the rum’s origin, but also of Main Rum’s unique aging environment and cask management skills.
This single cask is one of two selected for their inaugural releases, a 5-year-old cane juice rum distilled at Distillerie de Labourdonnais on the island of Mauritius.
The Specs:
- Bottle Size: 375 ml
- Distillation Date: December 2015
- Distillery: Distillerie de Labourdonnais in Mapou, Mauritius
- Still: Single column still
- Base Material: Fresh sugarcane juice
- ABV: 63.0% — bottled at cask strength
- Cask Type: Ex-English malt whisky cask (from. Cotswolds Distillery) that previously held red wine — Main Rum refers to these as “wine malt” casks
- Aging Location: The Main Rum Company’s Plutus and Dempster warehouses in Liverpool, England
- Age: 5 years, 5 months
- Notes: The unaged rum was initially rested in a stainless steel tank at origin until February 2017, when it was decanted into a stainless steel drum and shipped to the UK. It remained in that drum until it was filled into cask on September 30, 2019. The cask was filled to 156.9 RLPA at a strength of 69.5% ABV. It was decanted into a drum for shipping to the U.S. on February 25, 2025. MLM0 is an internal Main Rum mark that stands for Main Rum – Labourdonnais – Mauritius – 0 years aged at origin.
