On the islands of Seychelles lies a rum producer that has grown into both a cultural landmark and a sought-after travel destination. Takamaka rum distillery, located at the historic La Plaine St André estate on Mahé Island, has been the nation’s first and only commercial rum producer since 2002.
This is the distillery’s flagship rum and apparently in the favourite amongst the people of Seychelles.
Takamaka Dark Spiced Rum has smooth top notes of local spice, papaya, vanilla and caramel with tones of grass and dry oak underneath. Although you should feel free to sip this rich golden rum short and neat – or with cola for a long classic – it is best enjoyed horizontally, in a hammock.
