Located on the west of Mauritius, nestled between the
mountains and the azure sea, Medine distillery has been producing rum
since 1926, making it the oldest working distillery in Mauritius.
The distillery is at the heart of the sugar estate where, once a year, juicy sugar canes are harvested to produce precious molasses. It is from these that Penny Blue rum is distilled. And, because it's also bottled here, Penny Blue can proudly claim to be authentic Mauritian Single Estate rum. Each bottle is hand-dipped with our distinctive wax seal on the estate.
Penny Blue VSOP is Medine Distillery's first VSOP release. Made from the finest Single Estate sugar cane, VSOP is aged in ex Cognac, Bourbon and Whisky barrels before being blended by Master Distiller Jean-Francois Koenig and Doug McIvor from Berry Bros & Rudd.
The VSOP retains the characteristic complexity of Penny Blue rums, but is more approachable than the award winning Penny Blue XO and Single Cask releases. Fruity and complex, VSOP can be enjoyed neat or as part of rum cocktails.
