About this bottle

Compagnie des Indes Mauritius 9 Year Old is a dark & aged rum from Mauritius in our spirits range. It is bottled at 42% ABV, carrying a 9-year age statement, in a 700 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: Like a lovely stroll through spice stalls. Black pepper, cumin, rice, starchy notes but also some sweetness with salted caramel aromas; on the palate: Well-rounded and fruity. It then develops aromas of red berries (strawberries, gooseberries), then evolves to pure cane juice, thus evoking its raw material; finish: Surprisingly, despite being nice and easy to begin with, it has quite a bitter finish, giving it a delicious balance.

Serving & pairing

White rum suits Daiquiris and Mojitos; aged rum deserves a neat pour. Pairs with jerk chicken, tropical fruit and banana desserts.

Does “dark rum” mean aged rum?

Not necessarily. Colour can come from oak ageing or from added caramel. Look for an age statement or the words “aged” or a year count; “Navy”, “Demerara” and “Jamaican” describe style and origin rather than age.

Weekend sipping

Mezcal that tastes like a place.

“Smoke, not a campfire, with the village and the agave named on the page. I read it, then I drank it. Spirit Hives had both parts right.”
Fatima Z.Artisanal mezcal
Summer garden

A gin I cannot buy on the high street.

“A citrus gin that barely shows up in the States. Spirit Hives listed the botanicals, I ordered a 700 ml, and it became the house G and T. Not cheap. Completely worth it.”
Hannah W.Contemporary gin
Case order

The case made more sense.

“I drink the reposado enough that a single bottle was a habit. Switching the option to a case at Spirit Hives dropped the unit price and I stopped running out mid-month.”
Carlos M.Reposado tequila, 6-pack
Tasting night

Tequila I finally sipped.

“An anejo, neat, orange slice, no shot glass. Friends scoffed until the second pour. Two of them have since ordered their own from Spirit Hives.”
Diego V.Anejo tequila
