Designed for intensity and flavour, this overproof rum brings island character and full force to any glass – yet manages to remain surprisingly smooth.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Aromatic and intense. Notes of roasted sugarcane, pineapple, lime leaf, and a hint of white pepper.

Palate

Full-bodied and warm with bursts of tropical fruit, coconut, ginger, and a light mineral edge. A flavour explosion that lingers.

Finish

Long and warming, with persistent hints of lime, caramel, and spicy heat.

Serving Tip

Use Takamaka Overproof in tiki-style cocktails like a Zombie or Mai Tai for extra punch. Also great in a shared punch bowl with ice, citrus, and tropical fruits. Feeling brave? Try it neat with a splash of water to unlock its full aroma.

Takamaka Rum

Takamaka Rum is a premium rum from Seychelles, produced by the Trois Frères Distillery, located on the idyllic island of Mahé. Founded in 2002 by brothers Richard and Bernard d'Offay, Takamaka is named after a popular bay on the island and the brand has quickly gained a global reputation for its unique flavour and quality.

The distillery is set amidst the lush tropical surroundings of Seychelles, where the sugar cane is locally grown and carefully processed. A special feature of Takamaka Rum is the combination of traditional Creole distillation techniques and modern production processes. The rum is made from both local sugarcane and imported molasses, creating a rich and layered flavour.

Takamaka Rum is known for its tropical and fruity notes, complemented by hints of vanilla, caramel and spices. The rums are aged in French and American oak barrels, which ensures a smooth and refined taste. The range varies from white and dark rums to special matured expressions, which perfectly capture the vibrant spirit of Seychelles. Takamaka is not only a symbol of Creole culture, but also an internationally loved rum that stands for quality and authenticity.
