Takamaka Zepis Kreol

How it's made

Zepis Kreol draws its character from both oak and local Seychelles spices. A blend of pot and column distilled molasses rum, macerated with locally grown natural spices before being pressed with ex-merlot wood fines. We add an 8 year old Bajan Foursquare rum before finally letting it rest for 60 days inside very old ex-bourbon casks before bottling.

Tasting note

A true depth of flavour with a rich oak character complimented by the local cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and quatre epices with just a hint of island sweetness. No colouring or artificial flavouring and bottled at 43% non-chill filtered ABV. A spiced rum of true Seychellois origin that can be served long or short but we always pour over ice.

How to serve

Perfect neat, on ice or in a Dark ‘n’ Stormy.

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.
