Organic sugar cane has been grown for centuries in small-scale in the Seychelles and there Trois Frères distillery in Takamaka Bay is used by the residents for local Rum production.

Although the age of the distillery and the products appear relatively young don’t let the year specification fool you. The d'Offray brother’s burn according to an old manual of their grandfather, who in his time developed breathtaking spirits with his family recipe.

The operator of a suitcase factory in Fürth Germany discovered the versatile Takamaka products on a Seychelles holiday and took some home and received surprisingly good feedback for the spirits. Since then the hands-on and socially conscious brothers have managed to make a name and impact with their products in the international Rum market.

For the production of the distinctive triple-distilled Rum the distillery uses the hand grown and harvested exquisite sugar cane which has flourished in the Seychelles. Green sugar cane juice is used for the fermentation process rather than molasses as many other distilleries use to produce industrial Rum. The small family run boutique distillery prides itself with its understanding of attention to detail and achieves this well and avoids the usual industrial mass production.

The premium quality Takamaka Bay Spiced Rum is a blend of Pot Still and Column Still distillates which are blended together after two years of storage in new charred American oak barrels. Pure high quality mineral water from the regional mountains also contributes to the overall awesome quality of the Rum. Thus the Takamaka Bay Spiced Rum offers a distinctive full-bodied, deep and exotic taste.

The award-winning Takamaka Bay Spiced Rum behaves extremely tastefully in favorite long drinks and cocktails such as Mai Tai or Zombie. A pure noble enjoyment or on the rocks is recommended especially for connoisseurs.
