A rare Mauritian rum meets a decadent dessert wine

Aged in French-oak casks for at least six years, this limited-edition tipple was taken one step further — aged in second-fill Sauternes casks for an additional three-and-a-half years.

As part of the exclusive Highveld Aging Series, the unashamedly round curves of this bottle hint at the smooth, rounded palate that awaits, imbued with decadently rich flavours of dried peaches, orange marmalade, tobacco leaves, festive spices, and salt-cured rosemary.

Available at select retailers nationwide, only 275 bottles have been produced, each retailing for about R1 695.
