STARR rum is a single estate, barrel aged ultra premium rum made exclusively from sugar cane grown and distilled on our estate on the beautiful island nation of MAURITIUS. STARR is 100% MADE IN AFRICA, FAIR LABOR / FAIR TRADE and is highly committed to the goal of promoting positive development throughout the continent. Furthermore, STARR is 100% committed to producing the best rum in the world in
both a socially and environmentally responsible manner. Mark Twain said, “Mauritius was made first, and then heaven; and heaven was copied after Mauritius.” He was right! And STARR rum is the result of this little piece of heaven off the southeast coast of Africa. Mauritius produces the best sugar cane in the world. It begins with the ideal climate and some of the purest water on the globe, naturally filtered by volcanic rock loaded with minerals. STARR’s unexpected flavor originates in the island’s rich volcanic soil and reflects the vivacity of its African roots with a cherry and cardamom body plus hints of citrus, nutgmeg, vanilla and cinnamon. STARR’s smooth, clean taste derives from our sophisticated distilling techniques and aging process which creates this ultra-refined, award winning rum. Although subtle STARR’s character possesses an unmistakable joie de vivre captured in our exclusive bottle custom made by master craftsmen in South Africa. Out of respect for this majestic island, STARR’s distillery is operated in an environmentally sustainable manner.
“SUPERB (90-95)/HIGHLY RECOMMENDED – An earthy, dry, clean, and bean- and cane-like aroma with delicate scents of cocoa bean, vanilla bean, and brown sugar. The palate entry in bittersweet, concentrated and beany; at midpalate the flavor profile becomes sweeter and more like vanilla extract. The bean intensity reaches its bittersweet zenith in the high-flying aftertaste. Chic, racy and delicious.” -Paul Pacult, Wine Enthusiast
