New 5-star rum tasting bar: an unmissable experience in Mauritius

Rum lovers and visitors seeking authentic experiences in Mauritius now have a new must-visit destination: the brand-new tasting bar at the Village Boutik of L’Aventure du Sucre!

Designed as a true space for discovery and sharing, this newly modernized venue charms guests with its warm and refined atmosphere. The spacious tasting bar, specially created to welcome both individual visitors and groups, invites guests to take their time discovering some of the finest Mauritian rums in an elegant and contemporary setting.

Beyond the tasting bar itself, the retail area has also been completely redesigned down to the smallest detail: new lighting, premium bottle displays, and warm materials throughout. The scenography highlights three major rum universes that showcase the identity, origins, and aromatic characteristics of New Grove Distillery, allowing visitors to better appreciate the richness of rum traditions from around the world.

This new visual identity, imagined by the French agency Clémence Farrell and developed in partnership with Grays, transforms the space into a true showcase of Mauritian expertise and craftsmanship in rum-making.

A unique tasting experience featuring New Grove’s 5-star rums

Visitors can enjoy tastings of around fifteen 5-star rums from New Grove Distillery, the oldest operating distillery in Mauritius, renowned for its authenticity, aromatic finesse, and exceptional quality.

In the world of rum, excellence lies in the perfect balance between the origin of the product and the mastery of every stage of its production, from the sugarcane fields to the bottling process — a philosophy captured by the expression “from field to glass.”

This approach highlights a unique terroir combined with rigorous and consistent craftsmanship. It is this blend of authenticity, precision, and passion that gives rise to the celebrated “5-star rums” of New Grove Distillery.

L’Aventure Rum: an exclusive cuvée available exclusively on-site

The space also showcases L’Aventure Rum, an exclusive creation specially developed for L’Aventure du Sucre. Available exclusively on-site, this unique cuvée reflects the rich history of sugarcane, rum, and Mauritian heritage.

For spirit enthusiasts in search of a rare and authentic bottle, L’Aventure Rum is a must-have from the Village Boutik.

Three great worlds of rum brought together for a one-of-a-kind tasting experience

The new space dedicated to the rums of New Grove Distillery at the Village Boutik offers visitors the opportunity to better understand the unique characteristics of each rum style while discovering the richness of Mauritian spirits.

👉 The New Grove brand is rooted in the tradition of English-style rums made from molasses. Dry, flavourful, and powerful in aroma, these rums were historically produced in former British colonies.

Considered among the finest molasses rums in the world, they are 100% natural, with no added sugar, and stand out for their fruity, structured, and elegant aromatic profiles.

👉 The Mauricia brand represents the French tradition of agricole rum, crafted from freshly pressed sugarcane juice. Inspired by the expertise of the French Caribbean islands, these rums are known for their dry, robust, and intensely aromatic profiles.

Mauricia reveals fresh, minty, slightly spicy, and peppery notes that give it a truly distinctive identity.

👉 The Lazy Dodo brand embodies the tradition of Spanish-style rums, crafted from molasses using methods inherited from former Hispanic colonies. Renowned for its smooth and approachable profile, this rum delights with exotic notes, a silky texture, and a generous character.

A true tribute to the Mauritian art of living, Lazy Dodo offers a warm, smooth, and indulgent tasting experience.

Rhum Émotion: the world’s finest rum to discover in Mauritius

Among the must-try references available at the tasting bar is Rhum Émotion, crowned the world’s best rum in 2020.

Available exclusively for tasting at L’Aventure du Sucre, visitors can discover this iconic rum — internationally acclaimed and award-winning — through a premium paid tasting experience.

This exclusivity further enhances the unique character of this new tasting bar in Mauritius. To learn more about the story and accolades of this exceptional cuvée, read our dedicated article: The World’s Best Rum to Discover in Mauritius.
