Takamaka EXTRA NOIR Rum is a characterful blended rum from the Seychelles, characterised by a combination of different distillation methods and an unusual wood-ageing process. It is based on molasses rums from pot stills and column stills, which are blended together. The blend is then initially aged in French oak. Another distinctive feature of the production process is the so-called ‘pressing’ with French oak and ex-bourbon oak, which introduces specific woody notes into the rum. Takamaka thus combines stronger, ester-rich pot-still components with lighter column-still distillates and a multi-stage wood treatment.


Finally, the Takamaka Extra Noir is left to rest for a further 60 days in ex-casks previously used for French sugarcane rum. It is bottled at 43 per cent in a 0.7-litre bottle, with Takamaka expressly avoiding the addition of sugar and chill filtration. This ensures that the original character of the distillates used and the various influences of the wood remain particularly pronounced. The pot-still components contribute a distinct ester profile, whilst French oak provides spice and the ex-bourbon casks add vanilla and sweet notes. Takamaka EXTRA NOIR Blended Rum thus combines molasses, two distillation methods, different types of wood and a final period of cask resting to create a powerful rum with a distinctive profile.
