Lazy Dodo XO Chronicles

Lazy Dodo XO Chronicles is an extra aged single estate rum. The molasses is fermented for up to 30 hours and then distilled in a Coffey column still. The rum is then aged for a minimum of 13 years in ex-cognac and ex-bourbon French oak barrels. A blend of the best vintages creates a balanced and well-structured rum.

It has a beautiful copper colour with an orange hue. Initially, it offers a palette of sophisticated aromas, from citrus and woody flavours to lighter notes of caramelised sugar and oranges that add an overwhelming freshness. The finish is warm and pleasantly lingering. Lazy Dodo XO Chronicles is a treat for the senses.

Interestingly, the rum bears the name of the Dodo bird - the Dront the flightless (Mauritian), which used to live on the island of Mauritius, sadly now extinct. The Dodo had short legs, could not fly and had a beak up to 23 cm long, hard and hooked. The dodo was not at all afraid of humans and, as it did not fly, was easy prey. The first sightings of the dronto were by the Portuguese, who landed on the island in 1505. The name dodo comes from the old Portuguese word doudou, which means "fool".

The bottles were bottled at 40 % alcohol with a volume of 0,7 l and come in a stylish gift box.
