Takamaka Zepis Kreol

Takamaka St André Zepis Kreol is an original spiced rum from Seychelles, belonging to the premium collection St André Series. This series showcases the artisanal approach of the brand Takamaka and its connection to island origins, local ingredients, and a distinctive Creole character.

The base of the rum is a blend of pot and column molasses rum, which is macerated with locally grown Seychellois spices. It primarily uses cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice, giving the rum a warm, aromatic, and spicy profile. The blend is then complemented by 8-year-old rum Foursquare from Barbados, adding greater depth and a rum-like character.

In aroma and taste, it presents a rich oak foundation, complemented by notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, spices, and a subtle island sweetness. It does not come across as an overly sweet vanilla spiced rum, but rather as a fuller, spicier, and more mature rum meant for slow sipping.

Takamaka Zepis Kreol is perfect for serving over ice, but it also shines in long mixed drinks, such as with quality ginger beer or in simple rum cocktails, where it can showcase its spicy Seychellois character.
