Drank neat Mauritius Dodo Rum is sweet and smooth, with a slightly heavy consistency, making it feel to a degree like a liqueur. However, there is no depth of flavour, but rather just a generic sweetness which is hard to describe. I suppose what I’m trying to say, is that drank neat this rum is ok, especially for rum enthusiasts like myself who have a sweet tooth. But, it’s only just about ok, because it’s a wee bit bland and boring truth be told. When mixed with Coca-Cola this rum does improve, slightly. The fizzy black pop highlights notes of vanilla which I could detect on my palate and a very faint hint of coffee in the aftertaste. Even so, it still remained too insipid, for my liking.
My husband was gifted a dodo decanter of this rum for Christmas 2023, and he enjoyed not only the rum, but the theatre of the decanter so I planned to get a refill last christmas. Sadly it was out of stock at the time but I was notified when new stock arrived, subsequently I have a bottle hidden away ready for his birthday.
A wonderfully expressive rum in a beautiful bottle. A little sweet with the vanilla at the forefront but with a smooth finish, highly recommended.
