Green Island Superior
An island,
distilled.
The spirit of Mauritius, since 1960.
Scroll
Land, at last.
Weeks of open sea. Then, out of the dawn mist, the green peaks of Mauritius.
A traveller comes ashore.
His name is Mark Twain. What a Mauritian tells him here will end up in his next book.
“You gather the idea that Mauritius was made first, and then heaven; and that heaven was copied after Mauritius.”
The island, bottled.
Green Island is bottled for the first time, from the molasses of Mauritius's own cane.
Four columns. Years in oak.
Distilling begins on the island. The spirit rests three to five years before it is blended.
Then charcoal. Until it runs clear.
Packed for the voyage.
Open it.
Mauritius, bottled clear.
Green Island Superior. The most widely exported Mauritian rum.
