Born under the trade winds of the Indian Ocean, the Lazy Dodo - Vanille Ananas - Rhum 35% is an ode to sensory pleasure. Its indulgent profile, carried by Victoria pineapple and island vanilla, meets the natural softness of a molasses rum carefully crafted in Mauritius. Its distinctly contemporary signature appeals to spirit lovers who seek a smooth and generous impression—an approachable tasting that never sacrifices character. Whether served in a tulip glass to let its aromas unfurl or set alight on the mixology stage, this rum evokes a sunset over the lagoon, a pause where each aromatic nuance paints a landscape. At 35% alcohol, it charms with its suppleness, amiable intensity and ability to bring guests together around a sensory and convivial experience. A lively, caressing style designed for moments that deserve a touch of escape.

Blend and production

The unique profile of this blend is built on a base of cane sugar molasses from the Mauritian terroir, whose aromatic generosity provides a smooth and warm backbone. After production, the rum is infused with Victoria pineapple, the island's emblematic fruit known for its juicy flesh and sweet-tart character, as well as with a local vanilla whose aromatic finesse brings a silky, captivating veil. This precise infusion preserves the fruit's freshness while revealing a delicately pastry-like thread. The careful reduction to 35% alcohol favors a tender, luminous palate—accessible neat and ideal for high-end mixology where texture, aroma and persistence work in unison. Without technical ostentation, the achieved balance foregrounds the roundness of the cane and the grace of tropical flavors.

Tasting notes

• Appearance : Pale gold with luminous highlights and an enticing clarity, suggesting a creamy body and a vibrant aromatic expression.
• Nose : A precise bouquet of ripe Victoria pineapple, creamy vanilla and gentle touches of cane sugar, lifted by a hint of candied citrus and a whisper of white flowers.
• Palate : Soft, enveloping entry with a silky texture. Pineapple unfolds juicy freshness, vanilla brings pastry-like roundness, and the finish extends into a clear, luminous tropical persistence.

Serving temperature and recommendations

Serve this rum lightly chilled when tasting neat to reveal the finesse of its infusion, or over a large ice cube to elongate the fruity thread and velvety texture. In cocktails, it elevates an exotic sour, a crisp highball or a more sophisticated tiki creation, where its structured sweetness provides coherence and breadth. Opening the bottle a few moments before serving allows the aromas to reach their full plenitude. Store the bottle upright, away from light and temperature fluctuations, to preserve the brilliance of its aromatic expression.

Food pairings

• Aperitifs : pineapple-glazed shrimp skewers, cured ham with pineapple cubes, mini vanilla ricotta tarts.
• Starters : sea bream ceviche with citrus, tuna tartare, pineapple carpaccio with lime and pink peppercorns.
• Main courses : caramelised pork with warm spices, roasted poultry with a vanilla and honey marinade, rum-flambéed prawns.
