Mater Blended Sugarcane Sicilian Rum is a Other Rum from the Mater Spirits brand crafted in Italy.
This unique Sicilian rum blends yellow and purple sugarcane varieties grown on a single estate, offering a taste of terroir rarely found in rum. Surprisingly, Sicily was once a major producer of sugarcane in the 15th century, making Mater Rum a modern revival of a long-lost island tradition.
Mater Blended Sugarcane Sicilian Rum offers cocktail enthusiasts a truly unique experience, combining the terroir of Sicily with the innovative approach of a new distillery producing 100% estate-grown, single pot-distilled rum from yellow and purple cane varieties – a first for the region and a rarity in the rum world.
Mater Blended Sugarcane Sicilian Rum shines when sipped neat or with a large ice cube to appreciate its complex flavors, but it also elevates tropical or citrus-forward cocktails; enjoy it year-round, though its bright notes make it particularly refreshing in summer, and pair it with Mediterranean dishes or grilled seafood to complement its herbal undertones.
Nose: Herbaceous and savory aromas lead the way, with notes of fresh-cut grass and garden herbs like thyme and rosemary. There's a subtle undercurrent of tropical fruits and a hint of sea breeze.
Palate: Bright citrus flavors burst forward, followed by ripe tropical fruits like pineapple and mango. A layer of wild honey sweetness balances the herbal qualities. Notes of apricot and pear emerge, alongside a distinctive salted caramel character.
Finish: Medium to long, with lingering herbal notes of thyme and rosemary. The finish leaves a pleasant interplay between sweet tropical fruits and a subtle saline quality, reminiscent of sea salt. A touch of marigold floral character adds complexity to the aftertaste.
Mater Blended Sugarcane Sicilian Rum is crafted entirely on a single estate in Sicily, from growing the cane to distillation in a single pot still, creating a truly terroir-driven spirit; what's particularly fascinating is that this blend combines rums made from two distinct cane varieties - yellow and purple - each contributing its unique flavor profile to the final product.
