Pink Pigeon Rum

A few weeks ago the nice people at PaddingtonStationPR sent me a bottle of Pink Pigeon premium rum. I invited a few friends over to open the bottle with me and in the end, the common consensus was of approval. The rum is very sweet and the taste of vanilla & spices dominate this premium rum. While rum connoisseurs  might have a problem with this, Pink Pigeon is following the trends aiming to take the night-life by storm and is encouraging bartenders to experiment  in creating amazing cocktails. It works really well for me, – it’s a bottle of sweet vanilla goodness and I want more!

Pink Pigeon Rum

Offering a fresh new take on the conventions of cocktail creation and bringing a tantalizing taste of the tropics to any cocktail party is The Pink Pigeon, a premium vanilla infused rum hand-crafted on the Medine Sugar Estate on the tropical island of Mauritius.

Inspiring bartenders, cocktail connoisseurs and even novice mixologists with its complex yet smooth flavours, The Pink Pigeon ‘rules the roost’ when it comes to creating killer cocktails. Incredibly versatile and easy to drink, this spirit is distilled with the purest of rum and the addition of the world’s finest natural vanilla. Made from only the best ingredients, fresh orange peel gives Pink Pigeon it’s zingy edge, while delicate orchid petals release floral, honey notes.

Pink Pigeon Rum is the embodiment of all that is good from our tropical paradise – Alain Chatelm, Master Blender at Medine Estate.

As a ‘mould breaking’ rum deserving of worldly regard, The Pink Pigeon’s story is as enticing as the brand itself; named after a stunning pink pigeon only found on the magical isle of Mauritius that, once endangered, now flourishes again in the island’s lush fauna. Combine the smoothness and versatility of this remarkable spirit with a provocative brand story and packaging design reflecting the rum’s aspirational positioning (a hallmark of the work of the iconic American designer Ed Hardy), and this premium rum is undoubtedly one of the most enticing spirits ever to land on SA shores.

The Pink Pigeon Premium Vanilla Rum is available at select premium liquor distributors as well as nightlife hotspots nationwide.
