Mater Italian Yellow Cane Rum celebrates the revival of Sicily's sugarcane heritage, a crop once flourishing across the island's diverse terroirs. Sourced from one of the first two cane varieties reintroduced by the Mater team, this rum embodies their commitment to natural cultivation and traditional methods. The 2024 harvest is meticulously crafted through slow, balanced fermentation and single pot distillation, preserving its vivid and complex flavors. Bottled at its natural strength of 52.8% ABV, it delivers an unfiltered expression of its Sicilian roots.
The nose is an enchanting medley of aromas, blending fruity olive oil with coconut shells, banana leaf, and a burst of fresh, green herbs. On the palate, it reveals a soft, voluptuous texture with flavors of sun-kissed citrus, buttery salted caramel, and a finish marked by lingering minerality. Each sip reflects the harmony between Sicily’s fertile land and the artisan methods that bring this spirit to life.
Mater Italian Yellow Cane Rum is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to enhance its nuanced flavors. Its high proof and natural complexity make it ideal for contemplative sipping, offering a sensory journey that captures the essence of Sicily in every glass.
