Litchquor – Newly defined classics

Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum is a brilliant tribute to the beauty of the island in the Indian Ocean with its multicultural population and their traditions. The production of rum from local sugarcane molasses has a long tradition in Mauritius, dating back to the year 1800. With ‘Gold of Mauritius’, master blender Frederic Bestel wants to express the richness of the island: the breathtaking landscape with distinctive mountain peaks, fertile valleys and beautiful beaches – and the smiles of the people who live there.

The Dark Rum is a blend of various single distillates from the island, refined in an elaborate process which then reaches its harmonious and aromatic flavour after maturing. Only small amounts are produced at one time, monitored personally by the owner. In the production phases, elements and experiences from various sources are employed: for example, the production process from Central America and the barrels from South Africa. This mixture of influences matches the cultural diversity which can be found in Mauritius. Since its entry onto the market in 2014, the ‘new classic of the world of rum’ has achieved wide recognition. Even its bottle reflects how extraordinary the product is: an unusually shaped, heavy glass carafe with elegant gold embossing. Gold of Mauritius Black 48 Edition is an intense version of the classic, with 48% alcohol.

At the World Spirits Award 2025, there was Silver for Heritage Selection Gold of Mauritius Black 48 Edition.

Guqi Whisky Distillery: World-class Chinese whiskies

The combination of Chinese tradition and Western craftsmanship is the basis for this whisky of the future. Inspiration comes from different cultures, resulting in a fusion of Chinese fermentation know-how, French distillation finesse and Scottish ageing wisdom. The focus is on China, using the Baijiu solid method to increase the concentration of aromatic compounds. Camus’ patented process achieves the highest concentration of aromatic substances. Scottish knowledge is based on the use of bourbon, cognac and Changbai Mountain Mongolian oak casks. The icing on the cake is a Chinese herbal essence based on traditional medicinal herbs and medical wisdom.

The Guqi Whisky Distillery is a joint venture between the Gujinggong Group and the Camus Group. The huge facility in Bozhou comprises production, research, customer experience and sales. The distillery combines elements from the region, known for its spirits and traditional herbs, with distillation techniques associated with cognac and maturation in Scotch whisky. The production integrates tradition and modern technology: three-stage mashing with variable temperatures to optimise extraction of fermentable sugars from the grain, 168-hour fermentation for slow interaction between yeast and wort, and pot still distillation to separate and refine alcohol and the essence of the herbs. The grand finale is double distillation in small batches with selection of the head components: for the ‘LIGHT’ style, the best foreshots and the fruitiest and freshest components; for the ‘RICH’ style, the best foreshots and the richest, spiciest and most floral essences.

The two new makes, Light Single Malt and Rich Single Malt, received Silver at the World Spirits Award.
