Tipo Tinto

Takamaka Rum is a brand of rum that is distilled, aged and blended in the Seychelles, at the Trois Frères Distillery, on the main island of Mahé. [citation needed] The distillery has been operating since 2002, and was founded by the d’Offay brothers, Richard and Bernard d’Offay. It is the first and only commercial rum producer and exporter in Seychelles.[citation needed] Rum was first introduced to the Seychelles in the mid 16th century by the British Navy. Sugar cane cultivation on the islands began in the late 1800s and early 1900s, primarily to supplement the supply of sugar from infrequent visits from ships. As the delivery of sugar to the islands became more frequent, the use of sugar cane began to evolve - initially to making fermented cane juice known as 'Baka'.[citation needed] Residents also have a history of making their own rhum arrangé, a mixture of local rum and a blend of herbs and spices . This is traditionally served as a digestif (post-meal drink). [citation needed]
