Lazy Dodo Rum, produced in Pamplemousses, Mauritius, East Africa, is made from sugarcane and aged for at least 12 years in French oak barrels. It is bottled at 80 proof.
I consider it a pretty good day-to-day sort of rum, well made and reasonably complex, if lacking anything that specifically screams “Mauritius” about it.
I am glad I had the opportunity to taste the rum just so I could tell persons in my tasting group that I have tasted a Lazy Dodo. There is unfortunately not much else that is positive about this experience. Lazy Dodo Single Estate Rum is not a bad rum by any means, but it is not a good rum either. All the potential is there, but whatever it is that is causing that odd bitterness to rum through the dram should be eliminated.
