90 THE NAVIGATOR | FEATURE In what is something of a landmark for the world of premium spirits, Navigate World Whisky this year adds two more Mauritian rum distilleries to its portfolio, making it the first spirits distributor to offer an exclusive single cask release selected directly from all six of the island’s rum distilleries. “We have gone to great lengths, and serious depth, to select the very best barrelled rum on the island,” explains Alex de Ujfalussy, founder of Navigate World Whisky (NWW). “We’re incredibly proud to now be the first to have released a single cask selection from all six distilleries on Ile Maurice, personally selected directly at the distillery, not simply sourced via rum traders.” While previous editions of The Navigator shone the spotlight on Penny Blue, New Grove, La Distillerie de Labourdonnais and Rhumerie de Chamarel, in 2024 it is the turn of Saunt Aubin, one of the island’s historic estates, alongside Oxenham, a relatively new island distillery, to join the NWW portfolio.
