Tipo Tinto (Mozambican Rum)

Mozambique

The red legend: Mozambique's Tipo Tinto — the famous (and famously rough) cane rum of the colonial era, named for its red-tinted bottles, the working spirit of Lourenço Marques/Maputo — with modern cane spirits and the 2M (Mac-Mahon) lager as the everyday glasses.

What it is

The red legend: Mozambique's Tipo Tinto — the famous (and famously rough) cane rum of the colonial era, named for its red-tinted bottles, the working spirit of Lourenço Marques/Maputo — with modern cane spirits and the 2M (Mac-Mahon) lager as the everyday glasses. Origins: sugar estates along the Zambezi and Incomati made rum through the Portuguese era; Tipo Tinto became folklore (the 'red type' that fuelled a thousand stories). Made from: sugarcane (molasses/juice), distillation; modern houses bottle cleaner rums. How it's made: 1) Ferment cane products. 2) Distil; the old Tipo Tinto was bottled young and bold. 3) Serve with peri-peri prawns at Maputo's beach bars (2M alongside). Served: across Mozambique, in measures respected by all who know it. Flavor: cane fire, historically raw. Strength: ~40%+. Culture: Tipo Tinto is Mozambique's liquid folklore — every family has a story, few of them tame. See also: Mauritius's rums (the ocean neighbours).
