From Mauritius to Slovakia
The idea of bringing authentic Mauritian rum arose from a desire to share something exceptional. Something with soul, character, and sincerity.
MORIS trade today represents artisanal producers from Mauritius, bringing their craft to people who understand that rum is more than just alcohol – it is a ritual, a culture, and a memory of moments of tranquility.
1598
The Dutch were the first to begin settling the island, starting in 1598. From Indonesia, they brought sugarcane to Mauritius, along with other crops and animals.
It thrived exceptionally well here, mainly due to the tropical climate, warmth, and frequent rainfall. In addition to the climate, the volcanic soil where sugarcane grows also provided all the necessary nutrients.
The tradition of rum production in Mauritius spanned the entire historical spectrum during the periods of French colonization (1715 - 1810) and British colonization (1810 - 1968). The original drink of sailors and pirates eventually transformed into a spirit sought after by nobility and connoisseurs of fine beverages.
Despite Mauritius gaining independence in 1968, rum production did not cease, and to this day, several renowned producers of world-recognized rum have been preserved.

Every rum has its story. This is ours.
In the video, we reveal how the entire idea of moving to Mauritius came about, leading to the creation of MORIS Trade rums—from sugarcane to the moment you pause and taste.
How the desire for uniqueness gave birth to MORIS trade rums
It all began with a single journey.
In Mauritius, I first tasted a rum that didn't just have flavor – it had soul.
In Mauritius, I first tasted a rum that didn't just have flavor – it had soul.
It was different. Its aroma carried the scent of the earth, the sun, the cane, and the work of people who crafted it with passion and humility. It was then that I realized this was not just alcohol. It was something that deserved space, silence, and time. From that idea, MORIS trade was born. I wanted to bring people a rum with a story – honest, true, and authentic.
A rum that does not rush, because it knows that maturity comes only with time.
Every bottle you hold in your hands is proof of this journey. It is not merely a product. It is the result of tradition, craftsmanship, and respect for origin. And if you pause with it for a moment—this was precisely my goal.
