Origin & Background

Crafted from molasses derived from Australian sugar cane, this rum was distilled using column still distillation, producing a clean yet flavourful spirit well suited for extended ageing. Initial maturation took place in Australia, followed by further ageing in ex-Bourbon casks in Scotland. This extended, balanced maturation has allowed the rum to develop remarkable smoothness while retaining complexity and structure.

Tasting Profile

• Nose: Elegant and composed, opening with vanilla, coconut, and honeyed oak, followed by notes of dried fruits, baked apple, toffee, and a hint of gentle spice.
• Palate: Smooth and well-rounded, revealing layers of caramel, soft tropical fruit, toasted oak, vanilla fudge, and subtle nutty notes, with excellent integration of alcohol and wood.
• Finish: Long, warming, and refined, with lingering notes of vanilla, light spice, oak sweetness, and a touch of cocoa bitterness.
