Product description
This 17-year-old rum comes from Australia's oldest licensed rum distillery on the Queensland coast. After an initial distillation on column stills, a further distillation follows in a copper pot still. After ten years of maturation in American oak barrels in Australia, it was matured for a further seven years in second-fill bourbon barrels in the UK. The handcrafted production is reflected in the taste. The long fermentation with a specially developed yeast variety enhances the aromas of ripe banana and other fruits, while the subsequent distillation in the Pot Still gives an oily mouthfeel with notes of eucalyptus, mint, blackberry jam and sultanas. In the 21st century, Australia is internationally recognised above all for its wines, having been considered the land of lager at the end of the 20th century. In fact, rum is the drink of choice in colonial Australia due to British naval influence, as the spirit was used as a currency at the end of the 18th century. For most of the 19th century, rum was imported or distilled illegally until the first licence was granted to Beenleigh Artisan Distillers in 1884.
