That Boutiquey Rum Co - Secret Distillery #8 14 YO Rum Batch 1 500ml

"Now we might not be able to display the producers name on our Secret Distillery #8 bottling, but we might say that it was produced at Australia’s oldest operating distillery. We can also say it's not Bundaberg…

This fabulous long-aged Rum was produced from Queensland molasses, fermented for twelve days using the distillery's proprietary yeast. Then the wine was then ‘stripped’ using a continuous column still, and then further distilled via a spirit run in their 15,000 litre Copper Vat Still (in August 2007). It was entered into American Oak Vats & Casks in Australia in September 2007 and aged for ten years. Finally the Rum was transported to the UK at the end of 2017 and refilled into a Once Used ex-Bourbon cask. It’s an absolute cracker of a Rum and well worth seeking out.

NOSE: Complex and engaging. Green pineapple, crisp white pear, and lemon oils. Cane sugar sweet, fresh coconut, runs up against burnt rubber, a little cocoa powder, and gentle liquorice. A delicate floral note of jasmine intertwines.

PALATE: Sweet onto the palate, lovely fresh mango and green pineapple. Butterscotch and dark chocolate. Dates and raisins. A touch of burnt rubber.

FINISH: A lovely balanced grip lingers nicely. A soft touch of ginger, with a smoky, burnt rubber note. Black pepper, black tea, and a lovely zesty orange note." -That Boutique-y Whisky Company
