Rumolution Rum

Mised out on Rumolution with Island Coast Spirits in Brisbane.  Then never fear.

So, what’s in the bottle? An international blend of rums designed to give the drinker an ‘around the world of rum’ experience. Three distinct regions, with distinct styles and terroirs combining a mix of oaks and barrel types, pot and column still rums from Australia, Barbados and the South Pacific!

Australia: An extremely well-travelled and worldly 9yo Aussie component from Beenleigh pot & column still molasses-based rum. Initially created at the legendary Beenleigh Distillery (a blend of pot and column still) and tropically aged on-site for 4 years in ex-bourbon casks. It was then sold to a ‘European rum buyer’ (cough E.A. Shear) and sat in a bond-store in Amsterdam for 5 more years of continental ageing.

South Pacific: A ten-year-old, muscat cask, 100% tropically aged, single blended pot and column still rum from the legendary South Pacific Distillery in Fiji.

Barbados: The Caribbean component of this rum is a funky Foursquare single cask, triple–matured, pure rum, no less than Ten years old. His cask held a mix of Foursquare pot and column distilled spirit – tropically matured in Barbados for 8 years in ex-bourbon then transported to Adelaide for ‘the Boseley treatment’. This consisted of 2 years in a 60-year-old Seppeltsfield Winery ex-Tawny.

The end result is a blend that gives a collective nod to the major rum flavours in the world. Caramels and liquorice, big fruits and some sweet, sweet Caribbean funk alongside the vanilla, biscuit spices, peppery notes and citrus influences from the different oaks.
