Country: AUSTRALIA

Style: Blended

Price per bottle:

Peter

Nose: Packed full of dark, sticky gingerbread cake, just like I used to love when I visited my uncle and aunties as a child.

Palate: A cup of sweet black coffee onto the palate. Red summer fruits, and a gentle bitterness.

Finish: A short burst of spice fades quickly into a tight grip of oak.

Comments: This really is an engaging rum with lots and lots upfront. The finish isn’t as lasting as it could be, but the rum really drinks well. Yes, please!

David

Nose: Plump, fruity notes on the nose: mango, papaya, and raspberry. Vanilla oak towards the end, with a restrained creaminess.

Palate: A fresh, lively palate full of plump grape and raisin, with a ripple of Christmas spice and cherry, too.

Finish: Lingering vine fruit and some toasted sugar. A spirit that is partrum, part-Cognac.

Comments: A pleasant and exceptionally sippable spirit that is refined and would be best reserved to enjoy neat or even on the rocks.
