Secret Distillery #8 14 Year Old Batch 1 That Boutique-y Rum Company

From That Boutique-y Rum Company, comes this mysterious rum made by an secret distillery in Queensland, Australia. A hint is that the traditional rum was produced at Australia’s oldest operating distillery. The liquid was made using local Queensland molasses, and aged in American oak casks for ten years. The casks were then transported to the UK, and refilled into ex-Bourbon casks for a further four years. The label shows the S.S Walrus, a ship used as a floating sugar-mill in the 19th century which began the rum-making operation in Australia. Bottled at a massive 65.7% abv.

Expect aromas of pineapple and pear, mixed with coconut and liquourice, leading to a sweet palate of mango, butterscotch, dates and a touch of burnt rubber. The finish adds a hint of ginger, with black pepper, black tea and orange peel.
