Awards/Reviews:
96 Points - Intl Wine & Spirits Competition 2023
"A woody nose with chocolate, toffee and cooking spices all coming through distinctly. The palate is very juicy and sweet, with the pleasing flavours of fig rolls and caramel slices. A particularly enjoyable sipping rum."

"This dry rum has a soft amber color and an enticingly warm caramel fragrance. On the tongue, it has a soft feel, with crème brûlée and banana flavors, braced up with lightly tannic black-tea notes and a baking spice finish. While a versatile choice for all manner of cocktails, the spice profile seems a natural for enlivening warm winter toddies."
