Karu Distillery Outcask Wild Rum (70cl, 46%)

A dark rum from Karu Distillery in Australia's Blue Mountains. It is fermented for two weeks from NSW molasses and pot distilled in a copper pot still, then non-chill filtered. Barrels are decanted into resting vats and cut with mountain valley rainwater before further mature barrels are added, so each batch shares the same character. It can be sipped neat or used in tropical cocktails. The nose brings crisp green apple, mild banana, pineapple, candied brown sugar and a hint of creaminess. The palate follows with crème brûlée, sultana, honey, baked goods and crystallised sugar.
