Dead Reckoning Australia 9 years old Bourbon Cask Single Blended Rum 70 cl 55%

On the banks of the Albert River in Queensland, rum has been distilled since 1884 - this bottle shows what one of Australia's oldest distilleries can do when column and pot still work together.

Expert Description

Dead Reckoning Australia is a Single Blended Rum from Australia, 9 years old, aged on ex-bourbon American oak casks, bottled at 55%.

The rum represents a highlight of Australian rum history, distilled on the banks of the Albert River in Queensland - a site with a distilling tradition dating back to 1884. Inside the heritage-listed facility, the rum matures in the tropical climate on American oak following a combination of column and pot still distillation, which in turn follows a 48-72 hour fermentation period from locally produced molasses. The combination of the two distillation methods creates a complex base that the long tropical ageing builds upon.

Dead Reckoning is one of the rarer Australian rum brands to find its way to the Danish market, making this bottle an opportunity to taste a style most rum lovers have never encountered.
