RomDeLuxe Australia Handcraftet Rum Batch 1 Killik Distillery White Rum 50 cl 84%

Australia isn't the first country that comes to mind when the talk turns to rum. But RomDeLuxe found a tiny craft distillery down under, and the result is a white rum so powerful it practically leaps out of the glass.

Expert Description

RomDeLuxe Australia Handcraftet Rum Batch 1 is a White Rum from Australia, bottled unfiltered and unaged at a full 84%.

The rum is sourced from Killik Handcrafted Rum, a small Australian distillery, and brought to Denmark by RomDeLuxe, the Danish independent bottler that has specialised since 2016 in finding and bottling rums with a clear, immediate character rather than age or rarity. This Batch 1 is a so-called "new make", a rum that has been distilled but not cask aged, giving a pure glimpse into the distillate's raw power.

Fermentation is wild and uncontrolled, giving the rum an unusual richness of esters, the aromatic compounds that create fruity and floral notes. At 84%, this is a rum for those who want to meet the spirit completely unfiltered.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Intense and fermented with tropical fruit, banana and a sharp, alcoholic edge that underscores the wild fermentation.

Palate

Powerful and pure with cane juice, ester-rich fruitiness and a burning warmth that fills the whole mouth.

Finish

Long and intense, where the fruity esters linger long after the initial powerful heat has settled.
