Best rum in the world under 5 years at the World Rum Awards 2019 and best pot stilled rum under 5 years at the World Rum Awards 2020. This multi-award-winning dark rum produced at Mt Uncle Distillery is fermented using locally sourced sugarcane syrup. It is aged for 5 years in ex-red wine hogshead barrels. Rich and smooth tasting, this rum will leave toffee apple on the palate and a long lingering caramel finish.

Tasting Notes
Heavy and thick, treacle brims off the nose of the rum. Slight spices of cinnamon, brimming with a burnt aroma and a green freshness of crushed sugarcane. Nose opens over time with a minty display covering in caramel fudge tones, the sugarcane laden and brushed with honey. On the palate it is as oily and thick as can be expected from the nose. Trails of sugarcane and spices settle through, the vanilla and caramel fudge flavours interspersed with green herbs.

What a pity you cannot buy it in the bottle shops, if we wouldn't have gone to Mt Mulligan, we wouldn't have learnt about this nice rum. Please get it to Dan Murphy, so we can buy it readily in Victoria
Excellent. I have had it before, a great product from N Queensland
One of the best rums I've found
