Select series rums are a selection of our most exceptional pot distillations of pure sugarcane juice rum. This rum has been aged for more than 1 year in French oak casks which previously held Cape red wine. We refurbish and re-toast these casks at the Mhoba rum distillery before filling them with our rum.

Description

Nose : The nose displays a lot of control for a 65% spirit. The oak is well integrated into the spirit. A perfumed and fragrant effect from the French oak. A perfect balance of spiced notes from the barrel and classic, grassy sugarcane notes. Reminiscent of some truly wonderful aged agricoles. Bright acidic fruit, crisp apples. Growing tropical fruit….ripe mango. Guava jam. The oak is ever present but never overly dominant. Warming and spicy. Pencil shavings. Hints of red grapes and tart cranberries.
Palate : Well balanced entry. Initially sweet, intensely so with a touch of powdered sugar and tropical fruit leathers. The freshness of the cane shines through. Intense moisture sapping dryness and huge amounts of grip on the mid palate from the French oak. There’s also a mineral quality. It remains soft though and never aggressive. Well balanced spice notes from the oak bounce off the vibrancy of the spirit to provide a fulfilling experience.
Overall : The exceedingly long and intense finish sees sugarcane and tropical fruit mix with a huge oaken influence laden with spice, barrel char and wet cardboard. Cranberry juice and succulent, crisp apples. A well balanced, fulfilling experience that will surprise a lot of people. Well crafted well executed rum.
