World’s first rum from Vanuatu to be released internationally
The ’83 Islands’ rum distillery in the Pacific Ocean nation of Vanuatu was established in 2019. The wash for distillation was fermented in five batches of between 7-11 days in late 2020, and then pot distilled. In January 2021 the rum was then placed in a single American virgin oak cask and 100% tropically aged in Vanuatu for 3.3 years. We invite you to learn more about this innovative distillery

83 Islands Distillery
Light with brown sugar and caramel
Oak, black cherry, molasses
Light burn, cola, cinnamon chips
Australia’s original independent rum bottler Dead Reckoning worked with 83 Islands to bottle this single cask molasses-based rum at 50%, and collaborated with the UK Rum Club and the Florida Rum Society to release the rums to their respective memberships, before the wider public. This is the first release of an 83 Islands rum outside Vanuatu – although 83 Islands are looking to export their own label bottlings in the near-future. We encourage you to learn more about the distillery via the web links below.
