Dead Reckoning Australia 9 Year Bourbon Cask

£90.00

Produced at an Australian distillery under non-disclosure using 100% Australian-origin molasses, this rum was distilled on both pot and column stills. Initially aged tropically in ex-bourbon casks in North Queensland for 4 years then continentally aged in Amsterdam for a further 5 years. The rum was then returned to Australia and bottled by Australian Independent Bottler (IB), Dead Reckoning Rum.

Description

Dead Reckoning Rum is a pioneering and consistently well reviewed Australian IB, founded and owned by Justin Boseley, one of Australia’s leading importers and distributors of premium rums and spirits. Dead Reckoning sources fine rums from both Australia and around the world, to age, blend and finish in oak casks previously used by global and Australian distilleries for maturing wines and spirits.

Dead Reckoning Rum has pioneered ageing rums in a specific warehouse in South Australia where the natural evaporation of the rums in the casks – known as ‘Angels Share’ – results in the Alcohol-by-Volume (ABV) of the remaining rum increasing over time, rather than decreasing (like it normally does worldwide). Justin has termed this as ‘Australian Dry Ageing’. (This ‘Australian Dry Ageing’ was not applied to this rum, as it was in North Queensland and not South Australia for its 4 years of Australian ageing).

Rum enthusiasts the world over are looking forward to Dead Reckoning’s future bottlings that will bring incredible Australian Dry Aged rums to our glasses, noses and palates!
