    Bundaberg Master Distiller's Collection Small Batch Silver Reserve Rum (700ml)
    Bundaberg, Queensland, AUSTRALIA
    $69. 99
    Bottle
    $839.88 Dozen
    ABV: 40%

    This is Bundy's foray into the large white rum category. Crafted by blending white rum with the smoothest aged reserves and matured for four years in first-fill American oak bourbon barrels, it's then charcoal filtered for a smooth & clean finish. Reportedly it has a subtle Bundy taste which makes it something you can drink straight. And while not at the standard of some of the tastier Caribbean rums, it works well as a mixer. Try it in your next Mojito. 40% Alc./Vol.

    Notes from the producers... Palate: Perfect balance of tropical fruit flavour & spice. Finish: Finishes with hints of vanilla and oak.

    Using the ingenuity that Aussies are famous for, the Bundaberg distilling team have created an incredibly smooth rum, using a unique red gum filtration process. The rum goes through a similar double distillation and aging process as standard Bundy UP, but then goes through three separate filtration processes which create an incredibly smooth profile. This process removes some of the stronger flavour compounds which exist in the regular Bundaberg UP, and allows some of the more subtle flavours to shine through.

    Historical notes: Bundy Select Vat is finally here but was it worth the wait? According to the June 22nd post of the NewsMail, the answer is a resounding "YES!"

    "Jason Tomkins spent 11 days camping outside the Bundy Rum Bondstore. And the wait paid off on Saturday, when he became the first person to lay his hands on the Bundaberg Distilling Company's latest special editions release, the Bundaberg Original Select Vat Rum."

    "I turned up on (June 13) and I camped there the whole time," Mr Tomkins said. "I've done it a few times. Last year I camped out for three weeks."

    Hundreds of people gathered for the launch of the four-year-old rum.

    Bundaberg Distilling Company Bondstore manager Haydn Jobson said the unveiling was exciting for the distillery. "Utilising the Distillery's 120 years of rum making expertise, our master craftsman searched through two-year-old original rum reserves and hand selected those that exhibited the right qualities and characteristics," he said. "These premium rum reserves were then double aged for a total of four years in oak vats to produce this product."

    Bundaberg rum has been an integral part of Australia’s heritage since 1888, born out of the canefields of Queensland. In 1907 a disastrous fire ravaged the Bundaberg Distillery. Despite courageous efforts local fire fighters were unable to prevent extensive damage. The origin of the fire remains a mystery. One hundred and one years later, Bundaberg 101 has been released to commemorate the event - a rich dark rum with a hint of smoke. Many collectors consider this one of the most visually impressive box and bottle designs produced by Bundy to date. 40% Alc./Vol.

    1988 Cadenheads Green Label GMWE 20 Year Old Grenada Rum (700ml)
    GRENADA
    $240. 00
    Bottle
    $2880.00 Dozen
    ABV: 46%

    312 bottles of this venerable column distilled rum are on offer from Cadenheads, and that's about all that's known. We believe there are only four distilleries on Grenada: Renegade (the new kid on the block since 2021), Westerhall, Rivers Antoine and Clarke’s Court, the last of which was formed in 1937, operating under the umbrella of the Grenada Sugar Factory (the largest on the island), however that doesn't help to narrow it down by much. Cadenhead's notes suggest a decadent experience including flavours of “toffee, peaches in syrup, apricots, white chocolate with cashew nuts, bananas and peppercorns.” Sounds a bit like a very old single grain whisky... 46% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

    1990 Cadenhead's MEV Enmore Distillery 26 Year Old Cask Strength Guyanese Rum (700ml)
    GUYANA
    $370. 00
    Bottle
    $4440.00 Dozen
    ABV: 57.2%
    An indie release that rum purists will be pleased to get their hands on is this exceptionally old Enmore. Distilled in 1990 and bottled in 2017 as part of Cadenhead’s 175th Anniversary celebrations, it was limited to one bottle per customer at Cadenhead's stores in the UK, so as you'd expect, there's very little to go around for Australian rum lovers. As an original distillery bottling it's quite collectable.

    The 'MEV' marque stands for 'Main Enmore Versailles'. According to one source, "Many of the 1990 Enmores wear this mark, which suggests that the Main Rum Company probably imported or bought a lot of rum at that time." As the marque suggests, this was distilled using the Versailles Single Wooden Pot Still, located at the Enmore Distillery at the time of distillation in 1990 (the still was moved to the Uitvlugt Distillery in 1995 and subsequently to the Diamond Distillery in 1999). The rum was shipped to Europe for maturation by Cadenheads. Very limited stocks. 57.2% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

    1975 Cadenhead's Green Label Demerara Rum (700ml)
    GUYANA
    $499. 00
    Bottle
    $5988.00 Dozen
    ABV: 38.5%

    The firm of William Cadenhead Ltd, Wine and Spirit Merchants, was founded in 1842 and is Scotland's oldest independent bottler. The company was in the ownership of the same family until taken over by J & A Mitchell & Co.Ltd in 1972, the proprietors of Springbank distillery. Today, Cadenhead is probably the only Company in the world that holds extensive stocks of old matured-in-oak Demerara Rum (though they're also legendary for bottling excellent single cask, cask-strength, non-chill-filtered whiskies). The company places particular emphasis on the individuality of each bottling and bottle only a single cask of Rum at one time.

    Guyana is justly famous for its rich, heavy Demerara Rums, named for a local river, which are produced from both pot and column stills. Demerara Rums can be aged for extended periods (25-year-old varieties are on the market) and are frequently used for blending with lighter Rums from other regions. Cadenhead's Green Label Demerara has been bottled from a specially selected individual cask distilled in 1975. In order to maximise flavour, the rum has not been treated, with the exception of the addition of water added to bring the spirit to a standard strength.

    Tasting note: Those who spend less than a few minutes nosing this spirit are missing the point (and probably wasting their money). It demands contemplation and will continue unfolding for at least ten minutes, during which the aftertaste will rebound several times with surprising intensity. Try to think of every rum you've ever tasted combined into one. Both aromatically and in the mouth it offers a typically massive Demerara experience with huge off-dry flavours of liquorice, roast nut, coffee, brown sugar, dried banana, leather and spice followed by an exceptionally long, drying aftertaste. Other than a pleasantly spicy, delicate warmth the spirit is almost indiscernible, while the length, texture, balance and mouth feel are impeccable. Unquestionably it is one of the world's great rums but begs the question: What else have Cadenhead's got to show that we don't know about? 40.3%

    2000 Cadenhead's JMLR Hampden Distillery 8 Year Old Cask Strength Rum (700ml)
    JAMAICA
    $145. 00
    Bottle
    $1740.00 Dozen
    ABV: 63.2%

    An intriguing rum from a now closed distillery. Picture indicative only.

    Tasting note: Very pale straw colour with flashes of gold. A three phase bouquet exudes a gentle nose prickle; first pass issuing notes of vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon, becoming riper and more estery with aeration as banana confectionary / fried banana in the second pass. After five minutes, the third phase becomes heavier offering a liquorice strap top note emerging over scents of golden syrup and molasses. Wonderful aromatic complexity. The entry is deceptively light, soft and sweet, then explodes with a bitter/sweet wave of spices that contribute to the slightly prickly and hot mouth feel, however the overall balance is remarkable at this high ABV. There is a flash of burnt sugar (or is it sulphur?) though it remains slight. Spices subside towards the finish which is momentarily sweet as flavours of brown sugar and fried banana return. Concludes exceptionally long and dry with the molasses persisting. Wow! A massive rum experience. 63.2%

    Cadenheads Green Label 18 Year Old Trinidad Rum (700ml)
    TRINIDAD
    $220. 00
    Bottle
    $2640.00 Dozen
    ABV: 46%

    Cadenhead's Green Label series are usually single-country blends, sometimes mashed together from multiple distilleries (or stills, or both), mostly from around the Caribbean and Central/South America. The labels offer less detail than the cask strength “Dated Distillation” bottlings, hence, the exact source of this rum remains undisclosed. One can only guess based on the taste as there are three distilleries on the island: Angostura, Fernandes and Trinidad Distillers. This is noteworthy for carrying a significant age statement. 672 bottles produced. 46% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.

    Notes from the bottlers... “Fresh and floral with minty notes and a constant sweetness. An interesting and characterful rum that kept the panel wanting more.  Mango, herbal, mint leaves, bay leaves. Floral, peppermint, raw Manuka honey”.

    Another single cask release from Cadenheads, this time a blend of pot and column still rums, with the official notes reading, "Some soft red fruits and cream along with cinnamon, star anise and then apple skins, paprika and danish pastries." This batch was a run of 312 bottles at 46% Alc./Vol.
    1993 Cadenheads MPM Uitvlugt Distillery Single Cask 25 Year Old Cask Strength Guyana Rum (700ml)
    GUYANA
    $499. 00
    Bottle
    $5988.00 Dozen
    ABV: 49.9%

    'ICBU' was the marque used to identify rums from the Dutch owned Uitvulgt Distillery. While Uitvlugt continues to operate as a sugar refinery and producer of molasses, the equipment used for rum production reportedly ceased operation in 2000 and was moved to the El Dorado Distillery. Not surprisingly, Uitvulgt's have become quite collectible.

    In this instance, the “MPM” moniker appears to be a Cadenhead convention, and probably stands for "Main Port Mourant" or some similar variation – conveying that the rum is from an Uitvlugt pot still. Cadenhead's release is from a single barrel, filled in October 1993, matured in Campbeltown, Scotland and emptied in early 2019 with an outturn of 204 bottles. It's a non chill filtered / all natural rum.

    Notes from the bottlers... Nose: Grassy; haylofts and very oily. Hints of varnish, raisins, dried orange peel and marzipan. Palate: big rum, some ginger powder, kiwi fruits, brown bread toast with salted butter. Lychee, popping candy and lemon juice. Finish: Faint tropical fruits give way to more grassy, herbal notes. 49.9% Alc./Vol.

    Bottle
    $1800.00 Dozen
    ABV: 46%

    Tasting note: You might think Cadenhead's experience in the rum trade is fairly recent, but they've actually been bottling rums almost as long as whisky - since the early 1900s when they were based in their original location in Aberdeen. They continue to source rums from around the world, gathering them in Campbeltown to be further matured. This one's from an undisclosed Australian distillery. It presents a soft nose of dried apricots and figs plus hints of raw sugar and allspice and is well balanced with flavours of dark chocolate and dates, followed by a brief surge of fairy-floss-vanilla sweetness. The aftertaste suggests dried mango, light molasses and lingers with low-key spices. Kind of similar to a young, fruity cognac. Our bet is it's Beenleigh rather than Bundy. 46% Alc./vol. Non chill filtered.

    Notes from Cadenhead's... Nose: Apricots, cinnamon, freshly baked gingerbread. Flavour: Praline, dried figs, chocolate orange. Finish: Nectarines, hoisin sauce, cured ham.

    ABV: 46%
    Given that Cadenhead's big celebration was in 2017, this is a fairly late 175th Anniversary release to arrive in Australia. Official notes describe "a rum full and loaded with green banana, cooked bean sprouts; enveloping richness, with dried apricots in the foreground." In short - full bodied and fruity. Comes packaged with a commemorative medallion hang tag. Non chill filtered. 46% Alc./Vol.

    Bottle
    $1680.00 Dozen
    ABV: 63%
    Great to see high proof white rums making there way to our shores. Those from the island of Jamaica are considered the "Queens of funk", a title earned for their high ester count that can yield aromas and flavours of pineapple, overripe banana and stone fruits. Just 102 bottles of this non chill filtered Cadenhead's beauty have been released. Its plush green and canary yellow packaging evokes tropical rum punches and Tiki cocktails. Because it's so powerful, mixologists liken its use to salt in cooking. Says one: "Sometimes you need a little salt; it makes everything better. I’ll often add a quarter-ounce or a few dashes of overproof white rum to cocktails that need a little oomph.” Very limited stocks.

    Notes from Cadenheads... Nose: Sweet, honey roasted peanuts, melon, candied ginger, fennel, rosemary and faint cherry cough medicine. Flavour: More ginger spice with caramel, apple struddle. Pistachio nuts, clotted cream and soft spearmint with warming spice. Finish: Very herbal with lingering soft spice, black pepper, star anise, corriander and fennel before becoming more fruit - satsumas and grapeskins.

Carribbean Class.

Besides whisky - possibly the only other wood-aged spirit capable of arousing the same passions comes from ‘the reed which brings forth honey’ (without the help of bees)– mainly because it’s capable of a similar dizzying complexity and diversity that whisky achieves. Rums are as diverse as whiskies, and much depends on how the distiller and blender create their product. Rum is also thought to be the world's oldest spirit with its cultural heritage centered in the Caribbean and its history inextricably intertwined with colonialism, slavery and the creation of capitalism. If you haven't been inspired to try the aged rums of the Caribbean then you’ve got a lot to look forward to. This applies not only to those who’ve never moved beyond Bundaberg and Coke since high school, but more so to those who are serious about wine, whisky and brandy - in short, those of us who are passionate about ‘flavour’. The Biggest Selection of Rums online in Australia. Quality Caribbean rum has as many permutations of aromas, tastes, textures and strengths as any group of wines or spirits. We now have access to many small and large producers who are vying for attention and the very reasonable prices mean rum is not just a passing fad. Aside from the familiar Caribbean island groups, more and more people are becoming aware of a ‘mainland’ rum tradition. Think Nicaragua, Gautemala, Panama or Venezuela. Then there's the rare Rum Agricoles, as well as emerging Australian Rum producers too! Buy Rum online and get it shipped to your door. You can probably tell we're a little 'rum mad'.
