Hoochery Distillery Ord River Single Barrel Cask Strength Rum (700ml)

Proprietor, Raymond (Spike) Dessert III has been going hard with his pot still since establishing Western Australia’s oldest continuously operating legal distillery. Built on his farm just outside of Kununurra in the heart of the beautiful Ord River Valley, it has the capacity to produce over 50,000 bottles a year.

Made from local sugar cane, wet season rainwater and pot distilled, this new single barrel release showcases just how seriously the operation is taking its rum.

Tasting note: [Tasted from a 20ml sample] Very deep copper / bronze. Enticing aromas of brown sugar, raisin cake, butter menthol lozenge and more, with the second pass richening further adding vanilla and hints of banana cake rounding off a great sniff. Huge yet balanced delivery features mocha, bitter-sweet toffee and baking spice followed by golden syrup, light banana confectionary and cocoa at the finish. Really intense. Heaps going on here. Great rum. 64.9% Alc./Vol.
