Transcontinental Rum Line Australia 2014 7 Year Old Rum

Distilled in Queensland, it spends its first five years basking in the Australian sunshine, maturing in American oak casks that lend depth and character. Then, it embarks on a journey to Europe for a further two years of refinement in ex-Cognac casks. The aroma is a warm invitation, filled with the inviting scents of baking spices, oak, and cinnamon. Hints of dried apricots, raisins, and sultanas add a touch of sweetness. On the palate, a symphony of flavours unfolds, with crisp apple and mandarin notes mingling with garden herbs like sage. Delicate touches of cherry, liquorice, vanilla, and even rose petals create a complex and intriguing experience. The finish is long and lingering, leaving you wanting more.
