Now this one is very close to home! About 17kms from where I used to live. I've tasted the very similar distillery bottling called Killik ‘Handcrafted Silver’ Overproof [59%]. And, yep, I got loads of Hubba Bubba Original bubble gum. It's a good drop and it's crazy cheap here in Aus: AUD$85 for 700mL. FYI: The Australian rum rules don't recognise the category of 'Unaged/White Rum', so the producers have to call it 'Spirit'. Cheers!
Cheers for the comment mate. It looks like the distillery are doing really good things and will be interesting to see some more releases with a bit more age. That bubble gum note is really unique...can't say I have ever had a rum with that sort of note. I found that note to be quite light on this particular release, so for me it blends together really nicely with all that sweet, estery fruit. Hopefully will get a chance to try out the Overproof at some point 🥃
@@whiskyjourney175 There's also a Tasmanian unaged one called New Norfolk ‘Drone Riot’ (60%). Tastes quite like New Yarmouth, if you ask me! A funky, husky drop.
@@hordeum-vulgare Sounds amazing mate. I just checked their website and they have a cool looking tasting set, "Rum Enthusiast", which includes a sample of the Drone Riot. Unfortunately only shipping available in Australia, as they can't ship worldwide ☹ I most definitely would have got that if I could just to try out their rums 🥃
