Crafted in New Zealand with a focus on purity and balance, Black Collar Rum is distilled and aged to extract rich flavours from toasted oak. The higher proof amplifies both the aromatic complexity and the ability to stand up to mixers without losing character.

Nose: Warm vanilla and caramel greet you first, followed by ripe pear and a hint of smoky char from the oak treatment.

Palate: Bold butterscotch sweetness bursts forward, layered with cinnamon and clove spice, all underpinned by toasted wood nuances that add depth and texture.

Finish: The elevated alcohol content delivers a warming, lingering close with gentle spice and charred oak echoes.

Serve Black Collar Rum neat to appreciate its full complexity, over ice for a mellower experience, or as the backbone of classic rum cocktails like Dark ‘n’ Stormy or rum old fashioneds where its robust profile shines. The higher ABV ensures it won’t be drowned out by mixers, making it a favourite among home bartenders seeking flavour impact.

Perfect for rum enthusiasts exploring New Zealand craft spirits, cocktail creators wanting a bold mixing base, or as a distinctive gift for those who appreciate locally made, high-proof expressions with personality.
