This botanical rum is distilled from scratch on a copper pot still, with vapour infusion of botanicals during the distillation process adding depth and character. Bottled at 40% ABV, it reflects the craft distilling movement thriving in New Zealand, where local distillers are pushing boundaries with innovative techniques and carefully selected ingredients.

Nose: Bright and aromatic with lifted citrus notes, particularly lime, alongside cardamom and cacao nip aromatics. Floral top notes weave through the profile, adding elegance and complexity to the initial impression.

Palate: Light citrus frames a host of distinctive herbs and spices, with gentle warmth building across the palate. Subtle nutty and roasted qualities provide structure, while a slight bitterness balances the natural sweetness of the spirit and adds depth.

Finish: Clean and warming with lingering herbal notes and a gentle heat that showcases the botanical complexity without overwhelming the senses.

This botanical rum shines in classic rum cocktails where its complexity can be appreciated, particularly in daiquiris, mojitos, or a simple highball with tonic. It also holds its own served neat or over ice, allowing the layered botanicals to unfold gradually.

Perfect for home bartenders looking to elevate their cocktail repertoire with a locally crafted spirit that offers genuine point of difference. The botanical infusion makes it particularly appealing for those who enjoy gin but want to explore the rum category with a New Zealand craft perspective.

A thoughtful gift for spirits enthusiasts who appreciate small-batch production and innovative approaches to traditional categories.
