750 ml bottle – 40% alc/vol

Every now and then, cleaning can actually be a rewarding experience. On this occasion, we found 150 bottles of our 2015 charcoal filtered batch of Premium Ord River Rum. Crikey! This wasn’t just an old batch sleeping away, but this was a particularly special batch. Spike thought it tasted so good out of the barrel that he just decided to charcoal filter this one. Something we’ve previously only ever done on our highly awarded Ord River Rum Overproof.

Charcoal-filtered spirits are common in some industries, such as the production of Tennessee Whiskey, but not so common in other industries like in rum production. It cleans things up, takes out some of the impurities, lightens the colour, and makes things just a little bit smoother on the palate. Spike just felt like doing things a bit different. Rum made his way. He’d always intended to give it away to mates but never got around to it.

Re-corked and rewaxed but kept in the old green bottles with the old labels. We’re ready to let this one into the wild now. We’ve only got 168 bottles of this one. Once it’s gone, it’s gone forever.
