Australian rum, quality and uniqueness
Australian rum is a category little known internationally, but with a centuries-old tradition and a growing reputation for its quality and uniqueness.
Characteristics:
It is usually made from molasses, following the British tradition, and is distilled and aged in different regions of the country, especially in Queensland, where the warm climate favors rapid maturation and development of intense flavors.
Flavor profiles vary according to the producer, but fruity, spicy notes are usually found, and a marked presence of wood and vanilla due to aging in bourbon or French oak barrels.
It can be enjoyed neat, in cocktails or blended, and there are both robust and balanced, fruity versions.
Australian rum offers an interesting range of styles and profiles, from robust and fruity versions to highly complex limited editions. International collaborations have highlighted the quality and potential of this Australian distillate.
