From That Boutique-y Rum Company comes a mysterious rum produced by an undisclosed distillery in Queensland, Australia. This exquisite spirit hails from Australia's oldest operating distillery, embodying a history rich with tradition. Crafted in 2007 using local Queensland molasses, it underwent a meticulous 12-day fermentation process and column distillation before being aged in American oak casks for ten years. The casks were then transported to the UK, where the rum was refilled into ex-bourbon barrels for an additional four years, culminating in a 14-year aging period. The bottle label features the S.S. Walrus, a historic ship that served as a floating sugar-mill in the 19th century, symbolizing the legacy of rum production in Australia. Bottled at a formidable 65.7% ABV, this limited edition release is one of only 420 bottles. Expect a vibrant nose, with aromas of squishy pear, pineapple sweets, coconut, and tropical cordial, balanced by a richer, well-integrated alcohol presence. On the palate, the rum offers a delightful fusion of tropical fruits and sweet confections, such as mango, butterscotch, dates, complemented by notes of milk chocolate, spice, and a slightly smoky undertone. The finish introduces hints of ginger, black pepper, black tea, and orange peel. Reviewers have rated this rum highly, with an overall score of 84 points, praising its complex amalgamation of fruity, spicy, and smoky elements, and its harmonious balance of sweetness, acidity, and oak influences. This rum is a testament to the potential of Australian rum production, making it a compelling choice for connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike.

Having sampled the That Boutique-y Rum Company Secret Distillery Batch No.8, I find it to be an exceptional testament to Australian rum craftsmanship.

Its high ABV is well-integrated, making each sip both powerful and enjoyable. This rum truly showcases the potential of Australian rum, and I highly recommend trying it if you're a rum enthusiast looking for something unique and limited.
