The Last Light Cask Strength Pot Still Rum is a robust and flavourful expression from New Zealand, crafted with meticulous attention to detail. This rum is produced using a 100% pot still distillation process, which preserves the full-bodied characteristics and rich complexity that define this spirit. The rum is bottled straight from the solera, undiluted and unfiltered, at a potent 56% ABV, offering a pure and intense drinking experience.
Nose: The nose is deep and enticing, rich with the comforting aromas of home-baked goods—think carrot cake, maple syrup, and orange spice, all bound together with nutty notes of walnut and pecan. There’s a sophisticated layer of dusty mahogany that evokes the warmth and character of an old wood-paneled library.
Palate: On the palate, this rum is thick and viscous, enveloping the taste buds with a sweet embrace of brown sugar and pencil shavings, before the oak influence bursts through with a robust presence. The complexity continues to unfold with flavours of ginger, raisin, and festive spices that linger long after each sip.
Finish: The finish is long and warming, dominated by notes of raisin, Christmas cake, and a spicy ginger kick that leaves a memorable impression.
The Last Light Cask Strength Pot Still Rum is perfect for those who appreciate a bold and richly layered spirit. Its powerful flavour profile and high alcohol content make it ideal for sipping neat or with a splash of water to unlock even more of its intricate aromas and tastes.
