Archie Rose Distilling Co. Fancy Molasses Rum 2019 700ml

Archie Rose Distilling Co. was founded in 2014 and located in Sydney, Australia – just a few kilometres south of the city – Archie Rose Distilling Co. is Australia’s most highly awarded distillery. With conviction, they strive to re-define Australia’s rich tradition in distilling by producing a diverse range of whiskies, gins, vodkas and rums, as well as one-off collaborations, limited releases and spirits experiences.

As the tenth release in the Trials and Exceptions series Fancy Molasses Rum 2019 is made from sustainably sourced NSW high-test molasses and is one of three early explorations of the impact of raw material on rum character.

As an ingredient, fancy molasses is condensed from the pure juice of the sugar cane, and is the lightest and sweetest of the different types of molasses, thereby earning its place as the name of this new limited edition rum. Fancy molasses also became a favourite of the distilling team during initial rum trials and was eventually then used in the production of our White Cane Spirit, which saw the ingredient cold distilled using our innovative vacuum stills to best capture the delicate, delicious flavours of locally sourced sugarcane.

Mindfully distilled and matured in apera (sherry) casks, this release offers a complex finesse with flavours of gingerbread, sultana, apricot jam and creme anglaise best savoured through sips and undiluted by mixing.

A lifted nose of honey drizzled banana pancakes and apricot jam opens up into ginger snaps, lychee and rose blossom, lead to flavours of caramel fudge, rockmelon, sultanas and crème anglaise on the palate. The finish is long and complex with morello cherry and pecans.
