Killik Vanilla Bean Bottle

Killik Vanilla Bean

$69.00

Want a rummy cocktail base that hits all the Christmas fruity notes? With a big slug of vanilla built in? (Seriously โ€“ there is a whole vanilla pod in each bottle!) Well thanks to Killik weโ€™ve got just the thing to freshen up your summer cocktail list, or just add a bit of โ€˜that certain somethingโ€™ to your mixed-drink lineup for Chrissy – The Killik Vanilla Bean!

The Killik Vanilla Bean starts life as a lower ester version of their โ€˜Killik Silverโ€™ โ€“ pure cane spirit. The lowโ€“wines (the product of the first distillation) is steeped with fresh mangos for around 2 weeks before being re-distilled (with the soaked mango included in the still) to โ€˜vapour infuseโ€™ even more mango goodness into the final spirit. The resulting flavoured spirit is then bottled at a healthy 42% with a whole vanilla pod added to the bottle prior to capping.

Killik Vanilla Bean

Itโ€™s amazing how much this spirit reminds me of Weis Bars and Creaming Soda. It tastes like the Christmas Holidays of my long-gone youth, riding from dusk โ€˜till dawn on my BMX with the grand fortune of $2.50 jingling in my pockets. All those โ€˜peak-of-summerโ€™ flavours are here, and I can almost guarantee youโ€™ll have at least a fleeting glimpse of a childhood memory if you grew up in Oz.

Killik Vanilla Bean Bottle

Our Tasting Notes

Nose: Wow โ€“ I expected the big mango and vanilla aromas โ€“ but wasnโ€™t expecting the intense creamy notes that frog-march them either side. It smells sweet and sticky with a little funk that blends with the mango infusion perfectly.

Palate: Super thick and satisfying mouthfeel โ€“ this has real body! The flavours in this are best described as a cross between Weis Mango Bar and those really good American creaming sodas you sometimes find in convenience stores. Thereโ€™s a mild spicyness too that warms the palate after the initial fruity-flavour rush and melds into the finish.

Finish: The white-pepper notes gradually increase as the fruity creamy notes fade leaving a not-unpleasant tingle on the palate that just begs for another drop.

Look, I know this is probably meant for cocktails โ€“ and I canโ€™t wait to see what Rum Chick 1 makes with it. But Iโ€™ve got to say thereโ€™s a whole lotta nice here just sipping it on ice. Itโ€™s fruity, its creamy, itโ€™s sweet but not too much.

From Killik

Introducing Killik – Mango Vanilla Bean Cane Spirit – different to our normal ‘High Ester’ funky Rum, we have created a product which is incredibly versatile Rum, whether you’re looking for a ‘Spiced’ Rum replacement or something with a real flavour inside, then this is the product for you.

We use a much lower ester stock and soak on Mango’s for approximately 2 weeks (creating the creamy pallet) then just before we bottle, the vanilla bean pod is put into each bottle and then sealed.

This creates a well rounded product and perfect for simple summer drinks for everyone to enjoy.

Tasting Notes:

Distinct aromas and flavours of candy-like caramel popcorn, toffee, white chocolate and vanilla cream all on top of freshly cut mango – with a whole Vanilla Bean pod inside each bottle your Rum will continue to infuse as it gets older.

Don’t mind the floaties, it’s just the real vanilla pod flavour!

Mixing Suggestions:

– Spicy Ginger Beer and fresh lime
– Cloudy or Cold Pressed Apple Juice
– Excellent in a Hot Buttered Rum
– RUM BALLS!!
