Red Mill Rum Gold Rum Bottle

Red Mill Rum Gold Rum

$119.00

A famous 1930โ€™s rum Brand resurrected and reimagined by no less than the great-grandson of the original distiller and EXCLUSIVE to the Tribe โ€“ The Red Mill Rum Gold Rum!

Now what do you get if you take a 6thย generation spirit wholesaler AND great grandson of the producer of Sydneyโ€™s favourite rum brand of the 1930โ€™s through to 1970โ€™s โ€“ then team him up with a legend in high-end spirit sales in Australia, the former Australian brand ambassador for Moet-Hennessy? Well, you getย Red Mill Rumย is what you get!

This first batch of Red Mill Gold Rumย is a marriage of 5 types of cask โ€“ White Bordeaux, Aussie Pinot Noir, Oloroso and Mistelle Sherry and Cognac.ย Married and slowly diluted to 42%abv in an inert vat, it was then rested in an ex-bourbon cask for a month before bottling.

This is a rum unlike any Iโ€™ve tried before. Itโ€™s definitely not your classic caramel and liquorice forward Aussie Style. Itโ€™s light on the palate, but by no means insipid. Fruity without being too sweet or funky. Bold flavours โ€“ but not overbearing. ย Floral, but not over the top. The wine cask maturation definitely has a noticeable hand in this. Iโ€™ve only tried it straight up so far โ€“ but Iโ€™m betting this will have a huge contribution to make to the cocktail scene with itโ€™s rather unique flavour profile.

    Red Mill Rum Gold Rum

    David Fesq and Garth Foster are the two brains behind this relative newcomer to the Aussie rum scene. And theyโ€™re not content to do it the โ€˜usual wayโ€™โ€™. Their vision is of a rum with a lighter, more floral flavour profile and they have certainly achieved this in spades!

    Now, whilst they have re-used the โ€˜Red Mill Rumโ€™ brand (and letโ€™s face it โ€“ who wouldnโ€™t if their family โ€˜owned itโ€™ all those years ago) โ€“ they have never set out to recreate Red Mill exactly the same as it was.ย  Theirs is a new, re-imagining of the family brand. Unlike the original โ€“ itโ€™s not being contract-distilled by the local CSR sugar mill as it was โ€˜back in the dayโ€™. Nope โ€“ this is a hands-on brand resurrection โ€“ giving David and Garth the ability to produce rumย exactlyย how they want to.

    Their spirit is lighter and cleaner than a lot of our โ€˜artisanalโ€™ rum makers due in part to their use of a column still which helps extract a more crisp spirit, less oily and more refined. They use a mix of Winemakerโ€™s PDM (Chardonnay) and Fusion (Pinot Noir) yeasts. ~96 hours of fermentation giving a ~7.5% yield. This, combined with their exclusive use of ex-wine or grape spirit aging casks, produces a spirit with as unique a spectrum of aromas and flavours as Iโ€™ve ever tasted.

    Our Tasting Notes

    Nose:ย Big grated apple notes dominate the nose at first but then subtle red wine tannin-ey notes begin to curl through. After a minute or two in the glass, soft jasmine notes make themselves known as well.

    Palate:ย Clean and crisp on the palate as column stills do so well. An initial, surprising โ€“ but delicious- peanut-brickle burst of flavour backed up byย ย  lovely, fruity notes โ€“ pineapple, apple and pearย  โ€“ with biscuit spices and fresh pastry notes wafting confidently in the background.

    Finish:ย Fades out with a delightful, almost ginger-nut biscuit feel. Definitely ground ginger there, but those spices fade out hand in hand with it.

    This is a rum unlike any Iโ€™ve tried before. Itโ€™s definitely not your classic caramel and liquorice forward Aussie Style. Itโ€™s light on the palate, but by no means insipid. Fruity without being too sweet or funky. Bold flavours โ€“ but not overbearing. ย Floral, but not over the top. The wine cask maturation definitely has a noticeable hand in this.
