Australian Dry Aged

We are often asked what is this that you put on your label.

South Australia is one of the very few geographical locations in Australia where upon aging your rum you have a rapidly increasing ABV , the water molecules evaporate faster than your alcohol & your left with a pure & intense flavour profile. Versus a decreasing ABV when aged anywhere in the tropics.  South Australia’s  climate can see 49 degrees Celsius in summer down to minus temps in winter, a volatile yet low humidity rum shaping climate. South Australia‘s wine regions have a long known this fact & continue to produce some of the most highly awarded and sought after wines in the world.  The flavour profile of Dead Reckonings Australian dry aged rums is testament to this phenomenon.
