Lord Byron Distillery - Pure Single Rum: This particular batch was number 1, they've recently released batch 4. Lord Byron are the first Australian Rum Distillery to release a pure single rum under the Gargano classification system. The nose is chocolate and caramel, with raisins and licorice. The palate adds a touch of burnt wood, and notes of port. Sustainably and locally produced, from about 2.5 hours up the road from where I grew up, this drink will always remind me of home. It's also day 20 of the Mr & Mrs Rum Advent Calender (although I'm unsure which batch).
Bundaberg Distillery Rum Ball Liqueur - a special/limited edition liqueur of a favourite treat for many people. The nose is rich with chocolate and coconut notes, and the distinctive aromas of Bundy.The palate matches the nose exactly: it really is a rum ball liqueur. Does not disappoint. JM
