That Boutique Y Rum Company Australia Mt Uncle Distillery 12 Years Batch 1 50cl 64,9%Vol
It’s always exciting to release a Batch 1 as it means that they have a new producer with which to push the corners of the Rum map out a little further.
Mark Watkins created Mt Uncle Distillery back in 2001, and is well known for making a variety of spirits, including (obviously) Rum! His starting point is sourcing cane syrup from the local sugar making factory. The syrup when combined with yeast, dunder, and water results in a wine which was then distilled in their 1,500 litre Holstein pot still. Matured entirely at Mt Uncle Distillery in an ex-Red Wine Hogshead with a heavy toast for 12 years, this delicious Rum was shipped to the UK in a neutral container for bottling.

Description
The Label:
The lush countryside of the Atherton Tableland is described as a “fertile plateau” evoking images of One Million Years BC. Our ‘hero’ and founder: Mark Watkins stands boldly – ready for anything – in front of a terrifying array of beasties, running amok and chasing down the locals.

Palate: Sweet and oily onto the palate, lots of victoria plum, jammy, with a touch of allspice.
Finish: Tannic oak and green tea. Tart cooked rhubarb, green pineapple, and a touch of anise.
