Description

The Label: We can’t focus on the ‘who’ specifically, so why not consider some Aussie Rum history? In 1865 a duo from England purchased 300 acres of land fronting the Albert River. They named the clearing after their old Devonshire farm and planted sugar cane. Around the same time, a man called James Stewart, known as ‘The Bosun’ was operating a floating sugar mill, aboard the S.S. Walrus, along the Albert and Logan Rivers. He found a productive use for the excess molasses he produced – making Rum! In 1884 the SS Walrus washed up on the river bank . No-one was aboard – except The Bosun’s Copper Pot still – and the distillery was born.
Our label features the famous S.S. Walrus and ATOM’s finest in the form of Simon McGoram, our man in Asia-Pacific standing proud on the prow.

Tasting Notes By BOUTIQUE-Y PETE:
Nose: Complex and engaging. Green pineapple, crisp white pear, and lemon oils. Cane sugar sweet, fresh coconut, runs up against burnt rubber, a little cocoa powder, and gentle liquorice. A delicate floral note of jasmine intertwines.
Palate: Sweet onto the palate, lovely fresh mango and green pineapple. Butterscotch and dark chocolate. Dates and raisins. A touch of burnt rubber.
Finish: A lovely balanced grip lingers nicely. A soft touch of ginger, with a smoky, burnt rubber note. Black pepper, black tea, and a lovely zesty orange note.
