Description
History
The Transcontinental Rum Line draws inspiration from the historical voyages of rum casks between the New World and the Old Continent. This 2014 Australian rum was distilled in Queensland and underwent double aging: five years in Australia in American oak casks and two years in Europe in ex-Cognac casks. This process reflects the tradition of maritime rum transport, which influenced its organoleptic profile.
