Refiner's Molasses Rum 2019
$149Since 2014, we've archived a case or two of every Australian spirit we've produced at both our Rosebery and Botany Distilleries. Now, we’re sharing them with you, we'll be dropping a limited selection of this archival stock via our website, giving you the opportunity to grab a final bottle of your favourite Archie Rose spirit.
Refiner’s Molasses Rum offers true delicacy and is made from sustainably sourced NSW raw liquor, a refiner’s molasses known for its delicate flavour and clean profile. Take a sip and you’ll find it builds on the palate - with notes of caramel, sultanas and marmalade - before tapering into dark chocolate and black tea flavours.
“This molasses is a stream taken from the sugar refining process and accordingly is very light in character and personality. This molasses was so light on impurities it would start to crystallise if you left it alone for long enough,” Master Distiller Dave Withers said.

Local & Ethically Sourced Ingredients
It was this elegance and ethereal lightness that we sought from the spirit. What it delivered was clarity of precision of flavour. There are no deep chocolate molasses flavours here, instead, there is a bright and vibrant personality with subtle fruit which supports the dried fruits of the apera (sherry) casks.
Australian apera is a fortified wine similar to Spanish sherry. It's used to season American or French Oak casks, offering a flavour profile that's usually made up of nutty and dried fruit notes like figs and prunes.
