Melbourne rye whiskey distillery The Gospel has released Single Cask Rum, made from the very first cask laid down in its first distillery over 7 years ago.
Double distilled in direct fired pot stills from Australian sugarcane, The Gospel says the Single Cask Rum was aged for most of its life in a re-coopered, Australian red wine cask that had been charred in the alleyway behind its South Melbourne distillery.
It was kept at ground level for a slow maturation, and then transferred to a freshly disgorged Straight Rye Whiskey barrel.
The result is a 7-year-old single cask rum that has been finished in a rye whiskey barrel. Single Cask Rum has notes of dried apricot, brown sugar, toffee, crème caramel, roasted hazelnuts, orange marmalade, nutmeg, cinnamon, jasmine and leatherwood honey.
The limited release will be exclusively available to purchase online for RRP $135. It will join the brand’s core range, Solera Rye and Straight Rye Whiskey.
