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.
Tasting notes
Nose
Gloriously fruity on the nose. Green pineapple, honeydew melon, ripe nectarine, mango. Sherbert top notes, with a touch of oak and burnt rubber.
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.
