Production method
According to commercial descriptions, the products are produced by blending and aromatization in Australia; some expressions are indicated as blends of aged rums from Papua New Guinea and Fiji and are flavoured with local ingredients (e.g. bananas from North Queensland).
Distillation
Blends of distillates; for the Navy Strength version the use of pot still rum (discontinuous still) is indicated in the blends.
Ageing
Some expressions state aging up to about 3 years in ex-bourbon casks (according to retailer product sheets).
Production philosophy
A range focused on mixing rums and bottles with a recognizable character: spiced expressions and a Navy Strength version that emphasize aromatic intensity and use in cocktails.
Territory
Australia (New South Wales indicated as the place of blending/bottling); source rums from the South Pacific (Papua New Guinea, Fiji); bananas from North Queensland for the banana-flavoured expression.
