The Red Mill Gold Rum is the ultimate expression of the Red Mill vision – a blend of Red Mill Rums aged in beautiful casks from around the world. It’s a balanced, elegant and delicious Rum – a gentle column distillation, elevaged in a suite of casks selected and blended in April 2024 – including ex-Pinot Noir, white Bordeaux, Oloroso Sherry, Cognac (Actually, Mistelle..) and others.
The result is a bright, golden, delicious Rum that is perfect for sipping or mixing.
1100 bottles made.
