Killik Gold 42% 700mL
🥃 Killik Gold takes rum to a new level with its 12-month aging in Chardonnay barrels. This unique process infuses the Jamaican-style distillate with rich ester notes and a burst of sweet red fruit characters, including cherry and strawberry lollies, complemented by bubblegum tones.
Produced by Killik, this rum is crafted with a high ester profile that brings out a funky, vibrant character ideal for cocktails. The use of Chardonnay barrels is a distinctive touch, adding depth and complexity to the spirit.
The palate is lively and fruit-driven, with a balance of sweetness and funk that doesn't overwhelm. It's smooth enough to sip, yet bold enough to stand out in cocktails.
At 42%, it offers a perfect strength for mixing into classic rum cocktails like a Mai Tai, enhancing the drink's tropical profile.
