Top Shelf Aussie Red Rum

Still Spirits Top Shelf Aussie Red Rum creates a smooth golden-rum-style spirit with burnt-sugar caramel and American white-oak character.

How to prepare it

Shake the 50ml flavouring bottle well, then add the contents to 2.25L of 40% neutral spirit or vodka. Mix thoroughly to make three 750ml bottles.

No separate liqueur base is required. Allowing the mixed spirit a little resting time before serving helps the rum and oak notes integrate.
