83IslandsSingleBlendYumiVanuatuRum(750ml)

Sans The very first rum from a country many Aussies are familiar with as a holiday destination â€?Vanuatu! ‘Yumi Rumâ€?means ‘Our Rumâ€?in the region’s dialect and the brand is the brainchild of a passionate local, Pierre-Luc Chabot,who kickstarted sugar plantations on the island in order to make rum. Due to the lack of agricultural machinery, everything is done by hand, and while official organic certification is years away, the farms simply couldn’t be any more organic. What’s more, the cane varieties the Efate farmers are cultivating are heirloom Vanuatuan varieties. Fresh crushed cane juice wash is run with three plates of a 500l hybrid pot/column still operation. The distillate is then matured in the Port Vila warehouse in four used bourbon barrels from four of the world’s leading producers â€?Peerless Distilling, Heaven Hill Distillery, Brown Foreman and Jim Beam.
