Albert Michler Distillery Michlers Rum White Overproof

Michlers Rum White Overproof is the high-strength clear release from Austria's Albert Michler, a blend of Caribbean rum built from both column and pot still spirit and bottled without ageing at a serious 63%. Overproof whites like this are made to deliver intensity, whether sipped by the brave or used to drive a cocktail with real backbone.

The aromatics mix tropical fruit and spice with a vegetal, fruit-schnapps character that hints at the pot still in the blend. The palate is unsurprisingly powerful, full-bodied and alcoholic with a bitter streak and an underlying sweetness, and the finish runs sharp and warming. Tasters often note it drinks softer than its strength suggests, which makes it more usable than the number on the label implies. Treated with respect it brings coconut, banana and spice to tiki drinks and overproof floats, or rewards careful neat sipping for those who like their white rum loud.
