Nihilo Afrikan Gold Rum

Nihilo Afrikan Gold Rum is a South African rum, a young expression rested for only around three months in ex-bourbon wood. The brief maturation gives colour and a touch of oak influence while keeping the spirit close to its distillate character.

Expect a bright, lively profile here, with an acidity that runs from start to finish, green apple and lemon lifted by a touch of ginger and a nose that hints at a longer fermentation. It sits closer to a fresh, high-toned young rum than a rich aged sipper, an interesting glimpse of emerging South African rum making rather than a deeply matured pour.
