Killik Tasting notes
Killik Gold
42%ABV – $79
KILLIK Gold is aged in Chardonnay barrels for 12 months.
Tasting Notes: The high ester nature results in a super funky Jamaican style distillate loaded with sweet red fruit characters, cherry, strawberry lollies & bubblegum.
What is Hogo or High Ester? Originally a Jamaican style, hogo is an easily identifiable flavour which is the result of wild fermentation. It is commonly characterised by its potent, funky nose and taste. It can be very difficult to define and can vary wildly. In the case of KILLIK, it is often very fruity with strong hints of tropical fruit, over-ripe bananas, strawberry and a distinct milkiness.
How to Serve: KILLIK Gold is delicious by itself but also, this style is perfect for creating an authentic Mai Tai, try it out yourself!
Mai Tai: 30ml KILLIK Gold, 45ml fresh lime juice, 15ml cointreau, 15ml simple syrup and 7.5ml orgeat

What is Double Barrel? Aged for 12 months in two separate casks, Bourbon and Muscat, and blended at bottling time, this is our easiest going rum.
