Small Batch Club Once a year we put aside a single barrel of our best barrel strength Canefire Rum at roughly 80% ACL. Instead of cutting it down with water, as we do for Canefire and Backburn, we use a blend of Swan Valley Port with a variety of fortified; and hence Small Batch is born. Small Batch, as its name suggests, is a limited run of only 500 bottles per batch. Each run is blended down to a flat 40% ACL with a different combination of fortified to ensure each batch is unique in flavor, color and texture. We would like to give you the opportunity to follow the course of our blends by becoming a member of our Small Batch club. Providing us with your contact details when you purchase a bottle we can ensure you get first preference to each release before the general public do; as bottles are limited. Small Batch is only available from our Distillery tasting room, here.

Batch Notes: Batch Number 5 - Released 16th March 2011 This year's blend sees a combination of barrel aged rum with a nine year old dark Tokay; combining the rich sweet flavours of treacle, toffee and caramel with wafts of aged wood, roasted nuts and vanilla. The darkest of the blends to date, Batch #5 has a subtle smell and rich taste lending to its extended aging and maturation process. Batch Number 4 - Released 14th June 2010 A very soft barrel of rum cut with Highway Wines white port and Frontignac. The spirit has the typically Frontignac nose of roses and lychees. The delicate flavours of this classic wine leaves the pallete quickly to be left with the caramel vanilla tones of the rum. This by far the smoothest of the small batches to date. Batch Number 3 - Released 3rd July 2009 A dark, highly aromatic barrel of rum cut with Highway Wines white port and Muscat. A dark strongly aromatic spirit.. A strong sultana nose and a richly sweet taste on the back of the palette. Almost overpowering in aroma and taste this full blooded sensation is just made for snifting from a brandy balloon in front of a wood fire. Forget the ice. Batch Number 2 - Released 8th August 2008 A dark, well oaked barrel of rum cut with Highway Wines white port and dark sherry. A complicated drink with a strong sherry note. Again a strong flavor of honey over the back of the palette. Extremely smooth over the front of the palette for a sweet sipper. Best served over ice. This is distillers favourite blend. Batch Number 1 - Released November 2007 A light and soft barrel of rum cut with Highway Wines white port. A port note with a strong flavor of honey over the back of the palette. A lingering vanilla flavor. The port flavour distinctively follows the rum at the rear pallet and lingers.
