Introducing the Northern Rivers Rum Special Cask Series (Viva), the pinnacle of Soltera craft and the distillery's first Pure Single Rum. This extraordinary expression marks a significant milestone, showcasing the transformative power of time and the unique terroir of the Tweed Valley in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales.
This rum:
- had a long fermentation in early summer 2021 using Tweed Shire molasses from the Condong Sugar Mill
- double distilled in a copper pot still in late 2021
- small amount of vapour spice infusion during distillation
- aged for over three years in a 115-litre American oak ex-bourbon cask that was re-coopered in South Australia (this is a single cask release)
The subtropical climate of Cabarita Beach accelerates the ageing process, creating a rich interplay between the rum and its barrel. The result is a deeply complex spirit with enhanced flavour layers of caramel, spice, and tropical fruit, all infused with the region's signature salty coastal influence.
Each bottle of Northern Rivers Rum captures the essence of our meticulous approach to rum-making, from sustainable sourcing of local ingredients to our dedication to small-batch, handcrafted perfection. This special cask release is not just a celebration of Soltera Rum but a tribute to the unique conditions and vibrant spirit of the Northern Rivers.
Prepare to raise your glass in April 2025 and experience the ultimate expression of Soltera’s craftsmanship. This is more than a rum—it’s a celebration of life, flavour, and the subtropical soul of Cabarita Beach.
