A soft New Zealand golden rum blending molasses and sugarcane, aged in first-fill bourbon barrels, with notes of pineapple, stone fruits, toasted oak and a coastal salt hint.
1642 Golden Rum from The National Distillery Company is a refined, golden-colored spirit that marries tradition and terroir. Crafted using a lighter blend of molasses and sugarcane and aged in first-fill bourbon barrels, it allows the delicate complexities of the barrels to shine through. Its palate offers natural sweetness accented by pineapple, ripe stone fruits, toasted oak, and a subtle saltiness—an ode to Napier’s port-side origins. A winner of the Best in Class at the 2024 New Zealand Rum Awards (Rumbles), this 42% ABV rum is a refined addition to any collection, perfect for sipping neat or elevating premium cocktails.
