Description / Reviews
"Mudgee’s Three Tails Brewery has partnered with Sydney harbourside rum distillery, Red Mill Rum, for an Australian-first rum, aged in the same cask used to make one of the brewery’s iconic beers. The new Red Mill x Three Tails Stout Rum | Special Cask #2, now available at the distillery and brewery, was aged in the same cask used to brew Three Tails’ Mudgee Mochaccino - a stout featuring locally made coee and chocolate - giving it a distinctly rich, bitter flavour. Known as a “rolling thunder” program, the process involves beer and rum being aged in the same cask to add new layers of flavour and complexity over time. The Red Mill Rum team were tasked with selecting a rum cask for the Three Tails stout, choosing a cask, first filled in 2021 with a smooth, elegant young rum - ideal for a stout finish. In December last year, the cask was decanted and the rum set aside, before it was collected by the Three Tails team and transported to Mudgee. Three Tails head brewer Jono Beazley then filled the cask with what became the Mudgee Mochacinno - a creamy, mocha stout beer that heroes the region’s specialty producers, Spencer Cocoa chocolate and Acreage Coee beans. The cask was then returned to Red Mill HQ to be re-filled with the rum, which quickly took on an unmistakable chocolate and coee aroma." - Red Mill, Distiller
