When mixed according to instructions, produces a rich, sweet and smooth, yet full bodied dark rum resembling another well known Queensland icon. This is the taste of the tropics. The rum essence, which is supplied in a 200 ml container, is sufficient to flavour 3.5 litres of rum. The essence is made from a special blend of refined cane sugars with no preservatives, colours or flavours added. Unopened, the essence has a very long shelf life, but is best when used within two years. The rum produced, may be enjoyed with your favourite mixer, or simply over ice to provide a rich smooth satisfying drink.
