Husk Porter Cask Rum Limited Edition — a unique collaboration between Husk Rum and Stone & Wood Brewing Co.
This limited release ACR (Australian Cultivated Rum) from Husk Rum is finished in ex-Porter barrels from renowned Stone & Wood Brewing Co & is a celebration of craftsmanship & local collaboration in the stunning Northern Rivers region of NSW.
Husk Porter Cask Rum is from the same 2019 harvest as their previous Signature ACR release and makes an intriguing side by side tasting to better understand the Porter Cask finish contribution! It uses cane variety Q240 & Q244 and was initially aged for 2 years and 2 months in a mix of ex-Bourbon and ex-wine casks. It was then finished for a further 1 year and 9 months in ex barrel-aged Porter beer casks that had previously held Stone & Wood Porter called “Stone beer”.
Stone & Wood’s annual Stone Beer is a traditional porter, brewed using a unique method that involves heating stones and placing them into the wort to caramelize the sugars. This ancient technique imparts a distinctive depth and complexity to the beer, which is then transferred to barrels for aging. These very barrels have now been used to finish Husk Porter Cask ACR, infusing the rum with rich, robust flavours.
TASTING NOTES
Husk Porter Cask Rum Limited Edition ACR is a winter sipper like no other. The rum bursts with notes of caramel, roasted malt, and dark chocolate, melting into layers of toffee, vanilla, and subtle smokiness. This non-chill filtered rum, made from the 2019 harvest and cane variety Q240 & Q244, exemplifies the rich, full-bodied character of Australian rum.
