Perhaps the star of the show in the Rare Rum Triple Tasting Pack, and the latest rare rum release from Nil Desperandum, is The Pombe Fission, with its use of the rare Schizosaccharomyces pombe yeast, also called S. Pombe or “fission yeast”.
We caught up with Head Distiller, Adam Chapman, to discuss all things S.Pombe and why is it special in rum making. Here’s what he had to say: “This yeast has the ability to live, grow and handle rather high levels of fatty acids, allowing the bond of ethanol and other alcohols with the fatty acids to create high flavours and aromas [higher ester levels].
[The Pombe Fission] is the first time that we have watched the fermentation and yeast fission under the microscope and seeing the flavour profile of ripe pineapple and black bananas and dense overripe pawpaw being developed with the magical matching of alcohols and fatty acids in high levels.”
With a total Congener level of 972 g/HL and bottled at a stunning cask strength of 57.5%, this is truly a unique and interesting rum that will be sure to impress! A must try for rum enthusiasts, geeks, collectors and connoisseurs alike.
