Australian Rum 2012 Tasting Notes

Picture this: Head to the gym and jump over the varnished oak vault to land on the floor mats, a leather-covered table next to it with boxing gloves and linseed oil to soothe sore muscles.

Nose: It 's the smell of the gym with floor mats, trainers, leather hand guards and a bowl of chalk dust to protect hands from ropes dangling from metal hooks in the ceiling . There is a medicine cabinet with linseed oil, antiseptic creams and bandages for cuts.

Mouth: It's the boxing ring with ropes, boxing gloves and satin robes, rubber mouth guard with antiseptic rinse, ripe bananas and orange slices, polished silver trophies, plus avocado and chilli on sourdough, rice pudding with mango and cinnamon.

Finish: Chai tea and polished silver.

Meet The Founder

Michael Barbaria

Swell de Spirits was founded by Michael Barbaria in 2021. Michael's two great loves in life are exceptional spirits, and surfing. So he launched independent bottler Swell de Spirits to combine his love of both.

In a relatively short period Michael has made a big mark on the world of artisan spirits. And gained quite a fan base around the world. Rather than focus on one particular spirits category, Michael bottles them all - as he loves them all. From world whiskies, through rums, to cognacs and more. But what they all have in common is that they really are exceptional quality. Michael has an excellent palate and leans towards big flavour bombs. Each of his releases is beautifully present, and some of the label designs are works of pop art in their own right.
