Ord River Rum Overproof 750mL

Ord River Rum Overproof 750mL 56.4% ABV

There was no surprise here at MyBottleShop when we heard that the Ord River Rum Overproof had been awarded a gold medal at the prestigious International Spirits Challenge 2015, held in the UK. One of the leaders in the Australian craft spirit revolution, the gold medal is yet more recognition of the way Australian distilleries have been challenging the world's best. But what's the back story behind Hoochery distillery, the makers of Ord River? The Hoochery, located in the stunning Ord River Valley, is considered to be the oldest legal still in Western Australia. The famous Ord River Rum is produced by this family owned and operated business and part of its secret is a commitment to using local products where possible. Raymond Dessert III (Spike) is the name behind the Hoochery and he fell in love with the Ord River Valley when he arrived there in 1972. In more recent times he has seen the potential of the Ord River as a producer of quality rum and has gone on to worldwide acclaim as we have seen. Spike's Hoochery is proudly 100 percent Australian, producing quality rum from Ord Valley sugar cane which is then aged in small oak barrels and hand bottled. Now you can support Australian products in the MyBottleShop Australian Craft Spirit Collection.
