Introducing
Maiden Voyage Aged Rum
Our First Cask-Aged Release
Fermented for seven days using sugarcane Jaggery, then double distilled in our copper pot still.
Aged for five summers (4.5 years) in ex-bourbon barrels. The NZ climate a great for ageing spirits, from 6 degrees C to 40 degrees inside the distillery encourages interaction with the oak. This creates notes of vanilla, caramel and spice.
As they say, good things take time… so we waited, and waited, until they were just right. A perfect balance of rum and barrel influence.
Resulting in a beautiful golden rum.
Own a piece of New Zealand rum history. Maiden Voyage is the first-ever aged rum released by The NZ Rum Co. Individually numbered and produced in strictly limited quantities, each bottle represents a milestone that can never be repeated—the very first aged rum ever bottled by our distillery.
Crafted from sugarcane jaggery, fermented for seven days, double distilled in our copper pot still, and matured for five summers (4.5 years) in American oak ex-bourbon barrels at our Auckland distillery, Maiden Voyage is a distinctly New Zealand expression of premium rum. Our subtropical climate has shaped a spirit with notes of ripe banana, toasted coconut, hints of passion-fruit, and a smooth honeyed finish.
