JimmyRum is the toast of the town after picking up two gold medals, three silver medals and the trophy for Best Australian Cane Spirit at the Australian Distilled Spirits Awards last month.
“Our big girl has done it again,” the Dromana distillery said in a statement, referring to its still, affectionately known as Matilda. “We are truly humbled by the recognition. James (founder James McPherson, pictured) has not stopped smiling since and has not managed to put down the trophy. We are truly humbled by the recognition of all our winning cane spirits and rum.”
The award for Best Australian Cane Spirit went to JimmyRum Navy, which the judge described as “floral, fresh grass and solid vegetal funk. Nice weight on the palate, generous mouthfeel with spicy finish”. JimmyRum Navy also won a gold medal – as did JimmyRum Silver – while RumRum, JimmyRum Oaked and JimmyRum Spiced were all awarded silver medals. JimmyRum also secured a top four in the Best Victorian Distillery category.
“It was so great to see so many of our fellow distillers at the awards night, all being honoured for their amazing craftsmanship, passion and dedication,” JimmyRum said. “We are lucky to be in such good company.”
