Red Mill Rum Fondillòn Cask - Single Cask Series

The very first Red Mill Special Cask Collection is a trio of single-cask rums that capture the heart of what we do best.

Each was chosen for its character, its history, and the way it tells our story through oak and time. Only a handful of bottles exist from each cask — all 700ml, ~42% ABV. 

The Fondillòn Cask
Steeped in Spanish tradition, this 1600L cask once held the centuries-old dessert wine from Alicante, and is the rarest cask in our collection. Fondillòn is a red wine made from the Mourvèdre grape that is ripened until late into the growing season, making an unfortified, but intensely rich style of red wine. It is aged and allowed to oxidise, slowly bottled in a solera system.

After 80 years of loyal service in Spain, it was decommissioned and shipped to us here in Sydney, where we rebuilt it and filled it with aged rum in early 2024. The staves are almost two inches thick, completely soaked with the most intense and wonderful flavours. Expect deep raisin and fig sweetness, with hints of tobacco and antique oak, Christmas pudding and balsamic. An elegant and refined sipping rum.
