Maund Rum "Port Pinot" 2005

A selected "blend" of Jamaica rum, matured for 12 years in selected ex-Bourbon barrels in the Caribbean, receives an exceptional "Port Pinot" finish in our cellar.

The distillery of THE WILD ALPS is located on the estate of Tobias Schmid & Sohn AG. Here, over 10 years ago, the specialty "Old Ruby" was vinified using the port wine method from the Pinot Noir grapes produced on the estate. THE WILD ALPS used the first barrels that became available for the "Port Pinot" finishing of the MAUND RUM "PORT PINOT".

First bottling in October 2018.

Tasting notes - among the top 15 (Swiss Gin & Rum Awards 2019):

Slightly woody, fruity, nutty, a little peppery and tobacco at the end, "Asian spice store". Slightly green wood notes on the palate. Absolutely honest and straightforward, not designed.

2018 Masterclass Vienna Rum:

Deep amber color in the glass, raisins typical of Jamaica blends from MAUND, slightly woody, distinct roasted aromas, a hint of caramel paired with dark berries and candied fruits. Port wine "takes center stage" in the finish. Perfect as a "sipping rum" and digestif.

About the "MAUND"® brand:
John Oakley Maund was an English banker and alpinist who gained fame through several first ascents in the Mont Blanc massif in the 19th century. Sir J.O. Maund, had stately hunting villas built by Willam Morris on Lake Lucerne and in the Arlberg region, on a foothill of the Ünschenberg Alpe in the Bregenzerwald.

The "Villa Maund" in the Bregenzerwald was leased for many years as a hunting lodge for Crown Prince Wilhelm of Prussia. From 1995 to 2007, Paul Renner, artist and activist, lived in the property. Among the countless illustrious guests were Zaha Hadid, Ferran Adrià, Günter Brus and the many prominent members of the "infamous" Hell Fire Touring Club.
