Redgum Rum

Post by Titus-a-fishus »

Hey Gents
Reading the thread on Oak Alternatives gave me a thought
Has anyone tried to make a Bundy Red?

I'm not up to that yet
Just throwing it out there cause I do like the taste of Bundaberg Red

Look forward to everyones comments

Pretty sure that there's a thread on this in here somewhere. Did you do a search?

Hey BD

People have been talking about Bundy red
But no one has said they have done a version of it yet.

So how about it fellas?
Anyone made a redgum rum or about too?

I don't think anyone has gone through with it, but I've done the charcoal filter with other woods and spirits (as have many others), and can tell you that it makes quite a difference. Give it a go, and make sure you tell us how it works!

Tell you what I'll do, TAF. Next batch of rum I do I'll age some on a bit of redgum charcoal from our fire and see what happens, although I'll be verry wary about drinking it in any great volume.

I reckon the SS Navy Rum tastes fairly similar to Bundy Red...
I'm not a COMPLETE idiot, I've lost some of the pieces!!!

I'm collecting red gum charcoal as winter ends, titus. Next rum will be a redgum experiment. Could be good honest fun. :)
