What is Dead Reckoning South Pacific 10 Year Muscat Cask Rum?
Dead Reckoning South Pacific 10 Year Muscat Cask Rum offers a unique twist on traditional rum, blending pot and column still spirits aged in 40-year-old muscat barrels for a rich, complex profile. Interestingly, this rum undergoes a secondary aging process in Adelaide, Australia, where the region's unusually dry climate imparts distinct characteristics to the spirit - a technique founder Justin Boseley calls "Australian Dry-Aging."
Why do we love Dead Reckoning South Pacific 10 Year Muscat Cask Rum?
Dead Reckoning South Pacific 10 Year Muscat Cask Rum captivates cocktail lovers with its unique "Australian Dry-Aging" process, where the rum undergoes secondary maturation in Adelaide's arid climate. This distinctive technique, coupled with aging in 40-year-old muscat barrels from New South Wales, imparts a rich tapestry of flavors ranging from sultanas and figs to dark chocolate and roasted coffee, offering a truly singular South Pacific rum experience.
How do you drink Dead Reckoning South Pacific 10 Year Muscat Cask Rum?
This rich and complex rum is best savored neat or with a single ice cube to fully appreciate its nuanced flavors of sultanas, figs, and dark chocolate. While excellent year-round, its warm toffee and coffee notes make it particularly enjoyable on cool autumn evenings, perhaps paired with a dessert of dark chocolate truffles or a cheese plate featuring aged hard cheeses.

Nose: Rich and inviting with prominent notes of sultanas, figs, and raisins. Dark chocolate and roasted coffee aromas mingle with a subtle hint of toffee. A faint whiff of diesel oil adds complexity, reminiscent of classic Caribbean rums.
Palate: Full-bodied and complex. Ripe plum and dried fruit flavors dominate initially, giving way to deeper notes of dark chocolate and espresso. The influence of the muscat barrels is evident, imparting a subtle grape sweetness that balances the rum's inherent robustness. A slight oiliness coats the tongue, carrying flavors of caramel and toasted oak.
Finish: Long and warming. The sweetness fades, leaving behind a pleasant dryness reminiscent of dark cocoa powder. Lingering notes of coffee grounds and aged leather are punctuated by a subtle spiciness. The finish tapers off with a hint of tropical fruit, reminding you of the rum's South Pacific origins.
Dead Reckoning South Pacific 10 Year Muscat Cask Rum is crafted using a unique blend of 80% continuous still rum and 20% pot still rum, distilled in a John Dore Pot still with a double retort configuration. The spirit gains its distinctive character from aging in 40-year-old muscat barrels sourced from the Charles Sturt Winery in New South Wales, Australia, infusing the rum with rich, wine-like notes that complement its tropical profile.
