Kakira Dark Rum 5yo 70cl

Kakira Dark Rum: Rich, Equatorial-Aged Sugar Cane Spirit with Toffee Finish

Discover Kakira Dark Rum, a rich and complex spirit meticulously crafted from "grass to glass" at the Kakira Sugar Estate, East Africa's largest sugar producer in Uganda. This exceptional rum begins with molasses from estate-grown sugar cane, which is then fermented and expertly copper-pot distilled.

What truly sets Kakira Dark Rum apart is its unique maturation: it's aged directly on the Equator at the Kakira Estate in a Solera system using both ex-Bourbon and Sherry casks for a minimum of 5 years. This equatorial aging imparts an unparalleled depth and character. The final touch involves a hint of the very cane sugar it was made from, enhancing its natural richness, before being bottled on premises with pristine water from Lake Victoria, the source of the River Nile.

Handcrafted in Uganda, Kakira Dark Rum is a pure sugar cane spirit that offers more than just a taste of Africa. Kakira Spirits, established in 1930, operates with a profound commitment to sustainability, utilizing sugar production byproducts to decrease waste and carbon footprint. Their success also fuels a charitable fund dedicated to local environmental, wildlife, and water conservation efforts in Uganda, making every sip a contribution to a better future.
