The High Ester Rum is an unaged spirit that packs a serious

tropical punch. Distilled in West Auckland, this rum skips the

wood aging to let the raw, vibrant flavors of the

fermentation process take center stage.

The bold character of this rum comes from a meticulous

192-hour fermentation using a dual yeast blend and fresh

dunder (a traditional flavor booster). It’

s bottled at 46%

ABV, providing enough backbone to carry its complex esters

without being overwhelming.

Nose: Fresh cut pineapple, milk chocolate, clean esters,

butter candy

Body: Pineapple lumps, chewy and well textured,

butterscotch and caramel

Finish: Lingering spice, long and moreish

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

The Last Light Journey

Hidden on Te Atatū Peninsula in

West Auckland, a leaky tin shed is

the birthplace of a remarkable rum.

Out here, Last Light believe in doing

it right.

And that takes time

Their stills? They built those. And

their recipes? Theirs too.

Last Light researched. And tinkered.

And then tinkered some more.

Adjusting their cut points and

refining their recipes.

Spending hours in the relentless

pursuit to find their rum making

mojo and to make something

special.

Now they would like you to share it

with you.

Last Light. An authentic Kiwi rum

born of the culture of doing things right
