Dhahabu by Matugga 58.8% (375ml)
$45.00
THE STORY: A vanguard of the burgeoning UK rum scene, Matugga represents an inspired fusion of distillation and flavor traditions from Scotland, the Caribbean & East Africa. Founders Paul & Jacine Rutasikwa draw from their Ugandan and Jamaican roots while crafting rums in their distillery in Scotland.
THE RUM: Matugga’s dunder-powered Golden Rum made an instant impression on us with its notes of tropical fruit and steely esters supported by a gently oaky backbone (from its aging in an ex-bourbon cask). Naturally, we were delighted to bottle this custom overproof version for their US debut. Named after the Swahili word for “gold”, Dhahabu is indeed a multi-cultural treasure for the discerning rum aficionado!
STRENGTH: 58.8% ABV H20: We suggest adding water moderately
PRODUCTION: Molasses in Pot still with dunder
CHARITY: 5% of profits from this bottle goes to Jamaica’s O.D.P.E.M. for relief efforts and rebuilding communities recovering from the Hurricane Melissa disaster.
