Matugga Golden Rum
$50.00
THE STORY: Hailing from Livingston, Scotland (near Edinburgh), Matugga Distillers Limited produces boldly distinctive rums drawing from the Jamaican and Ugandan heritage of founders Jacine and Paul Rutasikwa. From the very first sips of their rums we knew we wanted to bring their delightfully multicultural bottlings to the US! Their Swahili motto is “pole pole ndio mwendo”, meaning “slowly slowly is the way to go”, reflecting the patience and care that goes into every drop of Matugga rum.
THE RUM: Close your eyes while sipping this rum and you’ll swear you’ve discovered a new Jamaican distillery … but it’s the work of a Ugandan master distiller in Scotland! Pungent, redolent of exotic ripe fruits, slightly smoky and built on a foundation of spicy oak, Matugga Golden is a true original that defies any easy classification.
PRODUCTION: Ex-bourbon casks, copper pot still
STRENGTH: 42% ABV
