Dancing Sands XO Rum
Rare, complex & exquisite
A rare and remarkable expression of New Zealand rum, this XO blend of 14 and 20 year old rums is a true collector’s piece. Originally crafted by the now-closed South Pacific Distillery in Nelson, these aged spirits have rested undisturbed in our Golden Bay barrels for the past decade, deepening in character and complexity.
The result is a rum with exceptional depth: rich notes of dark oak, sun-dried fruit, and warm baking spice unfold slowly, revealing a finish that’s impossibly smooth and quietly commanding. This is more than a spirit - it’s a time capsule, a tribute to provenance, patience, and the craft that connects them.
Savour it neat, and let the layers tell their story.
