Kakira 40% ABV African 5 Year Old Dark Rum 70cl

From 'grass to glass', Kakira Dark Rum is made from molasses derived from sugar cane grown on the Kakira Estate, East Africa's largest sugar producer. Fermented and then copper-pot distilled, Kakira Dark Rum is aged on the Equator at Kakira in ex-Bourbon and Sherry cask soleras for a minimum of 5 years before it is finished with a touch of the very cane sugar it was made from and bottled on the premises with water from Lake Victoria, the source of the River Nile.

Tasting Notes:

A rich and warming embrace of tropical notes including banana, coconut and almond with a complex yet smooth toffee-like finish.

Pure Sugar Cane Spirit

Handcrafted in Uganda

A Taste of Africa from the Kakira Sugar Estate

Kakira Spirits was started on the Kakira Sugar Estate, established in 1930 by the Madhvani Family in the Jinja Region of Uganda. All the products offered are produced from sugar cane, specifically the molasses left over from the sugar production. At the core of the brand, it was started to decrease waste and carbon footprint during the sugar making process and increase revenue. Since then Kakira has grown substantially; producing award winning spirits & creating a charitable fund for the local environment, wildlife, and water conservation in Uganda.
