- Description
- FNQ's Iridium is Australian rum made from local sugarcane syrup, distilled at Mt Uncle in Queensland, and aged five years in red wine casks—a maturation choice that introduces wine tannins and dried fruit character. The red wine cask brings density and depth, coating the palate with notes of baked apples, treacle, spice, and subtle herbal sugarcane undertones. The result is concentrated and textured, with enough complexity to reward neat sipping while remaining versatile in cocktails. Suited to rum drinkers seeking something beyond Caribbean tradition, with Australian character and wine-driven richness.
