Throwback to a little tasting of some cool rums and liqueurs from Tasmania’s New Norfolk Distillery (@newnorfolkdistillery) at Coley last week. Tasmania is usually better known for whiskies, but the folks at New Norfolk decided to go with rum instead. Tarrant Derksen founded the distillery in a former mental asylum, and set out to rekindle Australia’s legacy with rum. During the tasting event at Coley, I got to try their core rums and also a range of liqueurs they make. The Misty Valley Silver Spirit is their non-aged rum, and probably my favourite. It has a very fresh, grassy nose and palate that reminds me of Cachaça, and it went REALLY well with a daiquiri. The Drone Riot is a 60% ABV overproof rum that is done in the style of a Jamaican rum, (there was a slight funk in the nose an entry that reminded me of many Jamaican rums). It is also fermented with wild yeast, which contributes to that funky note. Taste-wise, it reminded me a bit of Wray & Nephew overproof rum, but with a bit more bite to it. There was also Near Horizon spiced rum (very Christmassy and full of cinnamon), and several liqueurs – Von Vader Dutch Cookie (inspired by a traditional Dutch sweet) and Mos Lamington (based on Australia’s ‘national sweet) were a tad too sweet for me, but I liked really liked the Martian Sky Coffee Liqueur. Also, there was the Pillar Of Autumn Smoky Maple Old Fashioned Bottled Cocktail, a bottled old fashioned that was more of a liqueur than a cocktail and was really nice tbh. All in all, an interesting range. I’m not sure whether they are available in Malaysia yet, but you can probably sample some of these at Coley. #tipsyturvyliqueurs, #Mytipsyturvy #tipsyturvyrum #rum #coleylumpur #newnorfolkdistillery #AustralianRum (at Coley) https://www.instagram.com/p/CixNUOdJNuK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is a no filter picture of my newest putup created for @newnorfolkprovidore. It's a smooth, smoky, Caribbean apple butter made with a select trio of Organic Tasmanian apples, a very heavy handed spice blend, and @newnorfolkdistillery spiced rum. This liter jar took over 46 hours to make, contains over 8 kilos of apples, and a glug of rum that would make Queen Teuta proud!!! It's my first original creation for NND. I'm so excited for you all to try it!!

Neighbor Bruh Kyle blessed me with 7kilos of gorgeous figs. Half are already bubbling into a sticky & spiced @newnorfolkdistillery Rum Jam. And I think I'll roast the rest with rosemary and peppercorns for a savory spread for Lamb sandwiches or cheese boards. #honeychildscreole #tasmanianproduce #figs #putups #jammin #preserve https://www.instagram.com/p/CO4Tb4HB4sD/?igshid=1kpxcdp9pcaml
