Own your own RumRum barrel

Are you passionate about the art of rum and eager to experience the thrill of nurturing your own barrel from start to finish? You’re in the right place! Keep reading to find out how you can join us on this rambunctious journey and craft a truly exceptional rum

The Rub.

  • Choose from 120lt or 200lt Ex-Bourbon American Oak barrel.
  • Only 20 barrels will be available per year
  • Free storage and insurance of your barrel for up to 5 years
  • Free bottling party, i.e., we supply the equipment and labour to bottle/label your bottles, you supply the bottles and labels.
  • Samples of your barrel at the distillery every 6 months.
  • JimmyRum merchandise pack which includes 2 x branded glasses and one of our JimmyRum linen shirts
  • A tasting masterclass with Jimmy, for you and seven friends at the distillery, or any venue in Victoria or fly Jimmy to your interstate or international location (yes please – Jimmy) .
  • Age a 120ltr barrel for 2 years and you’ll have between 140 and 225, 700ml bottles, to sell (subject to state laws), gift, share between club mates, put away for investment or just throw one hell of a party.

    • Great - So how much is it?

    We have two options for you
    - 120lt barrel filled with 108lts at 62% ABV for $12,750, (save 33.3% of an equivilent bottled RumRum retail price!)  
    - 200ltr barrel filled to 190ltrs at 62% ABV for $18,475 (save 40% of an equivilent bottled RumRum retail price!)
    (Prices do not include ATO excise or bottle/label supply costs)

Included in your purchase...

  • The cane spirit (new make rum). The same spirit that went into our barrels to create our 2023 World Rum Award winning RumRum.
  • Storage for up to 5 years, if you want longer, it can be arranged for $200/year (includes insurance), minimum storage is 2 years from fill date, it’s an Australian rum law thing.
  • Our bottling equipment and labour is free for bottling, you are welcome to come help too. You do have to bottle your product to take it out of the distillery, ATO only allows us to sell in sizes of up to 2 litres.
  • Insurance - this is included on all stored barrels.
  • Registration on PPSR and a certificate for it…It’s now your rum, we are just the care takers until you want to bottle it.
  • Your barrel branded and a dedicated QR code registration plate for that barrel
  • If your circumstances change after 3 years and your want to discuss buy back options. We have options for that too.  Either a full buy back or buy back just enough to pay the excise for you..  

Not included in your purchase...  

  • Bottles, labels, closures, security seals.  This is up to your taste and style, but we can help in the selection process.  Prices starts from a few dollars per bottle and go up from there. 
  • The actual wooden barrel…that is ours, you own the best bit, the rum inside. If you want to buy the barrel after emptying, then let’s talk.

Excise. This one is important. You’ve paid for the spirit, but the tax man still has to be paid.  We can only calculate the exact amount of excise tax to pay on  the day of bottling, this is due to many many variables.  As a rule of thumb, allow for a minimum of $5,750 of excise for a 3yr old 120lt barrel to come out of bond and be bottled. For example, the longer you leave a barrel, the less spirit you'll have available to bottle (due to angels share evaporation), so the less excise you'll need to pay...and how good would that 10 year old rum taste?!

Barrelling Options.

  • Our Standard barrel is Ex-Bourbon white American oak, but we can source a few different styles of barrels to choose from. i.e.  French Oak, Ex-Whisky, Ex-Wine, Ex port/brandy/sherry, Ex-beer or even Ex-banana brandy barrels - each giving the rum a different flavour profile. 
  • We normally fill the barrel to 90% of its capacity as barrels work better with space to breath (don't we all!) 
  • Normally we fill our barrrels with 62% ABV spirit, but we can fill yours with anything from 58% to 80%, we'll just need to adjust the price to suit the higher or lower ABV choosen.  

Sampling.

  • Come in and have a taste of your barrel as it travels along its journey.  
  • Just drop us an email and we'll book in a time to have Jimmy or a distiller on hand. We can do it as often as every six months. 
  • You can even take home a 500ml bottle and share it with your friends and family. You'll just have to pay the going rate of the excise required on the day.

So, how many bottles? 

  • This is the big question, and it involves a great many variables
  • Size of bottle - 500ml or 700ml? Mayby even a dainty 350ml or a party starter 1.125lt?
  • Bottling ABV - We cut our RumRum to where we think it tastes best, but you might have a different agenda. We'll help you with the process, so you can select the bottle ABV that's right for you.
  • The angels share - this is the bit that evaporates to the heavens as your barrel beautifully ages, in JimmyRum's location and climate, it's usually around 5.5% of the barrel per year.  

SMSF Purchases.

  • Want to do something different with your Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF)? You can do it with modern art, why not rum?
  • You can’t get any personal gains from owning this barrel with your super, so no sample tastings.
  • We run a reduced price because you can’t get the t-shirt, glasses masterclass or any tour/tastings.
  • We’ll buy the rum back at the 3 year mark with compounding interest of 8.5% of purchase price.
  • Or your SMSF can get us to bottle it and sell it in a single sale to a distributor of your choosing.

International Buyers

  • We’ll still produce and barrel your spirit with the same love as the above options.
  • When the time comes to ship your Rum to your country of choice, we can either ship it in bulk or ship it bottled.
  • Note: No Australian excise or GST needs to be paid for export, but you will have to pay your own country's duties/taxes on arrival.
  • We’ll pass on the freight and packaging costs to you.

What next? 

Get in touch and let us know you want in. We’ll then collect your details for registering your ownership and ask for a 15% deposit. If we don’t have the barrels in stock, or you want a specialty barrel, we’ll then get the barrels made up and shipped in (we keep minimal stock to keep the barrels fresh) allow 4 weeks for this, then we book a time with you to come and select the barrel and be part of the filling party. 

That should just about cover it. If you're interested or a have few questions just hit the below button and get in touch with us. 

Cheers!
