In this episode, we talked to Justin Boseley, founder of Dead Reckoning Rum, one of the first (if not the only) independent bottlers in Australia. Justin has also imported rum into Australia for over a decade through his company La Rumbla Imports. Between the two roles, he’s had a front row seat to the evolution of rum in Australia in recent years, where everything to the imported products available to the actual rum being made in the country has changed dramatically. We discuss:
The difference in Australia’s rum scene now versus the past
How working on billionaires’ yachts led him into the rum business
What it looks like to come up with your first handful of releases as an independent bottler
His philosophy on rum blends
Australia’s unique aging environments
Why celestial navigation is cool as hell
How the pandemic motivated him to go from importer to independent bottler
Getting creative with cask finishes and secondary maturations
What to watch for from Australia’s recent boom of new rum distilleries
Upcoming Dead Reckoning releases
And more!

In this free bonus episode, were releasing global rum ambassador and Equiano co-founder Ian Burrells full interview from our 100th episode, which was full of interesting nuggets about the development of Equiano, rum education, where we can expect to see exciting new rums come from over the next several years, and much more!
Also, we try to guess our way through a mystery sample provided by Rumcast Patron Kyle in DC, only to fail spectacularly.
