Stolen Smoked
Introducing the world’s first smoked rum. The result of an artisanal approach fuelled by the desire to reinvent the century old rum category.
Capturing the essence of a fresh brew, STOLEN use re-fractionated Colombian Arabica coffee, wholly distilled from same-day roasted beans. The warm, roasted flavour is complemented by the creamy sweetness and velvety texture of premium Madagascan Vanilla bean and Moroccan fenugreek tinctures. The rum is rounded off with smoky tones of American Hardwood, an essence acquired through a process called pyrolysis. This means that the hardwood is first burnt at a very high temperature, then, in the absence of oxygen, the initial smoke condensate separates, rises, is captured in a chamber, condensed and cooled into a liquid.
The infusion of these premium natural ingredients sourced from around the world, and this unique smoking process, add delicious and complex layers to a base of aged Caribbean rum. The result is a smooth, medium-weight body and a generous bouquet. The aromas of vanilla and toffee mingle with cacao and roasted coffee. On the palate, the deep profile of freshly brewed coffee, vanilla beans, warm caramel and dark chocolate mix with lingering wisps of charred oak for a long, smooth, smoky finish.
The STOLEN story started in 2010 when two rum-loving Kiwis gave up their corporate jobs to follow their passion and bootstrap their way into the spirits business. They launched STOLEN from their apartment in Auckland, New Zealand, introducing award-winning rums to Australia, New Zealand, and the US. Along the way, they developed STOLEN into a unique lifestyle brand, inspired by the punk movement and premium street fashion, devoid of any of the cliché’s attributed to traditional rum brands.
