Killik Single Origin Rum Australia <KLK>

"This was one of the highlights for me at the 13. GRF!! Unknown australian distillery, white rum with perfect integration of alcohol and a remarkable taste of strawberry, yoghurt (reminds me on Yoghurette), ester, caramel! I wish to post now the meme of McMahon 😜 Very cool :3 It will make a delicious daiquiri😬"

"Wow, what's that? Fermented fruit such as strawberries and plums, but also fruit from the orchard and a strong creaminess reminiscent of yoghurt with fruit. The acidity even builds noticeably over the next few moments. Behind this, lemon peel and a subtle herbaceousness emerge. Fermented strawberries, a few herbs and then metallic aromas on the palate. The acidity of the nose is less noticeable on the palate, but there is a nice creamy/oily mouthfeel. Tastes like a Savanna HERR light. The next day you can clearly smell the fermented aromas in the glass."

"The first rum I tried at the 13th GRF (Opening Party), and it was a hit! I'll just say: savanna galore. At least that's what you think when you first smell it. Alcohol very well integrated. Great light rum from an Australian distillery I've never heard of before for relatively little money. A real Savanna would be at least twice as expensive."

"To be honest, I would never have thought of Australia blind. At first I immediately had an association with the Lord. For the price, I think it's a nobrainer that I'll definitely buy a bottle or two of to make daiquiris with."

"Would have blindly guessed a Savanna (high ester, overripe strawberry). A real insider tip!"

"Nase deutlich besser als am Gaumen. Am Gaumen ziemlich biestig und stechig. Die Note von Erdbeer und Milch ist aber sehr interessant und mal was neues. Pur eher nicht so meins und die Flasche wird sicher für Cocktails verwendet."

"After I had already tasted it at the GRF and found it to be very good, I finally took the time to rate it in detail. And I am still thrilled . The similarity to a HERR is quite astonishing. Chapeau to the distillery! This ester/strawberry aroma with the sweet/sour note is perfect. And now for the daiquiri"

"🍓Full broadside of strawberry yoghurt both on the nose and in the taste. There is also some white chocolate, butterscotch and pepper. Great new profile from Australia, somewhat reminiscent of Reunion Grand Arome rums. The alcohol is also perfectly integrated. But the most important thing at the end: makes a super cool daiquiri that blindly reminds you of savanna Herr! Only without the olive. Instead, intense strawberry yoghurt, white chocolate - caramel chips and funk! Surprisingly delicious, more of this please!"

"A real UFO in the world of rum. The image of strawberry "Petit Danone" yoghurt really titillates the nostrils, with its fruity, medicinal and dairy character. There are also fermented and phenolic notes on the glue, light esters and varnish. An original product that leaves no one indifferent. The palate is creamy, medicinal, a touch metallic and just as zany. The strawberry leaves a little more room for the exotic fruits one might find in yoghurts and flavored ice creams. Esters, varnish and a touch of fermentation remain, but without dominating the palate. Alcohol is well integrated. The finish is of medium length, retaining the framework present on the nose and palate, this chemical, fermented, fruity and creamy concentrate. A real surprise that may augur well for Kilik's small distillery in the years to come."

"Beautiful rum. Has a great nose, is very fruity, strawberry is to be emphasized here. Also very fruity on the palate, strawberry and yoghurt are recognizable. This rum tastes very creamy, but esters are also recognizable."

"Intense berry notes on the nose - strawberry candy! Same on the palate with a nice creamy texture. While I‘m usually not a big fan of Austrailian Rums, this unaged expression is really nice."

"Messebewertung 13. GRF. Erinnert zumindest an der Nase etwas an Savanna HERR."

"Well I was hoping for more given the reviews. The nose is a promising start of some savanna and some Jamaica but also the brine notes that so many new distilleries get with industry yeasts. Lso some dull mineral note if really earthy cachaca. The mouth is again the same of the nose with what I can only describe has heavily unbalanced alcohol. Thet end of the sipping leaves with onlz alcohol and fusel oils. Meh"

"Mon OVNI du Rhum Fest Paris 2025. Il ne laisse personne indifférent. On aime ou on déteste. Pour ma part, j'ai adoré le côté yaourt à la fraise. Un côté lactique très marqué aromatisé à la fraise. C'est très surprenant. Et j'aimerais voir ce que ça peut donner en cocktail."

"Gummy bear, candy and strawberry. It is very tasty and alcohol is very well integrated."
