The judges said Goldstone's White Rum was 'A white rum elegant and smooth on nose and palate with herbaceous hints and sweet finish.'

Goldstone Rum ferments and distils rum from four types of sugar - fresh sugar cane juice, panela, jaggery and molasses from their distillery in Henfield. They believe in making rum using only natural ingredients without any hidden additives or flavourings.
