Ron Caney Anejo Centuria – another Cuban rum I picked up in Spain. Which seems to be the place to go if you want lower to mid level Cuban rum. At a very reasonable price.
As with a lot of Cuban rums information is a little sketchy. Some information online seem to suggest this a blend of rums aged between 5 and 9 years. Other resources denote it being a 7 year old rum.
The Infamous Rum No. 01 is a Spiced Rum which hails from Belgium. This Spiced Rum has been created by Infamous Designs and Concepts who bill themselves as Private Label Creators. As to be excepted from such an operation they have a website.
The brand unsurprisingly offers a very slick, modern appearance. Having said that they haven’t went down the story-telling route of other Spiced Rum brands. They are actually giving more information on the actual rum than 99% of Spiced Rum Brands. The Infamous Rum No. 01 is currently only available in limited quantities, mostly in Belgium and the Netherlands. They are looking to upscale production to keep up with demand.
Kill Devil Guyana Aged 12 Years. Kill Devil are a range of rums bottled by Whisky bottler Hunter-Laing. I’ve covered them quite extensively on the site so far.
They are now bottling rums at Cask Strength. The Kill Devil range now have rums with Red labels like these – to demonstrate Cask Strength. Everything else presentation wise is exactly as before.
Ron Montero is a rum producer from Motril, Spain. Ron Montero Gran Reserva is the premium end of their regular line up of rums. They also released a “Super Premium” rum to celebrate 50 years of rum making the “Ron Francisco Montero”.
In 1963 the Ron Montero distillery was founded by the Montero-Martin family. The family had been cultivating sugar cane for three generations. Finally the owner Don Francisco Montero-Martin decided to produce rum.
Coruba White Rum. They are a brand of rum with mixed origins. Coruba Dark is popular and widely available in the US and New Zealand. Coruba are a Jamaican rum brand (the rum used is understood to come from Appleton Estate).
The brand itself also seems to have some Swiss roots. It is for the US market owned by Campari. Coruba have a number of young “mixing” style rums in their portfolio. They have also branched out into the cheaper flavoured market.
Cadenhead’s FSPD is another Cask Strength bottling from in their Dated Distillation range. This time hailing from the South Pacific Distillery, Fiji.
To date I haven’t tried a lot of rum from Fiji. The only Fijian rum reviewed thus far have been Independently bottled from Berrys’ and Ultimatum. The Berrys’ rum was considerably younger than this one at only 8 years old. The Ultimatum more similar in terms of age, at 12 years old.
Foursquare Rum Distillery Triptych. Another collaboration between Velier and Foursquare. Definitely not an independent bottling. Don’t let Richard hear you saying otherwise!
Released in the guise of a “regular” Velier bottling rather than the Habitation Velier label, this is a follow up if you like to last years Foursquare 2006.
