Lombo do Lombo Rum da Madeira 2023

Lombo do Lombo Rum da Madeira 2023 rum review by the fat rum pirateLombo do Lombo Rum da Madeira 2023. The brand name will likely be unfamiliar to you. Unless, of course you have been fortunate enough to attend one of Peter Holland’s (thefloatingrumshack) masterclasses in Southern England over the past year or so.

However, the name O Reizinho may be more familiar to yourselves. After the William Hinton brand they are the second most recognised Madeiran rum brand I would say. This bottling a collaboration between O Reizinho distillery and local sugarcane farmers Chris and Liz Stevenson. Read more to see the fatrumpirate rating

Foursquare Magisterium

Foursquare Magisterium rum review by the fat rum pirateFoursquare Magisterium. The latest (unless they have snuck another one out in the last few days) in the increasingly prolific Exceptional Cask Series from Foursquare Rum Distillery, Barbados.

I can’t say Magisterium is a word I have come across before. According to the Collins English Dictionary it relates to the teaching authority or function of the Roman Catholic Church. I dare say this particular name may be a bit of side swipe at another rum producer……. Read more to see the fatrumpirate rating

Sampan Rhum Vietnam

Sampan Rhum Vietnam. I aways like it, when I am reviewing something from a distillery that I haven’t touched upon previously. It makes the “introduction” section so much easier. Today, I am reviewing my first ever r(h)um from Vietnam.

Located right on the seafront, just metres from the beach stands Distillerie d’Indochine. The Owner and Master Distiller Anotine Poircuitte has over 35 years of experience in the field of wine and spirits so the website tells us!. Read more to see the fatrumpirate rating

Dead Reckoning Rum The Black Pit

Dead Reckoning Rum The Black Pit Rum Review by the fat rum pirateDead Reckoning Rum The Black Pit. Had I not included “rum” in the title you might have thought I was about to review some kind of low budget/straight to Netflix horror/slasher movie. You can rest easy in that respect. I’m definitely not heading down that route. That said The “Real” Black Pit was indeed a bit of a horror story for anyone who became familiar with it. Read more to see the fatrumpirate rating

Worst Ten Rums……So Far 2024 Edition

Worst Rums.....So Far 2024 by the fat rum pirateIt was way back in November 2017 when I first published a list of the “Worst Ten Rums”. By this point the website had been active for around 3 and a half years. Fast forward to 2024 and I thought it would be interesting to see how a Ten Worst Rums might look now……

Now, I will be publishing this in various rum groups on Facebook as well as here on the website. So I am going to outline the criteria used when compiling this list. I know fine well that this will still not stop people commenting, without first reading this introduction. It might however save me from having to shake my head and roll my eyes at least once!

Dead Reckoning T.C.B.

Dead Reckoning T.C.B. Rum review by the fat rum pirateDead Reckoning T.C.B. Another release from Australian Indie bottlers Dead Reckoning. This time we have a Three Continent Blend (T.C.B.) rather than a rum from a single distillery or even rums from the same Continent.

In this particularly bottling we have rums from South America, Asia and Africa. So three different continents. The rums are sourced from Guyana (South America), Vietnam (Asia) and finally South Africa (Africa). Read more to see the fatrumpirate rating
