Awin. Originally set up in February 2014. Our idea at thefatrumpirate.com was to establish a site which would offer well written, knowledgeable and independent rum reviews.
Over the course of 2014 interest and awareness in the site began to grow steadily. Kind words from readers and fellow enthusiasts were reinforced by positive feedback from within the industry.
Our reviews featured on several companies websites and social media. These include established giants such as Pusser’s and El Dorado as well as relative newcomers Pirates Grog and La Hechicera.
We were the first UK (and quite possibly the world) review site to put two of the biggest new rums of 2014 to the test. Namely Bacardi Gran Reserva Maestro de Ron and Pusser’s Spiced.
This was all achieved despite not approaching the companies involved for free product. All our rums have been reviewed by a rum lover from a consumer point of view.
Over the coming year we will continue to build upon our portfolio of rum reviews but we are also going to expand the site beyond just that. We are now active on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Google+ and will ensure that each medium offers unique features for our visitors.
So if you are interested in rum please look out for thefatrumpirate.com logo. Wherever there is rum we’ll be there!
