I’m reviewing a rum from the Transcontinental Rum Line for the first time today. This release is in conjunction with The Whisky Exchange and is available exclusively via them (as the title of this review suggests!)
This seems a little strange as the Transcontinental Rum Line is actually the Independent bottling arm of La Maison du Whisky. Which is a French physical and online retail store. It is of sorts the equivalent of The Whisky Exchange in the UK. They have have ties to Velier as well.
Raising Glasses Pelée’s Fury Martinique Grand Arôme Rum. A bit of a rarity for me. In that I am reviewing something from an Independent Bottler from the US.
It is fair to say that the “Europeans” have quite a monopoly when it comes to Independent bottlings and access to the casks to produce them. The largest rum broker E.A Scheer/The Main Rum Company have their two main warehouses in Amsterdam and Liverpool.
House of Rum Trinidad Rum 2012. Today we have a new Independent bottler. Based here in the UK under the spotlight. Step forward House of Rum…….
I had actually come across this brand prior to being aware they were bottling Single Cask offerings. Of which this Trinidad 2012 is one of. I noticed a couple of their blends on Amazon (of all places) – a White Filtered and a more Aged Blend, if memory serves me correctly. They were quite reasonably priced and the packaging was quite distinct.
Worthy Park Single Barrel Series Aged 6 Years TWE Exclusive.
Today we are looking at a Jamaican rum from Worthy Park Distillery. A producer which I am rather fond of and have covered pretty extensively, over the years.
I initially began reviewing Worthy Park when they re-started distribution to the UK back in the late 2010’s. It is nice to see how the brand has grown and evolved since then.
Bedford Park Caroni 1998. This rum is actually labelled as Bedford Park Single Barrel Trinidad Rum. I usually go with the detail on the bottle label when “naming” my reviews.
However, the company have this listed as Caroni 1998 online and I figure that will likely entice more readers/potential purchasers. So I’ve gone with that.
Hampden Estate 1753. A new release from Hampden Estate to commemorate the year that the distillery was founded. Initially, I expected this to be some kind of Limited Edition release. It is however going to join Hampden Estate 8 Year Old and Hampden Estate HLCF Classic in it’s “Core” range.
