Angostura Premium Rum Aged 7 Years. It’s been a long time since I have reviewed anything from Angostura or for that matter Trinidad Distillers Limited. Until a few days ago I wouldn’t have been expecting to be sitting down and reviewing this rum either.
However, we have Amazon sales to thank for todays review. I was looking for something slightly above supermarket standard as a slightly more premium mixer/sipper and found this on offer for £24.99. The way prices are going in the UK at the moment I figured it wasn’t a bad price, so I plumped for a bottle.
Lombo 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.
Foursquare 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.
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.
The Mad Monkey Distillery or the Adelaide Rum Distillery is South Australia’s pioneering rum distillery. So they tell us anyway!
Dead 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.
It 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……
