A 15 Year Old Port Mourant Rum from El Dorado released as part as their Rare Collection. The three rums in the Rare Collection were released simultaneously earlier this year.
It has been noted that the rums ages mirror three of El Dorado’s “Premium” rums. 12, 15 and 21 years old. I’m not sure whether it is entirely deliberate, nor am I totally sure if the stills used reflect the dominant rums used in each of El Dorado’s regular expressions. A spreadsheet of rums used in El Dorado rums was published a while back but has since been questioned. To be honest all are blends anyway so its academic really.
Both Kill Devil and rum from Guyana make regular appearances on these pages. Up until now, not both in the same article. Here we have another in the excellent line up of Single Cask rums from Hunter Laing’s rum offshoot.
Black Magic is a new Spiced rum to the UK market. It is imported from the US by Hi Spirits Ltd and produced in Louisville, Kentucky by Sazerac.
Dave Marsland aka Drinks Enthusiast is Brand Ambassador for Chairman’s Reserve rum, here in the UK. So (like me) he knows a decent r(h)um when he sees one. Here is a little news on another rum brand he is working his magic on.
Saint James Heritage rum. It comes in their standard tall, rectangular bottle. The name suggests some kind of retro rhum agricole, perhaps a throwback to times gone by.
A step into the familiar Berrys’ or Berry’s Bros & Rudd, alongside the unfamiliar in a Fijian rum. Quite what to expect from an 8 Year Old Fijian rum I am not sure.
Elements Eight Rum Company was founded back in 2006. We recently conducted an interview with Carl Stephenson the owner of Elements Eight. As a result of this we have been able to gain a lot of insight and information on Elements Eights rums.
