M&S Gran Reserva Guatemalan Plantation Rum
Gentlemans rum as its called in my house, due to my wife’s dyslexia/stupidity. Having said that perhaps it was a Freudian slip. This is another rum from Marks and Spencer. But are they offering a premium experience at a more manageable price?
This Marks and Spencer rum comes housed in a nice stubby style bottle with a high quality polished metallic screw top. Immediately it is a cut above most “supermarket” rum. The bottle has a lovely uncluttered and clear styling (it’s a bit like this blog!)
A Spiced Rum from the Foursquare distillery in Barbados. This isn’t a rum that was introduced by the distillery to compete with Sailor Jerry or Kraken, its been around a while.
At the time of buying this I hadn’t tried much in the way of Demerara Rum other than the supermarket “Navy” style rum’s. So I thought I would give this a try. It was very highly regarded on The Whisky Exchange (I get a lot of rum online due to the lack of variety and specialist shops up here in the North East).
Ahhh the French you could almost hate the entire nation for Michel Platini and his Anglophilic tendencies alone. So the French being the French they couldn’t make r(h)um the English way they had to do it their way.
