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.
Dead Reckoning South Pacific 2 Year. Today I’ll be taking a look at another offering from Australian Independent bottler Dead Reckoning. This time they have bottled another rum from the South Pacific Distillery, which is to be found on the
island of Fiji.
Despite the quality of the rums from this distillery, they never seem to have “broken” the international market with their own recognisable brand. So the flag of South Pacific Distillery has often been flown by Independent bottlers. With Berry Bros & Rudd, S.B.S. and now Dead Reckoning being just some of the more prolific bottlers of such rum.
Black Tot Historic Solera Rum This is the latest release in the Black Tot portfolio. I am always a little apprehensive when I see the term “Solera” being used in Rum. I think it is fair to say that a number of producers make claims they are using a “Solera” method when, in truth they are doing no such thing.

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.
