Worthy Park Special Cask Release Oloroso. It was around 3 years ago I first tried Worthy Park’s “Rum Bar” range. A gold, white overproof and a Rum Cream. At the time I wanted more. I wanted to try some aged Worthy Park juice.
Due to the lack of, at the time “official” Worthy Park aged releases I found myself at the mercy of the Independent bottler. Fortunately I found some bottlings that were much better than the Bacardi Single Cane effort (which they “dosed”) from the likes of Bristol Classic Rum and Kill Devil to name but a few.
Plantation Haiti XO. A Single Cask bottling for the Mercury Bar. The Mercury Bar is a bar/restaurant in London W4 as far as I am aware anyway. It could be a number of other places all around the world. Until I’m told otherwise I’ll stick with the one in London.
Ron Cartavio Anejo. I picked this bottling from Peruvian rum producer Cartavio up in Mallorca. Hence the more “exotic” looking photo. This photo was definitely not taken in sunny Sunderland!
ABOUT Brazil Organic Cachaca Silver. In Cachaca you will see the term “organic” used quite a bit. Cachaca producers seem very keen to tell you how organic/natural their products are. Not to mention Environmentally Friendly. About Brazil is a relatively new Cachaca brand with an eye on European distribution.
JAH45 Dark Rum Jamaican Rum. JAH45 is newly formed brand focusing on Jamaican rum. It is spearheaded by Carl Stephenson who is the man behind the Elements Eight range of rums. Carl previously worked for Jamaican rum powerhouse J Wray and Nephew. This new venture sees him pitting hit wits against them.
Cachaca de Salinas Piragibana. The secrets of Mr. Juvenito. This Premium Cachaca has been produced since 1974 and was originally produced by Senhor Deka of “Havana” (another very well regarded Premium Cachaca – we will review that soon) alongside Ney Correa, who passed on his great knowledge of Cachaca to Juventino Gomes de Miranda.
John Frum’s Cargo Cult Spiced Rum. This is a Spiced Rum which has been making a few waves in the UK. This is partly due to it being available in Marks and Spencer. It is also available at the travelling “The Rum Festival” events – where it is proving very popular with consumers.
