The rum is sealed with red wax with ES (English Spirit) emblazoned on the top of the bottle. English Spirit is the name of the distillery which produces the rum. The distillery is based in Cambridgeshire. The rum is sealed (once you get into the wax) with a synthetic cork stopper. The 50cl (not 70cl) bottle is taller and thinner than most. It will require carefully handling as it will be quite easily knocked over. The styling of the bottle, in keeping with the Pirate theme is very similar to Patron’s Pyrat Pistol rum. The packaging of which is supposed to evoke the image of the firearms a Pirate would have used. The rum retails at around £25 per bottle. I’ve yet to find it in a store but its available very easily online in the UK (maybe less so abroad).
Ahh Mount Gay that “hilariously” named rum that often leads to a myriad of puerile double entendres and unfunny jokes. Staple of Airport Duty Free’s and increasingly more and more present on the supermarket shelves in the UK. More often than not discounted by a few pounds from its £18 price tag.
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.
