Cor Cor Green – Okinawan Rum. Cor Cor is a relatively new rum brand from Japan. More specifically the Japanese island of South Borodino, Minamidaito, Okinawa. I can’t say I’m familiar with the region either. Japanese geography isn’t my strongest subject.
The company responsible for Cor Cor Green are the Grace Rum Company Ltd, formed in 2004. Although the company is young, the tradition of growing sugar cane on the island dates back hundreds of years.
Ultimatum Sancti Spiritus 1999 Cuban Rum. Ultimatum are a relatively new bottler. Most of their products are coming out of Dutch retailers so I assume they are based somewhere around there. Ultimatum Rum seems to be an off-shoot of the Little Distiller.
They have released a number of bottlings over the past year or so (I have a few more yet to review) and have received generally positive feedback for their efforts. The first thing they have been commended on is the price. They are very reasonably priced.
Rum Coruba or Coruba Rum depending on which bottlings you are looking at, are a Jamaican rum brand. Rum Coruba 18 Years Old hails from the Appleton Estate.
Information on the brand, though reasonably plentiful is often contradictory and as a result quite unreliable. If during the course of this review I do get anything wrong please let me know. I have tried to use the most reliable looking information I could trace. At times it is as if there are two different brands with the same name.
Bounty Rum is something of a staple rum in its homeland the island of Saint Lucia. Finding a bottle of this rum become something of an obsession for the completist in me. I’ve always had a soft spot for Saint Lucia Distilers (SLD) and I’ve wanted to try this rum for a long time.
Finally I found a bottle at Drinks Supermarket here in the UK. Complete with HMRC customs stamp on the actual label. Suggesting that this was at one point distributed in the UK. Indeed it was imported by the current SLD Importer Emporia Brands. Quite how old this bottle is I’m not sure. I suspect it is stock that Drinks Supermarket stumbled across in their warehouse after forgetting they had the odd bottle.
Trois Rivieres Cuvee de Moulin – Rough translation Three Rivers Blend of the Mill. Is a limited edtion expression from Martinique producer Trois Rivieres.
It is a blend of rums carefully matured for over three years in ex Cognac and Bourbon casks. Marketed as a “rhum vieux agricole” – aged. The producer advises it can be sipped neat or mixed in cocktails.
Kill Devil Guyana Aged 12 Years. Kill Devil are a range of rums bottled by Whisky bottler Hunter-Laing. I’ve covered them quite extensively on the site so far.
They are now bottling rums at Cask Strength. The Kill Devil range now have rums with Red labels like these – to demonstrate Cask Strength. Everything else presentation wise is exactly as before.
Ron Montero is a rum producer from Motril, Spain. Ron Montero Gran Reserva is the premium end of their regular line up of rums. They also released a “Super Premium” rum to celebrate 50 years of rum making the “Ron Francisco Montero”.
In 1963 the Ron Montero distillery was founded by the Montero-Martin family. The family had been cultivating sugar cane for three generations. Finally the owner Don Francisco Montero-Martin decided to produce rum.
