Blackadder let’
s be honest about things. It’s in your head and in its my head. No doubt it gets into the head of everyone who ever buys a Blackadder Whisky or Rum and is familiar with BBC comedy.
I don’t even know whether there is any connection between the Rowan Atkinson series and this Independent bottler. Appearance wise I am certainly getting a feel of “The Black Adder” which was the first (very different) series of the popular comedy. My recollections come mainly from the 2nd and 3rd incarnations. And yes that bloody ludicrous folky theme tune………
Cane Island are a relative newcomer to the market. Last year they released a range of aged rums from Cuba, Barbados and Jamaica. These were blends of rums from two different distilleries from each location.
Rhum Neisson are a producer of Rhum Agricole from Martinique. The Extra Vieux is one of Neisson’s aged products. The company also produces a number of white rhums.
Released late in 2016 The Copper Stills is the second in the Origin Series from Bajan rum producers Mount Gay. Origins Volume 2 focuses on the differing styles of rum produced from a traditional Pot and Column still.
Another Independent bottling and another rum from Bristol Classic Rum. Bristol’s Caribbean Collection is actually a blend of Trini only rums. As you can see from the bottle shot to the right.
from Habitation Velier. This time we are seeing Velier partnering up with Worthy Park Estate in Jamaica for this release.
World’s End Rum Dark Spiced. Now if I was going from name alone I would assume that this Belgian Spiced Rum was after some of the Kraken’s market share. Perhaps another a Black Magic style knock off?
