Don Q Signature Release for 2016 is a Single Barrel rum from 2005. Don Q are amongst a number of producers who are making noises about “no addtives” in their rum. They freely invite you to test their wares as they know they have not added anything.
Despite this I still notice a lot of scepticism in the rum community concerning Don Q rums. Much of this based on the fact they produce multi column distilled rums. All I will say to those sceptical about their rums is try one, especially their Anejo or Gran Anejo.
Another rum from the Kill Devil Single Cask range. This time hailing from Barbados. This bottling is identified as being from the Foursquare Distillery.
Expressions is the first in a series of Aged Pot Still Rums, to be released by the newly formed Old Man Rum Co.
WM Cadenhead or Cadenhead’s are an independent Whisky, Rum and Gin bottler from Scotland. The bottling up for review today is a Cask Strength release from 2015. It is pretty much sold out now and hard to find.
Rhum Rhum is a collaboration between Luca Gargano of Velier and Master Distiller Vittorio Capovilla.
Barceló are one of the “big three” Dominican rum producers along with Bermudez and Brugal.
Ron Cubay Anejo is a Cuban rum. In 1964 Ron Cubay was founded in Santo Domingo, Villa Clara. Ron Cubay rums are produced by Cuba Ron S.A which also produce Havana Club. The Ron Cubay brand was only ever intended for domestic consumption, hence the reason that we are only just seeing it in the UK with it only having a presence in Europe since around 2010.
