Geographic Indications (GIs) : The Barbados Rum GI Explained
The proposed Barbados Rum Geographical Indication (GI) sets out to define what can legally be labelled as “Barbados Rum”.
A geographical indication identifies products whose characteristics, reputation, or quality are essentially attributable to their place of origin. In this case, the GI aims to ensure that Barbados Rum reflects production on the island itself.
Geographic Indications (GIs) : The Jamaican Rum GI Explained
A Geographical Indication (GI) is a form of intellectual property linking a product to a specific geographic origin and production method. For Jamaica, a GI was registered for “Jamaican Rum” in 2016 by the Jamaica Intellectual Property Office (JIPO) and is administered by the Spirits Pool Association, which represents rum producers on the island.
Geographic Indications (GIs): What Frameworks Exist?
Rum has no rules. So the story goes. The story isn’t true though. Not entirely at least. Today I’ll show you what rules do exist. Mostly.
You see what I’ll be covering today as a follow up to my earlier article Geographic Indications (GIs): The End of Creative Geography in the Rum World will be the “the rules”.
Best Value Rums on the UK Market – Jamaica. I’ve been considering an article on “Best Value Rums” for some time. Following my Rum of the Year article, I’ve received a lot of requests for a post focusing on cheaper or value for money rums.
I think people are beginning to feel a little priced out of certain types of rum. I’m hoping this will help people seek out some genuinely good rum without breaking the bank. I’m also hoping some of the selections will help people who might feel they are missing out. You don’t need to be paying £100 for a Hampden DOK Single Cask rum to experience Jamaican rum
Rum of the Year 2019 – Winner. No doubt the brands/producers shortlisted for this most prestigious award have been waiting with baited breath for this announcement. Winning this award must truly be the pinnacle of any rum producers career. After all you get absolutely nothing other than a pat on the back from me. Not even a fancy awards ceremony to ponce around at.
Firstly many apologies for taking so long to finally write this piece. Links to the other parts of this article, will appear at the bottom of the screen. It has taken some prodding (thanks Lance) and some real thought, to finally complete this series of articles. Yes, two years is far too long to wait for this and I apologise. I hate leaving things unfinished. So I finally thought f*ck it I’ll just write what I think and see what happens. God knows I have done it plenty of times before. I’ll also apologise in case there is any repetition from previous articles. I do get carried away sometimes. So here goes…..
Both the names of Mark Reynier and Renegade Rum may already be familiar to many of you readers. Undoubtedly more famous in the Whisk(e)y world than in the world of Rum Mark Reynier, has built a reputation for being a bit of a maverick.
Best known for his stint as CEO of Bruichladdich. He resurrected the abandoned distillery and soon Bruichladdich was famous for its exotic (at the time) wine cask finished whiskies. Reynier himself was gaining a reputation as an innovator and spoke of “terroir” in whisky way before such things became trendy. He also succeeded in pissing off the Scotch Whisky Association along the way as well.
