Raising Glasses Clouded Leopard Renaissance Distillery Bordeaux CaskRaising Glasses Clouded Leopard Renaissance Distillery Bordeaux Cask. Rums from Renaissance Distillery have been attracting a lot of attention among rum enthusiasts over the last few years.

Located in southern Taiwan, the distillery has built something of a cult reputation for producing bold, experimental pot-still rums using long fermentations, dunder and unusual maturation casks. Production numbers are tiny and most bottles rarely leave Taiwan, which only adds to the mystique surrounding the brand. Read more to see the fatrumpirate rating

DropWorks Distillers Drop #001

DropWorks Distillers Drop #001 rum review by the fat rum pirateDropWorks Distillers Drop #001. DropWorks are one of those new‑wave British rum distilleries determined to prove the UK can do more than just drink rum badly.

Distillers Drop #001 is their first proper “let’s have a play and see what happens” release. Instead of oak, they’ve gone with English Sweet Chestnut which, if you’ve never had rum from Chestnut before should give things a softer, sweeter and nuttier edge. It’s not common in rum.

House of Rum Barbados Rum 2010 Foursquare Distillery

House of Rum Barbados Rum 2010 Foursquare Distillery review by the fat rum pirateHouse of Rum Barbados Rum 2010 Foursquare Distillery. If i have one negative thing to say about Independent bottlers and it is something that is consistent across 99% of them………

They play hell with the titles for my reviews. You see I need to put the name of the bottler, the name of the vintage and the name of the distillery. If I don’t include one of these I feel like I’ve left out vital information. Occasionally I feel the need to add the cask number. Sometimes even if its a collaborative bottle who its been bottled for. Read more to see the fatrumpirate rating

No added sugar. No E150 and non-chill filtered. Just rum that tastes like the place it came from. You can tell they have links to the Scotch Whisky world simply by the phrase “non chill filtered” I can almost here Ralfy uttering those very same words. Read more to see the fatrumpirate rating

Foursquare Mandamus

Foursquare Mandamus. Here we have another word that I never heard or come across before………Mandamus is Latin for “we command”, a legal term referring to a court order compelling action.Foursquare Mandamus Rum Review by the fat rum pirate

It’s a suitably assertive name, and one that feels very much in keeping with the Foursquare ECS range. These releases no longer arrive as curiosities or experiments, they arrive with a certain expectation attached. Foursquare Mandamus is not here to introduce anyone to the Foursquare Rum Distillery, nor is it designed to broaden its appeal. It assumes a certain level of familiarity and interest from the outset. It knows its target audience. Read more to see the fatrumpirate rating

Don Papa Baroko

Don Papa Baroko Rum Review by the fat rum pirateDon Papa Baroko. Every now and again a bottle or sample arrives that I know is going to be good for a review but not necessarily good for me. I usually try to hide my  opinion on a rum but I can imagine a good many of you have clicked, expecting the worst. Or best depending on how you see such reviews.
