Sugar House Blood Tub Rum Vintage 2018

Sugar House Blood Tub Rum Vintage 2018 rum review by the fat rum pirateSugar House Blood Tub Rum Vintage 2018. I’ve seen a couple of reviews of this already. Now being anally retentive is not something I excel at.

So I like to try and keep my review titles as relevant and as ordered as possible. Read more to see the fatrumpirate rating

Which is partly why such bottlings are able to be aged for so long. There are a number of things to consider when ageing spirits.

Black Tot Last Consignment British Royal Naval Rum Review by the fat rum pirateBlack Tot Rum Last Consignment British Royal Naval Rum. This is the fourth release from Elixir Distillers in their “Black Tot” series that I have reviewed. It was, however the first one they released.
