Dràm Mòr Single Cask Rum Secret Fiji Distillery Aged 8 Years. We return today with another review from Scottish Independent bottler Dràm Mòr. We are taking a visit to a (not so) Secret Distillery on Fiji.
Quite why the distillery insists on their rums being marked as “Secret” when bottled by Independents is beyond me. The South Pacific Rum Distillery is the only operational distillery on the Island, that I am aware of. Certainly the only one that has stocks of rum in Europe.
Angostura Premium Rum Aged 7 Years. It’s been a long time since I have reviewed anything from Angostura or for that matter Trinidad Distillers Limited. Until a few days ago I wouldn’t have been expecting to be sitting down and reviewing this rum either.
However, we have Amazon sales to thank for todays review. I was looking for something slightly above supermarket standard as a slightly more premium mixer/sipper and found this on offer for £24.99. The way prices are going in the UK at the moment I figured it wasn’t a bad price, so I plumped for a bottle.
Foursquare Magisterium. The latest (unless they have snuck another one out in the last few days) in the increasingly prolific Exceptional Cask Series from Foursquare Rum Distillery, Barbados.
I can’t say Magisterium is a word I have come across before. According to the Collins English Dictionary it relates to the teaching authority or function of the Roman Catholic Church. I dare say this particular name may be a bit of side swipe at another rum producer…….
The Mad Monkey Distillery or the Adelaide Rum Distillery is South Australia’s pioneering rum distillery. So they tell us anyway!
The Mad Monkey Distillery opened in 2020. So is a relatively young operation. It was opened by Scott McCarthy and Alec McDowall. The pair originally met back in 2018 at a distillers conference in Adelaide.
Dead Reckoning Rum The Black Pit. Had I not included “rum” in the title you might have thought I was about to review some kind of low budget/straight to Netflix horror/slasher movie. You can rest easy in that respect. I’m definitely not heading down that route. That said The “Real” Black Pit was indeed a bit of a horror story for anyone who became familiar with it.
Dead Reckoning T.C.B. Another release from Australian Indie bottlers Dead Reckoning. This time we have a Three Continent Blend (T.C.B.) rather than a rum from a single distillery or even rums from the same Continent.
In this particularly bottling we have rums from South America, Asia and Africa. So three different continents. The rums are sourced from Guyana (South America), Vietnam (Asia) and finally South Africa (Africa).
Black Tot Rum Master Blender’s Reserve 2024. It seems only fitting to be reviewing the latest release of “Black Tot Rum Master Blender’s Reserve 2024 today, which is of course Black Tot Day.
It has been 5 years since the Black Tot brand launched their 50th Anniversary Blend to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the abolition of the daily Rum Ration in the British Navy. Black Tot Day 31st July 1970.
