This is a Jamaican Rum from Worthy Park – hence the JMWP (JaMaica Worthy Park). Worthy Park only re-opened and began distilling rum again in 2005 so this is a bottling which comes from their first year of production.
Cadenhead’s have been bottling rum for quite some time now. They release a number of rums at 46% ABV as part of their Green Label series. For the more serious rum drinker they also have their Cask Strength Dated Distillation series. Which this bottlings is a part of.
Ultimatum Rum Fiji Secret Distillery is not quite as mysterious as it sounds. There is currently only one working commercial distillery on Fiji. So its not really much of a secret.

Skotlander Handcrafted Rum V 1,400 SØMIL is perhaps the most bizarrely named rum I have reviewed so far. The strange name owes mostly to the way it has been aged. When translated into English and the story is told it does make a lot more sense. Even if the way the rum has been aged is a little baffling…….
