On the 14th January 2016 Demerara Distillers Limited announced their first foray into the world of Cask Strength bottlings. Except they didn’t, well not directly anyway.
As of today (15th January 2016) the only place you will readily find information relating to these releases in any kind of “official” capacity is on the Velier website. Yes I know its in Italian. So here is a translation (it’s not perfect but you should get the general message)
Banks are probably best known for their 5 and 7 Island Blends. In July 2015 Banks Rums were bought out by Bacardi. What plans Bacardi have for Banks Rum is anyones guess. So far no changes have taken place
This Banks Guyana rum is part of their Limited Edition Connoisseurs Cut range. It should not be confused with the rums from Banks DIH (Demerara Ice House) from Guyana who bottle their own range of rums – XM.
Lord Nelson’s Spiced Rum Liqueur represents the first liqueur which I have reviewed on the site. Well the first drink which is actually labelled as a liqueur anyway…….
Produced as a Naval Tribute to Lord Nelson (myth states that his body was preserved in rum for his final journey home) this is another product from the Hebridean Liqueur Company for me to review.
Silver Seal Whisky Company are independent bottlers of Whisky and to a lesser extent rums. They hail from Scotland (at least this is where the rum is bottled) and their rums and whiskies are largely available online from Whisky Antique and Rhum Excellence. Italian and French websites. They aren’t readily available in the UK. Which is just typical of the ever confusing rum world.
Cadenhead’s or Wm Cadenhead are an independent bottler of Scotch Whisky and other Fine Spirits based in Campbeltown, Argyle in Scotland. The company has been operating since 1842 and some of their more idiosyncratic blended whiskies and rums are currently available under the brands 1842 Live Cask range.
Mezan are a relatively new independent bottler. They are in Marussia Beverages portfolio (which also include’s Doorly’s). I’ve spoken with the firm so hopefully I will be able to ask them more questions etc in the near future. Their website does have a lot of good information though and showcases the brands current line up of rums.
Cadenhead’s are an independent Scotch Whisky and Spirit bottler from Campbelltown, Argyle in Scotland. They are well respected, not only for their whiskies but also for producing some legendary rums over the years. They have put out several 30 plus years old Demeraras and have a very eclectic mix of rums currently available.
