Cadenhead’s MPM Diamond Distillery Aged 14 Years. Another bottling from Cadenheads to celebrate their 175th Anniversary. This time from the Diamond Distillery or DDL (Demerara Distillers Limited). Today we are looking at a rum which was produced on the famous Port Mourant Still. We know this from the MPM legend on the label – Main Port Mourant (or something like that).

Cadenhead’s MEV Enmore Distillery. A rum from the Versaille Wooden Pot Still which at the time this rum was distilled way back in 1990 was located at the now defunct Enmore Distillery.
This rum was released as part of Cadenhead’s 175 Year Anniversary releases. It was limited to one bottle per customer. You can actually as of today (10 March 2018) is still available in the UK direct from Cadenheads.
Rabbie’s Rum – named after Scotlands most famous poet Robert “Rabbie” Burns. This particular rum was bottled by The Whisky Barrel and hails from the legendary and now defunct Uitvlugt (owt-fluct) Distillery.
One thing I have touched on before is the confusing and contradictory naming convention used by Independent bottlers when it comes to Guyanese (or even Guyanan rum – I’ve put that in as I know how it annoys Lance over at The Lone Caner).
Kill Devil Guyana Aged 12 Years. Kill Devil are a range of rums bottled by Whisky bottler Hunter-Laing. I’ve covered them quite extensively on the site so far.
They are now bottling rums at Cask Strength. The Kill Devil range now have rums with Red labels like these – to demonstrate Cask Strength. Everything else presentation wise is exactly as before.
Black Tot 40 Year Old Demerara Rum is the latest release from independent bottlers Elixir Distillers. The rum has been released to pay homage to the British Royal Navy. Unlike the original Black Tot release which was released in 2011 this is not a rum which was available to the Royal British Navy.
rockact81r Mogwai Rum is without doubt one of the oddest rums I have ever known to be bottled. This rum is not a homage to the pre-horror stage of the furry little animals in the film Gremlins.
Though the band which the rum is named after obviously did take their name from the film. Quite why a Scottish post-rock band called themselves Mogwai is one thing, quite why a Scottish post rock band would want to release a rum? I’m kind of stumped.
Mezan are in Independent bottler from the UK. This Mezan Guyana 2005 is another rum they have been able to source from DDL.
Mezan have been offering good quality Independently bottled rums from a variety of distilleries for a good number of years now. They have offered numerous vintages and marques.
