Old Jamaique Long Pond 1977. A rum older than me – just. From the Long Pond Distillery in Jamaica. A distillery which I have become increasingly interested in, over the past year or so.
Old Jamaique is a collaboration between Scottish bottling giant Ian MacLeod and the Belgian Independent bottler Corman-Collins.
Rum Coruba or Coruba Rum depending on which bottlings you are looking at, are a Jamaican rum brand. Rum Coruba 18 Years Old hails from the Appleton Estate.
Information on the brand, though reasonably plentiful is often contradictory and as a result quite unreliable. If during the course of this review I do get anything wrong please let me know. I have tried to use the most reliable looking information I could trace. At times it is as if there are two different brands with the same name.
Another Habitation Velier Hampden release. This time out its a three way collaboration which has brought this particular rum into existence. HLCF/LROK is a blend of two Hampden expressions which have both been issued individually HLCF (Hampden Light Continental Flavoured) and LROK (Light Rum Owen Kelly).
Coruba White Rum. They are a brand of rum with mixed origins. Coruba Dark is popular and widely available in the US and New Zealand. Coruba are a Jamaican rum brand (the rum used is understood to come from Appleton Estate).
The brand itself also seems to have some Swiss roots. It is for the US market owned by Campari. Coruba have a number of young “mixing” style rums in their portfolio. They have also branched out into the cheaper flavoured market.
Arnisser No7 Jamaica Rum is an independently bottled rum from Worthy Park Distillery. Arnisser hails from Germany (I think) and they have their own website.
They have bottled a number of rums as well as their own Gin and Brandy. They bottle their rum in 200ml and 500ml bottles. This 6 Year Old rum from Worthy Park was distilled in 2010. Retail price for a 500ml bottle is 26 euros. Which is very competitive. I like the idea of the 200ml bottles as well. That is a good amount of rum to try and the price is also very keen.
Habitation Velier Forsyths WP 2005 is another intrigingly named bottling from Luca Gargano and Co. Releases under the Habitation Velier moniker are coming out thick and fast. Already a 2006 WP is available to buy. With that in mind I thought I best get a review of this out quick before it sells out completely.
Here we have another independent bottling by Kill Devil (Hunter Laing) of Jamaica Rum from the Long Pond Distillery. Over the past year I have become more familiar with rums from the Long Pond distillery.
Rums such as Expressions by Old Man Rum Co. have an element of aged Pot Still rum from the Long Pond distillery and I also purchases a Duncan Taylor bottling from Long Pond shortly before Christmas 2016. Which turned out to be one of the best rums I have ever tasted.
