Hailing from Jamaica comes Koko Kanu. Which is a first on this site as its a flavoured, rather than a “Spiced” rum. Distilled by J Wray and Nephew it certainly should have a solid rum at the heart of it.
In the UK Malibu is without doubt the most popular Coconut “rum” but at only 21% it falls massively short of what can be labelled a rum. In reality it is little more than a Coconut and rum liqueur. Like Koko Kanu it also has a decent base rum as it is produced at West Indies Rum Distillery (WIRD) home of Cockspur Rum. The Malibu brand (12 flavours now available worldwide) is owned by Pernod Ricard.
Plantation Rum should need little introduction. Part of Cognac Ferrand, they finish and/or age rum they procure from all around the globe in cognac and other wine casks.
J Wray and Nephew’s White Overproof Rum is highly acclaimed and widely available just about everywhere.
Bristol Classic Rum have certainly increased their portfolio over the past few years. This rum represents an aged expression from the rejuventated Worthy Park Estate.
Appleton Estate 21 Year Old Rum will be for many the top of the tree in terms of Appleton tasting.
Rum-Bar Rum Cream from Worthy Park Estate, Jamaica. Until recently only rums and spiced rums have featured for review on the site.
