House of Rum Barbados Rum 2010 Foursquare Distillery. If i have one negative thing to say about Independent bottlers and it is something that is consistent across 99% of them………
They play hell with the titles for my reviews. You see I need to put the name of the bottler, the name of the vintage and the name of the distillery. If I don’t include one of these I feel like I’ve left out vital information. Occasionally I feel the need to add the cask number. Sometimes even if its a collaborative bottle who its been bottled for.
Don Papa Baroko. Every now and again a bottle or sample arrives that I know is going to be good for a review but not necessarily good for me. I usually try to hide my opinion on a rum but I can imagine a good many of you have clicked, expecting the worst. Or best depending on how you see such reviews.
Dead Reckoning “The Bosun’s Persuader” Barbados. Over the past few years Dead Reckoning have developed a bit of a reputation for bottling rums from Foursquare Distillery.
Ron Barceló Imperial Onyx.
Raising Glasses Jablesse Trinidad 21 Year Old. I’m reviewing another bottling from US Independent bottler Raising Glasses today. This was originally released in 2024 and is now sold out.
House of Rum Panama 2004. Today we are returning to Central America courtesy of House of Rum with a bottling sourced from Varela Hermanos Distillery. Rather than the mythical Las Cabras Distillery of Don Pancho fame.
