Raising Glasses Pelée’s Fury Martinique Grand Arôme Rum. A bit of a rarity for me. In that I am reviewing something from an Independent Bottler from the US.
It is fair to say that the “Europeans” have quite a monopoly when it comes to Independent bottlings and access to the casks to produce them. The largest rum broker E.A Scheer/The Main Rum Company have their two main warehouses in Amsterdam and Liverpool.
House of Rum Trinidad Rum 2012. Today we have a new Independent bottler. Based here in the UK under the spotlight. Step forward House of Rum…….
I had actually come across this brand prior to being aware they were bottling Single Cask offerings. Of which this Trinidad 2012 is one of. I noticed a couple of their blends on Amazon (of all places) – a White Filtered and a more Aged Blend, if memory serves me correctly. They were quite reasonably priced and the packaging was quite distinct.
Worthy Park Single Barrel Series Aged 6 Years TWE Exclusive.
Today we are looking at a Jamaican rum from Worthy Park Distillery. A producer which I am rather fond of and have covered pretty extensively, over the years.
I initially began reviewing Worthy Park when they re-started distribution to the UK back in the late 2010’s. It is nice to see how the brand has grown and evolved since then.
J Gow Fading Light XO. I reviewed the original J Gow Fading Light way back before COVID in 2019. Doesn’t time fly? Since then I have reviewed a few more expressions from this tiny distillery on Lamb Holm, Orkney – all positively I must add. So, today I am quite excited to be trying this longer aged variation of Fading Light.
Don Papa Rum Sherry Casks. I’ve not reviewed any Don Papa products for a while. They aren’t a brand that I would ever buy if I’m being honest.
So when it comes to getting reviews of Don Papa, I am often relying on my friends in rum circles being gifted well meaning but sadly misguided bottles which they then “invite” me to sample and review………..
That Boutique-y Rum Company Secret Distillery #11 Jamaica Aged 15 Years Batch 1. Another release from TBRC’s “Cinema Series”. This time we are heading off to a Secret Distillery in Jamaica.
Fortunately for us we are given a clue as to which Jamaican Distillery we are visiting today. This clue can be found in the bottom right hand corner of the front label.
Dead Reckoning Port Broadside. Today we have another review of a rum from Australian Independent bottlers – Dead Reckoning. They have recently expanded distribution into Europe and the US. However, this is Single Cask release for the Australian market only.
This is a blend of rums from three different “secret” distilleries. It should be noted at this point that some Rum Producers have requested that Independents do not use the distillery name on their bottlings.
