Bacardi Major Lazer. A Limited Edition rum from the Puerto Rican rum powerhouse. Prior to this review I had no idea who/what Major Lazer is/are. For some reason I pictured some kind of dancehall/reggae musician like Shaggy or Beanie Man. Quite why I have no real idea.
Major Lazer are (Wikipedia tells me) “an electronic music trio composed of record producer Diplo, and DJs Jillionaire and Walshy Fire. It’s music spans numerous genres, mixing reggae with dancehall, reggaeton, soca, house and moombahton (no clue either).”
A.H Riise XO Reserve Rum. A highly popular rum brand particular in Denmark. I have previously reviewed A.H Riise’s 40% Navy Rum. In that review I gave some information regarding the brands (so called) history etc. The review is 
Rum Nation Rare Rums Engenho Novo. Rum Nation are an Italian Independent bottler. Their “Rare Rums” series is a new venture by them in 2017. They have released a number of rums in this series. They are noted as being “Small Batch” rather than Single Cask.
Dictador Distillery Icon Reserve Aged 20 Years Solera System Rum. Quite a mouthful but thats what they’ve put on the label. Quite how Aged 20 Years and “Solera System Rum” works is anyones guess, however.
Bacardi Reserva Limitada has long been Bacardi’s most “Premium” offering. As seems to be the way with “Premium” rum producers rather than do anything remotely interesting, different or innovative they tend to just re-hash the same old thing. Repeating the same things which initially gave them success. Which kind of becomes a bit boring.
Ron Cartavio Solera 12 Years, hails like Paddington Bear from Peru. Whether it is deepest darkest Peru I am not quite sure but its definitely Peru. Alongside Ron Cartavio sits Ron Millonario as Peru’s other notable rum.
Santiago de Cuba 12 Anos Extra Anejo is rumoured to have been Fidel Castro’s favourite rum. Which is interesting. A lot of the reasons why researching Cuban rum can be so complex is down to him and his revolution!
