El Dorado Aged 12 Years Finest Demerara Rum

El Dorado Aged 12 Years Finest Demerara Rum review by the fat rum pirateEl Dorado Aged 12 Years Finest Demerara Rum. It has been quite a while since I last reviewed any of the rums from El Dorado’s “core” range.

Since then there have been revelations that they age their rum in barrels which have been coated in caramel. Rather than “adding sugar” post distillation. Whether this is true or not I’m not entirely sure. They seem to have miraculously managed to produce their 12, 15 and 21 year old rums without any interruption, with considerably less “additives” since the EU 20g/L limit was imposed…….not sure how they could have uncoated so many barrels?

Cargo Cult Navy Strength Rum

Cargo Cult Navy Strength Rum review by the fat rum pirateCargo Cult Navy Strength Rum. Cargo Cult Navy Strength Rum. I last reviewed an offering from the Cargo Cult stable way back in 2018.

At the time it was their only rum on the market. It was heralded as a “sugar free” Dry Spiced Rum. Fast forward to 2024 and they have a Banana flavoured rum but they have also released their first “straight” rum. This Navy Strength offering which I am reviewing today.

Dead Reckoning Barbados PX

Dead Reckoning Barbados PX rum review by the fat rum pirateDead Reckoning Barbados PX. We continue our recent reviews of Independent bottlers with a review from the other side of the world. Today we have a rum from Aussie bottlers Dead Reckoning. I’ve covered quite a few of their releases over the past few years.

The bottling I have in my hands today is a Barbados rum. A mix of Pot and Column distilled rum from……..you guessed it Foursquare Rum Distillery. Without doubt the “hottest” rum distillery around at the moment. Read more to see the fatrumpirate rating

Dràm Mòr Single Cask Rum Secret Fiji Distillery Aged 8 Years

Dràm Mòr Single Cask Rum Secret Fiji Distillery Aged 8 Years review by the fat rum pirateDràm Mòr Single Cask Rum Secret Fiji Distillery Aged 8 Years. We return today with another review from Scottish Independent bottler Dràm Mòr. We are taking a visit to a (not so) Secret Distillery on Fiji.

Quite why the distillery insists on their rums being marked as “Secret” when bottled by Independents is beyond me. The South Pacific Rum Distillery is the only operational distillery on the Island, that I am aware of. Certainly the only one that has stocks of rum in Europe.

Angostura Premium Rum Aged 7 Years

Angostura Premium Rum Aged 7 Years rum review by the fat rum pirateAngostura Premium Rum Aged 7 Years. It’s been a long time since I have reviewed anything from Angostura or for that matter Trinidad Distillers Limited.  Until a few days ago I wouldn’t have been expecting to be sitting down and reviewing this rum either.

However, we have Amazon sales to thank for todays review. I was looking for something slightly above supermarket standard as a slightly more premium mixer/sipper and found this on offer for £24.99.  The way prices are going in the UK at the moment I figured it wasn’t a bad price, so I plumped for a bottle.

Lombo do Lombo Rum da Madeira 2023

Lombo do Lombo Rum da Madeira 2023 rum review by the fat rum pirateLombo do Lombo Rum da Madeira 2023. The brand name will likely be unfamiliar to you. Unless, of course you have been fortunate enough to attend one of Peter Holland’s (thefloatingrumshack) masterclasses in Southern England over the past year or so.

However, the name O Reizinho may be more familiar to yourselves. After the William Hinton brand they are the second most recognised Madeiran rum brand I would say. This bottling a collaboration between O Reizinho distillery and local sugarcane farmers Chris and Liz Stevenson. Read more to see the fatrumpirate rating
