Cassario Golden Rum. I reviewed a “Gold Rum” from the Cassario brand a few years ago.It was 2022 to be precise. Back then, discount supermarket ALDI were offering a 7 Year Old Costa Rican rum at £17.99. In the current “cost of living” crisis they are now stocking a NAS “Barbados Golden Rum” from an un-named distillery at £16.99.

Don Q Reserva Anejo 7 Anos. The Don Q range has undertaken quite a re-vamp over the past few years. They have both expanded and re-categorised their range of rums.
So we now have the “Traditional Range” which comprises their Gold, Cristal and 151 rum. The “Flavors” comprising Naranja, Coco, PIna and Limon. Finally we have the “Serralles Collection” which seems to house pretty much everything else.
Foursquare Convocation. If like myself you have a fairly limited lexicon with regards to Latin and words derived from it you’ll have no idea what a Convocation might be. It might not even come from Latin for all I know.
It does actually (maybe I’m not so thick after all) according to the gospel which is Wikipedia
Rhum Bielle Canne Grise. It is increasingly rare that I am “out and about” in actual physical spirit stores. Locally I am fortunate to have a shop which is near to my place of work which stocks a lot of rum that they source from The Whisky Exchange. So they usually have a bottle or two that I can pick up should I not wish to wait for a delivery.
Millions of Peaches 3 Year Old Manx Rum. I am reviewing my first rum from Outlier Distilling Company today. Outlier are based on the Isle of Man in the deep dark Irish Sea .I’ve got quite a few reviews coming from Outlier Distilling Company so I will save the geography lesson for another time.
I’m reviewing a rum from the Transcontinental Rum Line for the first time today. This release is in conjunction with The Whisky Exchange and is available exclusively via them (as the title of this review suggests!)
This seems a little strange as the Transcontinental Rum Line is actually the Independent bottling arm of La Maison du Whisky. Which is a French physical and online retail store. It is of sorts the equivalent of The Whisky Exchange in the UK. They have have ties to Velier as well.
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.
