Worst Ten Rums……So Far 2024 Edition

Worst Rums.....So Far 2024 by the fat rum pirateIt was way back in November 2017 when I first published a list of the “Worst Ten Rums”. By this point the website had been active for around 3 and a half years. Fast forward to 2024 and I thought it would be interesting to see how a Ten Worst Rums might look now……

Now, I will be publishing this in various rum groups on Facebook as well as here on the website. So I am going to outline the criteria used when compiling this list. I know fine well that this will still not stop people commenting, without first reading this introduction. It might however save me from having to shake my head and roll my eyes at least once!

Dead Reckoning T.C.B.

Dead Reckoning T.C.B. Rum review by the fat rum pirateDead Reckoning T.C.B. Another release from Australian Indie bottlers Dead Reckoning. This time we have a Three Continent Blend (T.C.B.) rather than a rum from a single distillery or even rums from the same Continent.

In this particularly bottling we have rums from South America, Asia and Africa. So three different continents. The rums are sourced from Guyana (South America), Vietnam (Asia) and finally South Africa (Africa). Read more to see the fatrumpirate rating

DropWorks Clear Drop Rum

DropWorks Clear Drop Rum review by the fat rum pirateDropWorks Clear Drop Rum. Over the past 10 years the number of distilleries in the UK has grown rapidly. Whilst a lot of these have been riding the Gin craze and creating Vodka and (Spiced) Rum as a side project, a number are increasingly focusing more on rum.

One such distillery is the DropWorks Distillery based in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, England. Which also claims to be the largest distillery in Europe. Capable of producing 2 million bottles of rum per year and up to 10 barrels per day. Read more to see the fatrumpirate rating

Ron Rumbero Cuban Rum Aged 7 Years

Ron Rumbero Cuban Rum Aged 7 Years Rum review by the fat rum pirate Ron Rumbero Cuban Rum Aged 7 Years. Sadly the review of this particular rum is not as a result of a trip to Cuba. Nor is it even the result of a brief sojourn to Europe. It is in fact due to a visit to the Lidl Supermarket on Roker Avenue……..

I appreciate that those of you familiar with this site will be surprised to see someone as sophisticated and refined as myself shopping in a discount German Supermarket. Especially those who have met me. This bottling was of course purchased for me by my domestic help on their weekly shop. Read more to see the fatrumpirate rating
