Cloven Hoof Spiced Rum is made by Guilty Libations, here in the UK in Oxfordshire. Anyone who has attended the various Rum Festivals that have sprung up all around the UK in the past year may be familiar with the brand.
It is hard to miss. Big, bold and very brash! Cloven Hoof Spiced rum is blend of Guyanese and Trini rums. Mixed with (and I quote) “a mysterious concoction of natural spices”. The presentation is almost Heavy Metal. Their website has several “endorsements” from various bands I have never heard of. Nor do I like the look of.
Ron Viejo de Caldas 3 Anos. The rum hails from Colombia. It is produced at Industria Licocera de Caldas. As a result of this quite a lot of the information available online is in Spanish. I’ve tried translating things but the free translation tools are pretty naff. So I’ve cobbled together what I could find in English.
Rabbie’s Rum – named after Scotlands most famous poet Robert “Rabbie” Burns. This particular rum was bottled by The Whisky Barrel and hails from the legendary and now defunct Uitvlugt (owt-fluct) Distillery.
Ron Caney Anejo Centuria – another Cuban rum I picked up in Spain. Which seems to be the place to go if you want lower to mid level Cuban rum. At a very reasonable price.
Kill Devil Guyana Aged 12 Years. Kill Devil are a range of rums bottled by Whisky bottler Hunter-Laing. I’ve covered them quite extensively on the site so far.
Ron Montero is a rum producer from Motril, Spain. Ron Montero Gran Reserva is the premium end of their regular line up of rums. They also released a “Super Premium” rum to celebrate 50 years of rum making the “Ron Francisco Montero”.
Coruba White Rum. They are a brand of rum with mixed origins. Coruba Dark is popular and widely available in the US and New Zealand. Coruba are a Jamaican rum brand (the rum used is understood to come from Appleton Estate).
