Kill Devil and Worthy Park have already been covered on the website. I was very keen to try out this 10 Year Old Jamaican Rum.
Kill Devil are part of Hunter Laing (an Independent Whisky bottler). This archaic slang term for Rum is used to brand their run of Single Cask rums.
It’s encouraging to see more and more Independent bottlers coming to the fore. Kill Devil offer very limited “one off” cask bottlings. These initial releases are not at Cask Strength, so far all releases have been capped at 46% ABV. This may upset some purists. I understand their next release of rums will be at Cask Strength.
Foursquare Rum Distillery should need little or no introduction. Over the past few years alone, the distillery has released a number of new innovative rums.
Santiago de Cuba is a Cuban rum brand named after the city of Santiago. A green mountain range named “Sierra Maestra”, the golden sun and the Caribbean Sea characterise the landscape around the city of Santiago. The landscape can be found in the brands logo.
Caroni Aged 15 Years is the older brother of the Aged 12 Years I reviewed earlier. Both bottlings by Velier standards are relatively inexpensive.
Iceberg is a rum which hails from Canada. Well the brand does anyway, unsurprisingly the actual rum in the bottle is not Canadian.
Up for review is another rum from the Flor de Cana range from Nicaragua. It has taken a while for me to review many of the Flor de Cana rums, as I was disappointed with my experience when I bought the Centenario 12. This is the Flor de Cana 5 – Anejo Clasico.
Eariler this year Demerara Distillers Limited announced some new rums in their El Dorado range. Limited edition releases of rums from single stills. This one is from the Versailles (VSG) still.
