Ron de Jeremy XO was released in the UK on the 26th October 2015. With the original Ron de Jeremy and the Spiced variants already available, this “ron” is One Eyed Spirits’ attempt to break in the more “Premium” end of the market.
In the UK the market is saturated with “Premium” rums in the £35-55 price range. Rums such as Pyrat XO. Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva, Ron Zacapa et al.
Bristol Classic Rum have certainly increased their portfolio over the past few years. This rum represents an aged expression from the rejuventated Worthy Park Estate.
I was fortunate enough recently to make contact with John Barrett who runs Bristol Classic Rum. So I have a little more information on this rum than what is noted on the bottle.
Appleton Estate 21 Year Old Rum will be for many the top of the tree in terms of Appleton tasting.
With the Appleton Estate 21 Year Old coming in (depending on how savvy you shop), at just over £100, the 30 Year Old now largely unavailable and the Exclusive only available at the Appleton Distillery, it is unlikely many will make the jump from a £100 rum to the next readily available rum. The 50 Year Old. The £3500 price tag will put off most of you reading this review.
Rum-Bar Rum Cream from Worthy Park Estate, Jamaica. Until recently only rums and spiced rums have featured for review on the site.
With Christmas upon us I figured, we may as well continue the festive theme of the Rumvent Calendar with a liqueur!
Whisky based liqueurs such as Baileys are very popular in the UK, especially in the run up to Christmas. Most Supermarkets discount them and price-wars frequently break out. A more “premium” Deluxe Baileys was released recently believe it or not!
FAIR Spirits are the first line of socially responsible spirits, so the tagline on their website goes.
This 10 year old rum hails from Belize a Central American country which shares it eastern shoreline with the Caribbean sea. I have reviewed a couple of rums previously from Belize. One bottled directly by their largest rum operation Travellers and one which was produced for a third party – much like this FAIR rum.
Westerhall Estate was once a bustling hive of sugar and rum production on the island of Grenada. Nowadays the Estate offers a visitors centre to remind visitors of the rum and sugar production of the past.
Rum is still produced under the Westerhall Estate brand. However, it is no longer rum made from native sugar cane, not is it made from rum distilled on the island. Westerhall’s rums are made from rum imported from Trinidad, bottled and blended on the island.

Rum Chata is a product new to the UK market in 2015. It is noted in other territories as “Horchata con Ron”. For those not familiar with the term, “Horchata” is in this particular instance a rice, milk or cream based drink with vanilla and Cinnamon flavourings common in Mexico.
