The Scarlet Ibis is the national bird of Trinidad. Unlike the label and as the name suggests, The Scarlet Ibis is a bright red beauty of a bird. This rum was originally commissioned by the Ultra Trendy New York bar “Death & Co.”.
The rum is blended using aged stocks of Trinidad rums and is released in limited batches when it becomes available. As a result the rum can be quite difficult to find. Once again I was able to source a bottle from The Whisky Exchange.
Chairman’s Reserve White Label is the latest white rum up for review. Regular readers will be aware of my fondness for the regular Chairman’s Reserve and other offerings from the excellent St Lucia Distillers.
St Lucia Distillers produce a fine range of blended pot and column still rums and I would thoroughly recommend anyone who is serious about authentic rum seeks out their offerings. I’ve reviewed most of the rum that is available in the UK and decided to round off a recent round up of a few white rums with this offering.
Over two centuries ago Lehmann (Lemon) Hart was named an official purveyor of rum to the British Royal Navy, subsequently establishing the Lemon Hart Rum Company in London, England, in 1804.
Whether Mr Hart ever intended a 151 Lemon Hart to become Tiki staple is improbable but this particular rum is the most iconic of Lemon’s legacy. What is even more improbable is that the Lemon Hart Rum Company of late would be based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. That is however what has become of the man’s legacy.
El Ron Prohibido or Ron Habanero. I’m really not quite sure quite how to introduce this rum. The front of the bottle is written mostly in Spanish so that doesn’t really help. The back of the bottle gives more clues as its all in English – Ron Prohibido is the registered Trade Mark on the back so I’ll go with that.
The Duppies are Caribbean spirits who steal Caribbean rum hopping from island to island, keeping the best for themselves.
The Duppy Share is named after this fairy story (or the story was made for the rum I’m not sure). It’s a twist on the Angel’s Share tale. I was initially pretty disinterested in trying this rum which was released just last year. I read the press release and gave a little groan. Rums blended from different sources don’t really grab my attention and I don’t tend to buy my rum based on fairy tales….. However, fair play to the team behind The Duppy Share they have certainly produced a very attractive website. Their marketing team is also doing something right because the rum is available in a number of premium Department Stores in the UK.
“Red Dot” Rum is the entry-level offering from Inner Circle, who are probably Australia’s second most famous rum producers. I cannot even bring myself to name the first….With this previous experience in Australian rum I am trying to approach this with an open mind. However, I will confess this is proving slightly difficult.
Tiburon Rum is the latest release from Traveller’s Liquors of Belize. Rum from Traveller’s Liquors is not readily available in the UK. I have previously tried only one of Traveller’s offerings One Barrel Rum. Which despite favourable reviews from other sites and a few “awards” was not appraised to well by myself.
