For those of you who aren’t familiar with Elements Eight they are an Independent British Spirits Company. Elements Eight refers to the eight elements which make up their final product. Elements Eight rums are also a blend of eight separate rums.
The company has been operating since 2006. As well as celebrating their tenth year in business in 2016, Elements Eight have also re-designed and re-vamped their packaging and line up.
Beach Craft Spirits – Crowdfunding in the Rum World.
A husband and wife team are opening a coastal based rum distillery. It will be the first in Scotland to offer crowdfunding.
David and Lara Beach aim to raise £65,000 by the end October. To begin their dream of owning and operating what will be only the second craft rum distillery in the country.
Elements Eight rums are quite visible in the UK marketplace. Several more upmarket department stores stock the brand and it can be found in many style and cocktail bars.
Presentation wise that’s not really surprising as the tall square, high shouldered bottles are very pleasing on the eye. They are however less pleasing on the shelves. You will find they are a lot taller than most spirits bottles – which can make them a bit of a pain to store. So it’s probably just as well that they have recently re-launched their rums with new packaging. They have also decided to drop this offering.
Lord Nelson’s Spiced Rum Liqueur represents the first liqueur which I have reviewed on the site. Well the first drink which is actually labelled as a liqueur anyway…….
Produced as a Naval Tribute to Lord Nelson (myth states that his body was preserved in rum for his final journey home) this is another product from the Hebridean Liqueur Company for me to review.
Matugga Spiced Rum is the latest in a batch of new Spiced Rums which are using English Spirit Distillery’s Old Salt Rum as their pot still rum base.
I recently reviewed Matugga Golden Rum just in time for its release at the London Rumfest in November. I also published a press release which should explain just about everything you need to know about the brand.
Well, Professor Cornelius Ampleforth’s Rumbullion! to give it its full name. Rumbullion is a Spiced Rum made exclusively for Master of Malt as part of their Professor Cornelius Ampleforth’s range of spirits and pre-mixed cocktails.
Rumbullion! has been so popular with Master of Malt punters that it is also now available in an XO (15 year old) and Navy Strength variation. This review focuses on the “traditional” standard Rumbullion.
Captain Morgan along with Bacardi probably gets the most abuse of all the rum companies. It is part of drinks giant Diageo’s portfolio of brands and is one of the most recognised throughout the world.
Whilst the companies Jamaica (or Dark) rum really isn’t worthy of too much criticism (it’s decidedly average), like Bacardi the strange flavoured rums the group have released, particularly over the pond are never going to win them many fans amongst rum conisseurs or purists.
