That Boutique-y Rum Company Issan Rum Thailand. The Issan Distillery is situated in the North of Thailand. They release their own rums under the name of the distillery. I’m pretty sure they don’t have much of a distribution deal in Europe (particularly the UK) because I cannot recall seeing any of their own releases for sale here.

Cor Cor Red Okinawan Rum. Cor Cor Red and Green first seriously caught my eye at London Rumfest 2017. They were displaying at the Boutique Rumfest on the Friday afternoon. A show which is designed for new rums to display their wares to the “trade”. Its the part of the weekend I personally enjoy the most. The atmosphere is a little more restrained and you get to try a lot of new rums.
Cor Cor Green – Okinawan Rum. Cor Cor is a relatively new rum brand from Japan. More specifically the Japanese island of South Borodino, Minamidaito, Okinawa. I can’t say I’m familiar with the region either. Japanese geography isn’t my strongest subject.
The company responsible for Cor Cor Green are the Grace Rum Company Ltd, formed in 2004. Although the company is young, the tradition of growing sugar cane on the island dates back hundreds of years.
