S.B.S. Guadeloupe Red Cane Single Origin Rum.
S.B.S or Single Barrel Selection are part of the Danish outfit 1423 World Class Spirits. An Independent bottler that has spent the last few years building a reputation for doing things properly transparent rum, no additives, no nonsense and a portfolio stretching across more than 50 distilleries worldwide.
Wray & Nephew Wray’s 43 Full Proof Rum.
When Wray’s 43 Full Proof Rum first appeared online, the immediate reaction from a lot of people was fairly simple: this can’t be real.
Blurry photos did the rounds. Labels were scrutinised. The ABV was checked and re-checked. Why? because Wray & Nephew already have a white rum that has achieved near-mythical status.
Ron Barceló Blanco Anejado. Some might suggest I am a glutton for punishment. We closed out 2025 with a less than inspiring rum from Ron Barceló. Like that selection this bottling is another “bargain” from Amazon.
Despite holidaying in Spain on a frequent basis I don’t recall ever seeing this particular white version before. I’d seen a more Premium white and simple Blanco but never a Blanco Anejado.
S.B.S. Dominican Republic Consuelo Single Origin Rum. This is not my first review of a rum from S.B.S. (Single Barrel Selection), who are the Independent bottling arm of Danish spirits distributor 1423.
It is however my first review in their Origin Series. This series is described by 1423 as
“The 1423 S.B.S Origin Selection is a series of handpicked unaged rum specifically chosen for their powerful profile and flavor. The chosen rum and marks are well known from our aged 1423 Single Barrel Selection and we now offer the opportunity to taste the origin of our products in our 1423 S.B.S Origin Selection.”
Hurricane Overproof Manx Rum. Outlier Distilling Company first came to my attention at the 2023 (I think) London Rum Festival. There was quite a bit of talk at that festival about their bottlings. In particular this Overproof Rum.
I tend to take any kind of hype at London Rum Festival, or indeed any other rum festival with a pinch of salt. There are still a lot of people at these events who are very much in the Spiced/Flavoured crowd and also a lot of people still find the idea of anything over 40% ABV as something “strong” and almost unheard of. A novelty which they see as exciting and dangerous. So they talk about it quite a bit – partly out of excitement and partly because they aren’t used to it……..
Rhum Bielle Canne Grise. It is increasingly rare that I am “out and about” in actual physical spirit stores. Locally I am fortunate to have a shop which is near to my place of work which stocks a lot of rum that they source from The Whisky Exchange. So they usually have a bottle or two that I can pick up should I not wish to wait for a delivery.
