Black Tot Historic Solera Rum This is the latest release in the Black Tot portfolio. I am always a little apprehensive when I see the term “Solera” being used in Rum. I think it is fair to say that a number of producers make claims they are using a “Solera” method when, in truth they […] The post Black Tot Historic Solera Rum appeared first on  thefatrumpirate.com ..read more

Foursquare Equidem. Today we have a review of the 27th release in the Foursquare Exceptional Cask Series. The series shows no signs of abating and with a number of Exclusive Cask releases with various retailers and Rum Clubs, it really is becoming nigh on impossible to review EVERY Foursquare release. Equidem is noted as meaning […] The post Foursquare Equidem appeared first on  thefatrumpirate.com ..read more

Bounty Spiced Spirit Drink. Today’s review of Bounty is brought to you by St Lucia Distillers. This is not the Bounty brand that is produced by Rum Co. of Fiji. The two brands seem to co-exist without any litigation – I’m not sure how you could or would go about trademarking something as generic as […] The post Bounty Spiced Spirit Drink appeared first on  thefatrumpirate.com ..read more

J Gow Fading Light XO. I reviewed the original J Gow Fading Light way back before COVID in 2019. Doesn’t time fly? Since then I have reviewed a few more expressions from this tiny distillery on Lamb Holm, Orkney – all positively I must add. So, today I am quite excited to be trying this […] The post J Gow Fading Light XO appeared first on  thefatrumpirate.com ..read more

Bedford Park Jamaican Distillery 2000. Today we are trying a rum from yet another Scottish Independent bottler- Bedford Park. An offshoot of North Point Distillery who produce their own Spiced and “Regular” rum. I have heard of them and will likely be reviewing their Pilot rum soon. North Point Distillery does not focus solely on […] The post Bedford Park Jamaican Distillery 2000 appeared first on  thefatrumpirate.com ..read more

Don Papa Rum Sherry Casks. I’ve not reviewed any Don Papa products for a while. They aren’t a brand that I would ever buy if I’m being honest. So when it comes to getting reviews of Don Papa, I am often relying on my friends in rum circles being gifted well meaning but sadly misguided […] The post Don Papa Rum Sherry Casks appeared first on  thefatrumpirate.com ..read more

El Dorado Aged 12 Years Finest Demerara Rum. It has been quite a while since I last reviewed any of the rums from El Dorado’s “core” range. Since then there have been revelations that they age their rum in barrels which have been coated in caramel. Rather than “adding sugar” post distillation. Whether this is […] The post El Dorado Aged 12 Years Finest Demerara Rum appeared first on  thefatrumpirate.com ..read more

Cargo Cult Navy Strength Rum. Cargo Cult Navy Strength Rum. I last reviewed an offering from the Cargo Cult stable way back in 2018. At the time it was their only rum on the market. It was heralded as a “sugar free” Dry Spiced Rum. Fast forward to 2024 and they have a Banana flavoured […] The post Cargo Cult Navy Strength Rum appeared first on  thefatrumpirate.com ..read more

Dead Reckoning Barbados PX. We continue our recent reviews of Independent bottlers with a review from the other side of the world. Today we have a rum from Aussie bottlers Dead Reckoning. I’ve covered quite a few of their releases over the past few years. The bottling I have in my hands today is a […] The post Dead Reckoning Barbados PX appeared first on  thefatrumpirate.com ..read more

Dràm Mòr Single Cask Rum Secret Mauritius Distillery Aged 7 Years. We are returning again this week to a bottling from Scottish Indie bottler Dràm Mòr. Today we once again have a bottling from a “Secret” Distillery. Will I be able to work out which distillery this hails from? Most probably…….. On the rear label […] The post Dràm Mòr Single Cask Rum Secret Mauritius Distillery Aged 7 Years appeared first on  thefatrumpirate.com ..read more
