That Boutique-y Rum Company Foursquare Distillery Barbados Aged 12 Years Batch 7. If I ever get around to releasing some rum, please remind if only for the sanity of my fellow bloggers not to call it The Fat Rum Pirate Rum Company. I would also be worried about getting sued for causing repetitive strain injury.

Black Ven Distillery Dark Rum. There has been quite an explosion of rum production in the UK over the past 5 or so years. Many of these rum “producers” are doing little other than “spicing” an existing imported Caribbean rum base and then proclaiming it as British, English or Scottish or even Welsh “rum”. I’ve […] The post Black Ven Distillery Dark Rum appeared first on  thefatrumpirate.com ..read more

Dead Reckoning Australia 9 Year Bourbon Cask. We have become quite familiar with the Dead Reckoning line up of rums of the past couple of years. For those who are unacquainted with the bottler they are one of the first Australian Independent bottlers. Certainly one of the first to be exporting to the lucrative EU and […] The post Dead Reckoning Australia 9 Year Bourbon Cask appeared first on  thefatrumpirate.com ..read more

Ron Bengalo Rum from Barbados. In todays climate most people out there will be hunting for the odd rum bargain. Especially, when it comes to something to use as a casual weekend mixer. Most supermarket own label Dark and White rum tends to be unaged rum from Trinidad. It’s cheap and nearly every supermarket stocks, […] The post Ron Bengalo Rum from Barbados appeared first on  thefatrumpirate.com ..read more

Ron de El Salvador Cihuatan Alux Limited Edition Aged 15 Years. I first reviewed a rum from Licorera Chihuatan back in 2019. It was a rather underwhelming experience with a 12 year old aged rum. In all honesty the brand delivered pretty much what I was expecting. So whilst my experience was underwhelming, it was […] The post Ron de El Salvador Cihuatan Alux Limited Edition Aged 15 Years appeared first on  thefatrumpirate.com ..read more

Havana Club 11 Year Old Small Batch Exclusive to The Whisky Exchange. This is a world first. Havana Club, the iconic Cuban distillers have never previously released a bespoke expression for a single retailer. Whilst Havana Club might not be everyone’s cup of tea (or glass of rum) and a lot of their “mystery” is […] The post Havana Club 11 Year Old Small Batch Exclusive to The Whisky Exchange appeared first on  thefatrumpirate.com ..read more

Bacardi Spiced. Or more accurately Bacardi Spiced Spirit Drink. As the ABV on this offering is only 35% it does not hit the minimum 37.5% EU requirement to be labelled as a rum. The UK are no longer in the EU. We are still pretty much following all their rules and regulations though……… This offering […] The post Bacardi Spiced appeared first on  thefatrumpirate.com ..read more

Dead Reckoning Mhoba – South Africa. We have in the past, reviewed both Dead Reckoning’s offerings and a few of Mhoba’s own wares. Today we are combining the two in a quite youthful independent bottling, which unfortunately for those of us in Europe is an Australia only release. Well, initially it was anyway……….. Dead Reckoning […] The post Dead Reckoning Mhoba – South Africa appeared first on  thefatrumpirate.com ..read more

Dead Reckoning South Pacific 10 Year Muscat Cask. In my previous review I did mention that Dead Reckoning Rum had two releases for Europe. So that is what is up for appraisal today. It’s quite different to the previous release even though it hails from the same distillery. Dead Reckoning South Pacific 10 Year Muscat […] The post Dead Reckoning South Pacific 10 Year Muscat Cask appeared first on  thefatrumpirate.com ..read more
