Any recommendations for rums from Hawaii? I’m pretty familiar with Koloa Rum Co. and Ko Hana. If I recall correctly Sammy Hagar’s Beach Bar Rum used to be made in Hawaii but no longer (Puerto Rico I think now).
Any others I’ve missed ..read more

Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) have brought out a new 12 year old rum. It is completely different to the old sweetened blend because - as far as I can detect - it has no added sugar.
It has been in the shops for a while now, but I only tasted it for the first time a few days ago, and was pleasantly shocked! It is miles better than the old blend.
The credit for this change must go to the new "Master Blender" at DDL, Sharon Sue-Hang, who on top of her many other attributes is also a lovely lady ..read more

I thought it might be a useful to start a thread where people banned from the Ministry of Rum Facebook group can identify themselves. I doubt many of those removed from the Facebook group will have been active here, but you never know.
For what it's worth, I was removed back in March/April without warning or notification. Only one of the numerous admins responded to my queries about the reason for my sudden removal. That admin (Gergo Murath) alleged I had made "disparaging and/or aggravating comments towards marginalized people and women", engaged in "punching down" and "bigotry", and comprom ..read more

I keep stopping by every now and then in the hope of seeing some fresh reviews etc., but it seems no one is here these days. I'm now finding myself on sites like RumRatings.com and their very rudimentary forum ..read more

Hi all,
Hailing from Scotland, my first love is, perhaps unsurprisingly, single malt Scotch. However I have love and respect for all brown spirits, particularly Armagnac and rum. I usually have a bottle of some kind of rum in the cabinet but I've recently begun to look at what the premium sector has to offer and I'm pleased to discover a hugely diverse scene with a rich heritage. I'm sure this will be a great journey and look forward to discussing it with you all! Go easy as I get up to speed ..read more

Hi all.
Sitting here in a slightly chilly Dublin this morning, I came across this forum. Why? Well, I have somehow decided I wish to start a craft rum distillery and was hunting down information for my business plan, and ended up in here!
Rum has really fascinated me for a long time, with all the various flavours and experiences it has brought me. Let's see what I may discover in here ..read more
