Today we have a very special Caroni which I have considered to be the absolute best one for a long time. Even though I have had a couple of other great once more recently it is still at least a top five Caroni in my book. I’m talking about the A.D. Rattray Caroni 1997 17YO….

The Rum Cask Worthy Park 2009 4YO
It’s time for another rum from “The Rum Cask”. They have built a reputation for releasing high quality rums at very reasonable prices. Today’s bottling is one of their very first releases and no exception, despite its young age. It is the The Rum Cask Worthy Park 2009 4YO. The Bottling This was one of…
The Rum Cask Fiji 2001 15YO
If you’ve followed the last reviews on Fiji and/ or you are really into this rum style I have a real treat for you today. Many aficionados tend to label this the best Fijian to date. Let’s see whether we agree and taste the The Rum Cask Fiji 2001 15YO! The Bottling The Rum Cask is…
Cadenhead’s Fiji South Pacific Distillery 2003 13YO
Let’s taste a rum from a country (and distillery) which is still a bit under many rum drinkers’ radars. It is a style which I enjoy quite a bit but it is also very distinct and definitely not to everybody’s liking. Today we have the Cadenhead’s Fiji South Pacific Distillery 2003 13YO. The Bottling The…
Whiskybroker W.I.R.D. 2000 16YO
May the 4th be with you! Another Rockley/ Blackrock style rum from Barbados’ West Indies Rum Distillery (W.I.R.D.). Distilled in June 2000, it comes from the same batch as the Duncan Taylor W.I.R.D. 2000 15YO but got to age for another year. It is the Whiskybroker W.I.R.D. 2000 16YO. The Bottling This bottling is part of…
Cadenhead’s Sancti Spiritus 1999 17YO
Another rum from Sancti Spiritus albeit from another vintage and another bottler. Actually it’s two rums as Cadenhead’s released a follow-up with the same age, same mark and almost exactly the same abv a few months later. Unfortunately they do not give us the number of the cask and the similar alcohol content might just be coincidence….
Isla del Ron Cuba (Sancti Spiritus) 1998 18YO
Cuba spawned two of the biggest brands in the entire rum business. At least in the western hemisphere, Havana Club and Barcadi are probably the two most well-known rum brands. Few people have heard of Sancti Spirtus or Paraíso, the official name of the distillery, however. It’s time to change that. Today’s bottling comes from the relatively…
Whiskybroker Diamond Distillery 2004 12YO
Dear reader, I am pleased to welcome you back to Single Cask Rum! Today’s bottling has been quite the sensation when in it came out in December last year. Marking Whiskybroker’s tentative steps in the rum scene, it was a real success as it has been sold out within a couple of weeks, after which the first […]
Our Rum & Spirits Guyana 2003 12YO
Alaaf! 😉 Today’s review discusses the Gold Medal winner in the category “Single Cask” of last year’s German Rum fest, the 6th edition of the fair. Although such awards should usually be taken with a grain of salt, this rum really deserves it. I am talking about the “Our Rum & Spirits Guyana 2003 12YO”. The Bottling…
