It has been a while. My apologies! RomDeLuxe Hampden “LROK” 2020 2YO (61,4%): A two year old LROK!? I am not sure if we need this but let’s taste it first! Nose: Lots of fruits such as pineapple, banana, strawberry but also honey, macadamia and many more. Something is odd here so I had to…

Some Column Still Demeraras from the Diamond Era
A very random session today, featuring a couple of Enmores from 2002, among others. S.B.S Diamond Distillery “SVL” (Uitvlugt Savalle) 2003 17YO (53,7%): This batch featured both, good and utterly terrible Rums so far. I really don’t know why the variance in cask quality is so big here. Nose: Rich and heavy with nougat, coffee,…
El Salvador
El Salvador is a real rarity on this blog and as much as I would love to serve you guys some more background information, I simply lack the time and nerves to do so at the moment. Alas, we shall stick to the tasting today. Plantation El Salvador 2015 8YO “Pineau des Charantes Cask” (48,6%):…
Travellers from Belize
It kinda feels like the market is being flooded with Belize’s Travellers Distillers Rums lately and I must say that I don’t mind it. Even though these releases are of vastly different quality, the best ones can easily keep up with some good Demerara column still Rums if you ask me. Alas, let’s see what…
Undisclosed Cuban Rums
There’s no reason for me to not believe that these undisclosed Cubans hail from Sancti Spiritus (who else is selling bulk after all!?) but we just cannot be sure about it. Anyway, while there were a few nice Cuban Rums in the past, the more recent bottlings we’ve had didn’t really convince us. But being…
T.D.L.’s turn
You may have noticed our latest hiatus (there seems to be one every year by now…) and once again, there has been a reason of course. But that will get it own announcement, just have some more patience. In the meantime, we have a bunch of TDLs, the majority of which should fall into the…
Ten Cane
The Ten Cane (10 Cane) brand was introduced by Moët Hennessy in 2005 and was (discontinuously) in production until 2015. The distillery was built in 2003 and then didn’t even last for a full decade. Not a good return on investment, folks. Anyway, it’s a light Trinidad Rum that has first been aged and bottled…
Cihuatán (El Salvador)
Typically we do not mention the country where the featured distillery of our tasting is located but with El Salvador, I often fail to recall the name of the country’s only distillery myself. But maybe that’s just me… Anyway, we have very little exposure to this very young distillery’s products, which has started production in…
