It is time for a few more “Exotics”, i.e. Rums from countries all over the world that we either a) typically do not associate with Rum producing countries or b) do not get many expressions from. By the way, this is our first attempt to work with AI for the featured image. Crazy technology, if…

Engenhos do Norte
A very bad and tacky picture, I know, but since they call Madeira the “flower island”… Engenhos do Norte is located in Porto da Cruz in the north of Madeira, whose mill is one of the three old mills operating on the island. Built in 1927 as the result of the merger of about fifty…
Rhum Around the World again
Just another bag of rhums, that didn’t really fit in anywhere else. The idea is that these rhums can come from all over the world, that they come from countries that we do not visit often (in a metaphorical sense) and that we do not have proper companions to taste alongside. Alas, a rather wild…

Advent Calendar 2018 Blind Tasting Part I
Just like last year I am currently participating in an advent calendar blind tasting. Once again, we have to guess the country of origin (not distillery but hey, we will try to do it nevertheless), the rum’s age, the abv and if it has been sweetened or not. Let’s hope for not too many of…
