  A combination that really works. Great stuff!

  Finished in x Cognac casks, some tasters reported this to be the driest of the Abuelo 'Finish Collection'.

  Tasting note: Impressive burnished mahognany colour. Shy; oak shavings, peppercorns, vanilla bean and cola. 5-10 minutes fails to amplify the aromas beyond moderate. Entry is light, dryish with hints of honey, crème caramel and vanilla building with caney/grassy sweetness. Finishes more cognac-like with hints of dried fruits (fig / pear), cedary oak and butterscotch. Quite elegant, understated and edging towards the drier side of rum. Beautifully done in spite of the lazy aromatics, however re-tasting several days later found the nose much improved. 40% Alc./Vol.

  Other reviews... Bronze color. Mature, exotic aromas and flavors of coffee beans, Madeira, eucalyptus, and dried tropical fruits and nuts with a thick, lively, off-dry medium body and a tingling, subtle, medium-long smoked butterscotch and bread and butter pickle finish. A savory and smoky aged rum. 40% Alc./Vol.

  One of the big guns on the Rum shelves.

  This is Abuelo's flagship, a blend of their oldest reserves aged in x-Bourbon barrels for up to 30 years. It was released to celebrate a century of rum-making. Burnt sienna with deep gold ochre edges. Perfect clarity. Several minutes in the glass coaxes heavy scents of maple syrup, pancake, beeswax, sticky date pudding, caramel fudge and more. Clean, elegant, middle weighted with a superb sweet / dry balance and flavours of dates, walnut slice, new leather, hazelnut, caramel and sweet cigar box. Ends drier than the mid palate stage, perfectly balanced and showing impressive persistence. First class. 40% Alc./Vol.

  Other reviews... The unusually deep caramel hue advertises the powerful flavors: crème brûlée, lingering and kaleidoscopic notes of coffee bean, caramel, cola, muted gingerbread spices and just a mere hint of sweetness.
  97 points - wineenthusiast.com

  "The immensely appealing nose combines vanilla and molasses with chocolate and coffee. The palate, rich with syrupy cane, avoids any cloying aspects by virtue of its lively, berry-like fruit, mulled cider, baked pear and tobacco notes--many of which continue into a lingering, smoldering finish." 94 points - distiller.com

  The Varela family has been harvesting and distilling 100% estate grown sugar cane for over a century. This is one of three limited edition rums that take inspiration from the Scotch Whisky industry, using Oloroso Sherry casks to finish the maturation. The result is reportedly not overly sweet with a delightful combination of dried fruits and rich rum notes.

  Other reviews... Brilliant copper color. Complex aromas and flavors of polished wood, leather, sherry raisin cake, and dark roasted nuts with a velvety, vibrant, fruity full body and a warming, distinctive, long honeyed toasted fruit cake, exotic spiced prunes and figs, and tea and tobacco finish. A rich complex sipping rum. 40% Alc./Vol. 94 points - tastings.com

  "Dried dates, figs and prunes welcome the nose and palate along with a creamy, crème brulée (vanilla and burnt sugar) sweetness. The jamminess gets pumped up with notes of clove, nutmeg and hints of herb lead by basil and and thyme. A salty, earthy tobacco and espresso finish makes this an ideal sipper with a cigar and/or paired with dark chocolate squares." 92 points - distiller.com

  ABV: 37.5%

  Ron Barceló was founded by Julian Barceló, a Spanish émigré born in Mallorca. He founded the company in 1930 under the name Barceló & Co in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, having arrived in the country in 1929. It did not take long for the Barcelo brand to became an essential reference amongst local rum brands, growing into one of the biggest and most prestigious Dominican Companies.

  During the 1980s, Ron Barceló became the most popular rum in the Dominican Republic. Exports grew and the company began distribution outside of the Caribbean and America. In 1992, the company began an international campaign and, by 1994, Ron Barceló was exported to over 10 countries, with Spain as its biggest consumer. It's currently exported to over 50 countries and the range has just arrived in Australia.

  Tasting note: Beautiful polished copper. Attractive scents of dried coconut, vanilla slice, and dilute golden syrup. Creamy yet dry; middle weighted palate features pronounced vanillas with hints of roasted nuts. Finish is engagingly spicy adding length and depth. Ends with the vanilla / caramel theme playing out with reasonable length. 37.5% Alc./Vol.

  Ron de Jeremy Reserva Rum (700ml)

  $899.88 Dozen

  Sold Out

  ABV: 40%

  Unashamedly a brand concept spirit that doesn't take itself too seriously is Ron de Jeremy, named after the famed star of hundreds of gentleman's ‘artistic’ films. 'Ron' also means "Rum". The novelty would have worn off long ago if it weren't for the man behind the contents: Cuban Master Distiller, Francisco “Don Pancho” Fernandez, a.k.a "The Godfather". Having developed highly regarded brands including Zafra, Ron Abuelo and Havana Club, his input guarantees that substance hasn't been placed second to style when it comes to what goes inside the bottle. Molasses-based (the sugar cane is estate grown) and distilled in both pot and column stills at Alcoholes y Rones de Panama in South Central Panama, maturation takes place in ex-bourbon barrels for up to eight years.

  If you're looking for a quality house rum with a profile that typifies the lighter side of the Caribbean, as well as a silky texture and body enough for mixing, this ticks all those boxes. In short, it's considerably better than you'd expect for a celebrity-affiliated spirit.

  Tasting note: Bright gold colour / shows good cling. Nicely scented with soft, semi-sweet notes of cream sponge cake, mocha, a touch of raw sugar and white pepper. Relaxed and creamy on entry, builds with good concentration into a semi-sweet, dried banana, vanilla wafer and clove profile with a very soft, whitepepper overlay. Finish sees an interesting grassy / elderflower-like note enter adding freshness. Concludes balanced, delicate and dry with moderate persistence and lingering banana cake in the fade. A satisfying, light'n'easy house pour rum for all applications. 40% Alc./Vol.

  Sold Out

  ABV: 40%

  The Matusalem Rum Company was started by the Camp brothers in 1872 as a family affair. The "new" Cuban rum rapidly caught on in the world's markets. In the early 1940s they experienced a period of tremendous growth and by the '50s, Matusalem had already captured half of the Cuban market making it the country's leading brand. After fleeing Cuba during Fidel Castro's regime, descendants of the founders now produce Ron Matusalem in the Dominican Republic. It explains why the style is light and delicate, like most Cuban rums. In fact, it's similar to Havana Club, so if you're looking for an easy sipper, this is the one for you.

  Named after the Biblical Patriarch, Methuselah who was said to have lived for 969 years, so symbolising patient ageing and old world craftsmanship, the key to Matusalems’s complexity is a Solera aging process, previously used only in sherry and Spanish brandy making. Matusalem was the first to introduce it to rum making. Variously aged liquids are carefully blended, with the core component averaging 15 years old. French oak casks dominate the cellars.

  Other reviews... Brilliant copper hue. A soft nose of toffee and butter. A satiny entry leads to a round, fruity-yet-dry, medium-bodied palate with praline and brown spice notes. Finishes with smooth spicy oak flavors. A finely balanced, very silky, aged rum. 40% Alc./Vol. International Review of Spirits Award: Gold Medal, 95 points (Exceptional) - .tastings.com

  ...Palate entry is slightly maple-like and more bittersweet than flat-out sweet; the midpalate shows rich molasses and sugar maple tastes. Aftertaste is long, slightly lead pencil-like, bittersweet and elegant. 92 points - wineenthusiast.com

  Upon sipping the rum it is smooth and very well blended in that respect.  The vanilla I could smell earlier comes through in the flavour along with some smoke and oakiness.  The aftertaste is quite spicy and hot.  Not in an alcohol burn way but more in a tingle on the tongue and taste buds. As a sipping rum it isn’t the most complex of rums.  However, the average price of this rum has to be taken into account... it isn’t in the same price bracket as most complex and rewarding sipping rums. Mixed 50/50 with cola the rum is almost creamy giving a smooth texture to the cola and rum mix.  It’s very easy drinking.  This is a very well constructed rum.  It has a lot of similarities in terms of smoothness to Angostura 1919.  Unfortunately much like Angostura 1919 the smoothness seems to sacrifice a little extra complexity in terms of flavour.  The rum doesn’t burst with tropical fruit.  Its a light smooth easy drinking rum with hints of vanilla and a smokiness in the profile. All in all a good rum at a good price.  It doesn’t offer any surprises but for any lover of Cuban/Dominican style rums this is sure to appeal. - thefatrumpirate.com

  ABV: 40%

  With more 5 Star user reviews around the web than almost any product we can think of, the consensus is clear: Zacapa is a silky, sultry indulgence that will satisfy anyone who enjoys sweeter rum styles.

  First launched in 1976 and famously aged 'above the clouds', two and a half kilometres above sea level among the Guatemalan mountains and volcanoes, Zacapa's Solera 23 remains the flagship of the 'La Nacional' company, which continues to produce an extensive line of products accounting for 98% of the domestic spirits market in Guatemala. The brand is now part of the Diageo group.

  Unlike most rums, Zacapa is distilled from 'Virgin honey' (a.k.a. sugar cane juice), not the denser molasses. It also employs a natural yeast culture originally sourced from pineapples. However, it's Zacapa's complicated maturation that really sets it apart. New distillate is combined with around 10% older rums, then the first ageing takes place in rejuvenated x Bourbon casks for two years, after which it's blended for a second time with more old material. The process is repeated a third time, after which it's racked into sherry butts for around two years. The final stage sees a 'finishing' in Pedro Ximenez sherry butts before being blended once more and rested in a large American oak vat for six months before bottling. The age of rums in the final mix ranges from 6 to 23 years old. Given all the effort that goes into production, it's no wonder this really is an exemplary example of the spirit. Its cornucopia of flavours and moderate sweetness makes it ideal straight up as an after dinner sipper, otherwise, we recommend keeping it simple: Add a couple of ice cubes and a twist of orange peel, or include a dash of aromatic bitters to create our favourite - the Zacapa 'Old Fashioned'.

  Other reviews... Copper color. Sweet, peppery spice and dried tropical fruit aromas. A round, supple entry leads to a glycerous, slightly sweet medium-full body of brown sugar, dried cherries, guava, pineapple, cinnamon, and caramelized roasted nuts. Finishes with a sweet, light molasses and ashy mineral fade. A nice, supple, and surprising sweet aged rum. Should mix brilliantly, or enjoy as an after-dinner sipper. 40% Alc./Vol.

Starting with a depth of dried fruit and apricot, building to savory oak, nutmeg, leather and tobacco with notes of coffee and vanilla, balanced with a spicy touch of cinnamon and ginger.

  A limited edition Guatemalan rum from Ron Zacapa's Heavenly Cask series. Essentially, the basis for these strictly limited bottlings is the ever-popular Ron Zacapa Centenario Sistema Solera 23, famous for undergoing a special aging process before bottling. The slight shift in focus is on four different cask types (ex-bourbon, specially re-charred ex-bourbon, ex-Oloroso sherry and ex-PX (sweet) sherry casks). In short, the usual high quality of Ron Zacapa is enhanced and complemented by the qualities of each cask finishing. Described as "Enigmatically toasted and rich", this edition spent a final maturation in extra charred x-American whiskey casks. It's a procedure that many single malt Scotch Whisky fans may already be familiar with: The deep charring allows the spirit to cycle deeper into the oak, presenting the drinker with a myriad of toasty, savoury aromas and flavours, as well as roasted almonds, cinnamon and sweet toffee. 40% Alc./Vol.

  This is the new top of line rum from the legendary Gautamalean producer, Ron Zacapa, as selected by Master blender, Lorena Vasquez. Produced from first pressed sugar cane (aka virgin sugar honey) the rum is long-aged in Zacapa's unique solera system followed by a finishing period in French oak casks from 'Le Bois du Roy'. These casks are assembled from prized wood sourced from four French forests. Harvest has been restricted since the 13th century when they were owned by royalty. Consequently, Le Bois du Roy barrels have been reserved only for the finest vintages.

"I wanted to create something different and fun - and I love coconuts" said Elise. So they set off to create an authentic, dry, white coconut spiced rum.

  They used activated charcoal to remove the colour from the rum, blended three different coconut macerations with cacao nibs and Australian native wattleseed to compliment and lift the coconut profile. The final product is a wonderful toasted coconut rum like no other. 42% Alc./Vol.

• Rum-Bar Gold Jamaican Rum (700ml)

  JAMAICA

  $64. 99

  Bottle

  $779.88 Dozen

  Sold Out

  ABV: 40%

  A blend of pot still rums aged for a minimum of four years in x-Jack Daniels barrels. The 100% tropical maturation gives it an 'already mature' character. It's another all-natural rum from Worthy Park with absolutely nothing added. Recommended in Rum Manhattans and Kingston Negronis.

  Other reviews... As a sipping rum the this offers quite a nice experience. It’s very full flavoured and quite strong initally on the alcohol. Once again, the rum just needs a little time. After a couple of sips the alcohol begins to mellow and you will notice a sweet vanilla custard and some nice almost creamy fudge like notes. My initial assessment was that Rum-Bar Gold is closer to Hampden Gold than Appleton V/X but I’m starting to feel that despite all the upfront Jamaican funk rum it displays an underlying sweetness which neither of the other rums can attain. The rums in this blend are not high ester rums. The finish is quite long lasting and surprisingly mellow.That’s not to say this is a sweet rum in the sense of Zacapa or Diplomatico! It is a Jamaican pot still rum – no added sugar or other additives. However, it will be for many far more accessible than Smith & Cross, Hampden Gold or a Monymusk offering... Rum Bar Gold offers an experience much different to the other Jamaican Rums on the market. It is for a fairly young rum, quite complex and I certainly hope that people take the plunge and try a bottle whilst Tesco have stocks as I think they will be very pleasantly surprised. Excellent stuff...
  4 Stars - thefatrumpirate.com

  ..."The Gold presents a medium straw color in the glass. The nose is surprisingly subtle for a pot-still Jamaican rum. In time, it yields vanilla and stone fruits, like a fruit pastry. Taste-wise, the vanilla and barrel-wood spring forth, with little of the ripe banana hogo found in some Jamaican rums. The mouthfeel is very clean, with no hint of additives. It finishes dry, with the barest hint of honey. It will work well as a rum substitute in cocktail recipes calling for a similar 80-proof bourbon."

  Sailor Jerry 92 Proof Spiced Carribean Rum (1000ml)

  UNITED STATES

  $89. 99

  Bottle

  $1079.88 Dozen

  Sold Out

  ABV: 46%

  ‘Spiced’ is the generic name given to any rum to which a local herb or spice has been added and allowed to impart its particular flavour. Most commonly cinnamon, rosemary, aniseed and peppers are used. It's an acquired taste, however the best examples are deliciously different.

  Sailor Jerry is reportedly blended with caramel, vanilla and lime, and has sold itself with the slogan "Strong, but goes down smooth". Now just arrived is a new 92 proof bottling in a one litre format, with a slightly different claim of "bold & Smooth".

  Sailor Jerry rum is labelled as a tribute to both the man, Norman 'Sailor Jerry' Collins and the style of Rum 'Jerry' concocted and consumed whilst serving in the US Navy. Collins lived quite an extraordinary life, heavily influenced by artwork he saw whilst sailing in the Navy, he turned his hand to tattoo artistry, thanks to his Eastern influences and strong bonds forged with Japanese tattoo masters - the same masters that were responsible for the training and development of artists to carry on Japan's ancient tattoo tradition. Jerry is regarded as the foremost American tattoo artist of his time, his influences are still prevalent, despite his passing in 1973. Lovers of ink, raise a glass to Jerry! 46% Alc./Vol.

  JAMAICA

  $550. 00

  Bottle

  $6600.00 Dozen

  Sold Out

  ABV: 54.5%

  Tasting note: [10ml sample] A rum that shows what can happen when careful and superior selection leave their mark: Pure magic. Still caney, profoundly rum-like and astoundingly fresh, the flavours are so beautifully arranged with an orchestral control to the point where language seems pointless. Samaroli demonstrates there are still amazing rums out there to be found, often flying beneath the radar. This is one, with a saturating, sensory attack that ascends two or three octaves before coming back to earth. For sheer length alone, it beats almost any other wood aged spirit. The aftertaste continues well beyond five minutes. One only available.

  Built in 1750 and sought after for its powerful, estery, pot-distilled spirit, the Hampden estate is renowned for possessing the best cane lands in Jamaica producing the highest tonne sugar from tonne cane milled. 54.5% Alc./Vol.

• Sampan Overproof Vietnamese Rhum (700ml)

  VIETNAM

  $130. 00

  Bottle

  $1560.00 Dozen

  Sold Out

  ABV: 54%

  A traditional 'French Rhum Agricole' from the tropical haven of Vietnam. Sampan Overproof has won a bunch of awards from various shows held around the world …Gold, Double Gold, Best of Region and many more. As a style, it's reported to be comparable to unaged Clairin or Paranubes.

  Other reviews... The Sampan Vietnamese Rhum is made by the Distillerie d’Indochine: and Antoine Pourcuitte, a long haired Frenchman who seems to be channelling Fabio and who lives in Vietnam, is the man who bootstrapped his desire to make good rums into a business that combines a small hotel and bar close to the beach with a distillery he pretty much built himself (officially it opened for business in late 2018). This newly constructed establishment, which produces one of those excellent white rhums which must be causing the French islands conniption fits, is his brainchild… and it can take its place proudly in the league of small and new fast moving ops who are taking a pure rhum approach to distillation in Asia.... it doesn’t sink on the taste, but follows smoothly on from what had been discerned on the nose. Here, we didn’t just have a few olives, but what seemed like a whole grove of them. Again it tasted dirty, loamy, and also pungent, with initially clear notes of sweet sugar cane juice and sweet yellow corn, to which are added some lemon sherbet, vanilla and aromatic light fruits (pears, watermelon, strawberries) plus herbs – dill and basil.  Soft and lightly sweet, and there’s a background hint of anise as well, or licorice, really nice. Throughout the tasting it stays firm and assertive on the tongue, with a near silky mouthfeel leading to an exit that is pleasantly long lasting and with closing notes of fruits, vanilla, coconut water, and breakfast spices. This is a really nice white rhum – it married the freshness of an agricole with the slight complexity of an entry level vieux and the balance between the various elements was very nicely handled. That pungent opening clearly makes the case that even with the resting period, it was an unaged rhum, something like the Sajous, the Paranubes, A1710, Toucan, Barbosa Grogue, HSE Parcellaire or others of that kind – I liked it a lot, and if it didn’t win any medals, I firmly believe it should at least win a few wallets. - thelonecaner.com

  ...Nose: Man, there is just SO MUCH going on in the nose. There’s a real fresh and lively quality to it as well. There’s cut grass and floral notes, there’s sweet candy floss and liquorice all sorts, but also salty olives. Freshly cut cane, earthy petrichor and even some citrus swirls by. Palate: Not as sweet as it smells, but certainly not dry, those fresh earthy notes are still there, I get some passionfruit, pineapple and pomegranate as well, and there’s also a sort of yeasty vibe going on (like fresh bread dough). What is surprising is how little pepper or heat there is at 54%. Finish: Oddly enough I get a bit of a ‘woody’ note in the finish, more of those earthy and sweet notes chase each other around, and there’s also some aniseed humbugs right at the last. - rumtribe.com.au

  Distilled in 1998 and bottled in 2015, this rare edition from the now dismantled Uitvlugt Distillery in Guyana was bottled by German independent bottlers, Sansibar. Uitvlugt continues to operate today as a sugar refinery and producer of molasses, however the equipment used for rum production reportedly ceased operation in 2000. The column still was moved to the Diamond distillery, home of the exceptional El Dorado rums.

  Tasting note: [Single cask No.45 bottling] Pure gold / ideal clarity. Yields powerful aromas of raw sugar, vanilla custard, fried banana and dates with a cinnamon and pepper warmth. Doesn't disappoint on the palate: A huge rum of considerable bittersweet depths, rallying on the finish with cascades of light molasses, raw sugar, banana chips, liquorice root and clove with a mouthfeel that defies the alcohol. Lovely sweet/dry juxtaposition. Lingering white chocolate / raw sugar and banana confectionery aftertaste. Buxom and beautifully balanced. Non chill filtered. 52% Alc./Vol. 237 bottles.

  $719.88 Dozen

  Sold Out

  ABV: 40%

  The sibling to the fabulous 1796 standard edition, hailing from the Aragua valley near the capital Caracas. Aged for up to five years, well beyond Venezuela's minimum norm for the Rum classification, this sleek, light to medium bodied style offers raw sugar, molasses and hints of mixed peel on the nose, and a sweet, well-balanced, low-burn, somewhat pedestrian delivery; Cinnamon warmth mingles with dried banana and molasses cake, the finish rounds off in a flurry of all-spice, white pepper and subtle caney freshness (likely from a column still component). Sits comfortably alongside the best value easy-drinkers and cocktail rums in its category. 40% Alc./Vol.

  Other reviews... The aroma after the pour is lightly spicy and delicately brown sugar-like; air contact stirs deeper scents of molasses, dark caramel and lead/minerals. The palate entry is sugar sweet; at midpalate there's a taste rush to marshmallow, confectioner's sugar, oaky vanilla and light honey. Finishes gracefully, with lip-smacking tastes of bittersweet brown sugar and honey. Best Buy.

  ABV: 40%

  A new Venezuelan Beauty that's easily in the leading pack as one of the top rum values on our shelves.

  
  Created to commemorate the distillery's 200th anniversary, this rum is matured in a French Limousin oak solera system for 8-12 years (a method borrowed from the Spanish sherry producers) and is the first premium anejo rum in the world to be aged using such a technique. With some portions reportedly in barrel for more than fifteen years, Santa Teresa delivers all the substance and style of Diplomatico's Reserva Exclusiva, only the profile is less sweet, the result is more elegant - even 'Cognac-esque'.

  Tasting notes: Deep copper. Sensuous bouquet offers a superb amalgam of vanilla, hazelnut chocolate, creme caramel and cream sponge cake. Fine tuned with perfect sweet-dry balance including flavours of bounty bar, mocha, caramel fudge finishing with a lingering white pepper, dried banana, buckwheat pancake and cocoa aftertaste. First class. 40% Alc./Vol.

  Other reviews... The first couple of whiffs pick up toasty notes of caramel, almond butter, cotton candy and very old oak; with aeration, more profound aromas develop including saddle leather, vanilla, Sherry and dark caramel. Palate entry is perfectly balanced and sweet; by midpalate the flavor profile is honeyed, slightly cocoa-like, buttery to the feel and utterly decadent. Finishes long, layered, creamy and dark chocolate bittersweet. 98 points - wineenthusiast.com

  Deep amber color with an olive cast. Elegant aromas and flavors of toasted nuts, coffee gelato, dried tropical fruits and pepper with a satiny, medium-to-full body and lots of toffee, vanilla bean, and sweet tobacco notes of the long finish. A delicious, smooth, and artfully balanced aged rum for sipping, cigars, or world-class cocktails.

  Produced at Guyana’s Daimond Distillery (famous for the El Dorado range) this deep, dark little gem has been aged for at least 3 years in ex bourbon casks. Some of the seven rums in the blend are made using the distillery’s one-of-a-kind wooden stills. You’ve got to love the label artwork which is pretty much unchanged since the brand’s inception in the 1930s. If you’re into thick, heavy styles, this is considered by some as one of Guyana's better molasses-based libations: a genuine “old school” dark rum with a big personality. 40% Alc./Vol.
