A marvelous anejo made from a blend of light and heavy, molasses-based rums aged for a
minimum of 8 years in charred American oak bourbon barrels. The rum exudes a complex bouquet brimming over with aromas of cocoa, molasses, caramel and vanilla. Very soft, well rounded with a warm glowing finish.

Appleton Estate 21 Year Old Jamaica Rum is true testament that not all rums are the same. The best rums are aged to allow for the blends to mature and their taste to mellow. These rums, which have been aged for a minimum of 21 years, are hand blended using Appleton's time-honoured techniques and then
placed in oaken vats for over two years to allow the blend to marry. The result is a robust, medium-bodied rum with a light bouquet that is smooth and easy on the palate.

Bacardi Select is a molasses based rum from Puerto Rico. It is a rich blend of selected aged rums which are charcoal filtered for smoothness before mellowing in oak barrels. This rum is a dark amber colour and has a full body. The palate is complex and opulent, with notes of caramel, toffee, honey, and leather. The finish is buttery and long with an oakey element.

Here we have a very classy, medium bodied rum from Haiti which is double distilled in copper pot stills. Unlike most commercial rums, the base material comes directly from fermented sugar cane juice, so none of those harsh, sulphurous overtones with this rum. The spirit spends eight years in used Bourbon casks which adds a degree of mellowness and perfume lift not seen in aged rums.. Great spirit, makes a magic Mojito!

What a history! What a rum!! The Caroni Estate distillery was first opened on the Caribbean island of Trinidad in the 17th century but was sadly closed in 2002. What a shame. Doug McIvor at Berry's describes this richly sweet rum as a piece of "liquid Caribbean history". To taste it, it's pure honey, toffee and cloves. And it's definitely one to have on its own.

Founded in 1937, the Compañia Licorera de Nicaragua today is a big modern distillery producing some pretty fine spirit. You would have seen it in Australia under the Flor de Cana label. Pleasingly all their wood aged spirits are fully matured in ex Jack Daniels casks and the spirit is clean and very tasty. And this Berry Bros bottling is no exception. This is medium to light weight rum that is full flavoured, I'll let Doug's offsider, Rob Whitehead explain, "Fresh without being too youthful; fresh tangerine, coconut and even dark chocolate covered mints are apparent. Light bodied and very finely balanced, marzipan and lime zest give breadth and lift to the palate. A luxuriously silky finish shows nuts, spice and citrus.

Enmore distillery, now part of Demerara Distillers, is an intriguing mainland South American distillery. Enmore is one of only a handful of rum distillers who use pot stills, and originally the still used to be wooden. The Enmore house style is for pale coloured but spicy rums and this well aged 19yo will not disappoint. Light in colour (no caramel here) with a nose that is deeply fruity, smelling of burnt sugar and subtle oak and a degree of smokiness. The palate is very dry, deep tasting of toasted spice, firm spirit and a long dry aftertaste.

The original Hampden Estate that included a large plantation, distillery and sugar factory, dates back to 1799. But due to neglect and to financial difficulties that started back in the 1930's, the distillery was eventually closed down in 2002. So there is another loss of a rare pot still distillery. Mores the pity, as the Hampden spirit is renowned for its fruity and highly estery spirit. And this Berry's bottling is a delight: Warm, succulent, spicy and exotically fruity. And when I say estery...I really mean, massivley estery!!

No artificial colouring, no chill-filtering, just full on authentic flavour. This is a totally captivating rum that’s fully loaded with cinnamon, turmeric, fig and lemongrass aromas. On the palate there’s plenty of warm spice, vanilla and soft oak flavours and ends with a refreshing dryness.

How could I not go past this one...again! A fine 15yo Guyanan rum that has extra maturation in ex Laphroaig casks. And that extra maturation is not just months, but years. Port Morant, a large bulk distillery, is actually located in Jamaica. From Doug McIvor's notes, "The heady bouquet gives fruit and honey notes with the smoky background influence of the Islay Malt Whisky cutting through. This is an unusual but interesting marriage which combines two seemingly disparate elements to make a very flavoursome Rum."

This Bajun rum from Rockley Still has been matured for 20 years in oak and once again has not been chill filtered or artificially coloured. Totally distinctive, very powerful with tarry aromas combining with herbs and spice. The palate offers plenty of peppery dryness and faint traces of liquorice, slowly fading to a long and warming finale.

Sadly out of stock. Wow, this was a doozy...a big rich rum matured in ex Laphroaig casks. The rum fraternity couldn't cope with the flavours but whisky aficionados loved it. Sweet & fruity and a hint of medicinals, fruity and very easy drinking.
