A Venezuelan rum of some note. As the distillery says, "smooth-sipping medium-weight golden rum, blended from a mix of continuous still and potstill rums aged for an average of four years". And it looks like it has caught the attention of a few show judges as well: Double Gold Medal: San Francisco World Spirits Competition: Platinum Medal:
World Beverage Competition, Florida: Gold Medal, Best in Class: The Rum Experience, London

There are very few nations that can claim an alcoholic beverage as their national symbol, but on mainland South America there are two: Guatemala with Ron Zacapa & Ron Botrán and then there is Nicaragua with their incomparable Ron Flor de Caña. No wood chips, no soleras, all bourbon barrel matured & thankfully they claim no additives have been used. And the biggest surprise...they claim to have been distilled seven (7) times!!! BTW it's Kosher too.

Now here's one for the lovers of triple distilled spirits - a rum that's triple distilled and from the producers of Mountgay, Barbados. The distilery decalres, "Aroma: Rich aromas of summer citrus & tropical fruits, with a hint of toffee and caramel. Palate: A robust entry leads to a vibrant, off-dry full-bodied palate with nut toffee, rubber sap, brown spices and white pepper flavours. Finishes with a lingering fade of coffee, cocoa, cigar box, pepper, and a copper tang. A big powerful rum, yet balanced and approachable.

A most interesting small company dedicated to bottling single provincial rums & seeking to show off their selected rum's/rhum's/ron's distinct regional character and unique flavours...and some at great age!
This British Guianan rum (now Guyana, next to Venezuala) is a finely tuned pot distilled demerara (molasses) that has been fractionally blended using a sherry style solera system. Moderately rich and spicy.
And it's maturation: in the cool, damp conditions of the united Kingdom!

This dark & reddish rum hails from the tiny Central American nation of Gautemala. What took me with this rum is its vast age and the fact that its been fully matured in the warm and humid conditions of Guatemala. This is highly complex & long demerara pot distilled rum that shows plenty of wood spice, treacle & crisp caramel flavours.

What a name! And what a rum!!
Distilled 1986, bottled 2007 and fully matured in the cold, damp Island that is the United Kingdom. Four casks were married to produce only 1300 bottles.
And out of the entire Rum Nation catalogue, this is a medium bodied yet deeply flavoured, almost ethereal rum. It's very long, well rounded, subtle, lush and oh so sensuous! Brilliant!!

From the exotic Caribbean Island of Martinique comes this most fascinating and possibly the most intensive Rhum Agricole I've seen in ages. Made from fermented cane juice, this Rhum is intially very feisty and then the palate opens up showing plenty of white chocolate, cofee, butter and licquorice flavours. Very crisp and dry finish.

From Panama...you wouldn't think this micro nation would have enough cane fields to make a decent rum...but they most ceratinly do. For you see, the company that makes it, Caribbean Spirits, were originally from Cuba.
This 18yo is a beauty...rich, fully mature, showing lots of charm & character and chocked up with molasses, licorice, chestnut and baked apple flavours.

Now hands up those that have tasted , let alone ever seen a Peruvian or Peruano rum? I certainly haven't.
Now this 8yo Peruvian is lively, sweet and dare I say exotic: curiously tasting of glaceed fruit, milk chocolate and molasses.
