The Rumelier and Caribbean Rum

Previous Rums of the Week

Ron Mulata from Cuba. A great example of the lighter style of Cuban rum.
A fine, smooth rum for mixing in your favourite cocktail. Not many Cuban rums are available in the Turks & Caicos, so it was a pleasant surprise to find this rum. Also found were Anejo Reserva, Silver and Lime versions of this brand. Now The Rumelier can make a real Mojito and Cuba Libre.

Ron Barcelo Añejo from the Dominican Republic. Not the biggest selling rum from the DR but surely one of the best. This is the perfect mixing rum when you need to taste some rum flavour. Smooth as an añejo rum can get. This rum has been a staple of The Rumelier's collection for years. Now comes in an attractive new bottle.
Very Highly Recommended.

Mount Gay Extra Old from Barbados. Hundreds of years of distilling experience have gone into producing this amazing rum.
This is the standard that all rum producers should be aiming for. One of the best premium sipping rums available anywhere in the world. This should be in every rum lovers collection.
Very Highly Recommended.

Mount Gay Extra Old From Barbados.

An example of premium aged rum at its best.

Ron Zacapa 15 Year Old from Guatemala. A premium sipping rum, perfect after dinner drink. Not as sweet as it's more famous sister, Zacapa 23 Year Old. This rum obviously benefits from its extensive ageing at altitude, high up in the Guatemalan Mountains. Aged in the Solera System of ageing so the age statement is a little misleading.
Very Highly Recommended.

Brugal Extra Viejo from the Dominican Republic. A great mixing rum, from a country that is becoming one of the leaders in rum production. The Brugal range of rums have a very distinct flavour to them, that you will not find in other Domincan rums. They come in a handy 375ml bottle, the preferred way to drink rum in the D.R.

Appleton Master Blender Legacy from Jamaica.

Admiral Rodney Extra Old St.Lucia Rum.

Admiral Rodney Extra Old St.Lucia Rum from St.Lucia Distillers is one of The Rumelier's favourite rums. This is definitely a sipping rum, best drank straight or on the rocks. The rum is named after a famous British navy admiral who was based in the Caribbean for several years and was best known for his victory over the French navy at the Battle of the Saints. The rum comes in a nice french bottle with a cork and wood stopper.
Very Highly Recommended

Appleton Estate Master Blender's Legacy from Jamaica. This is a incredibly smooth rum from the Appleton Estate range. This a tribute to three generations of blenders at Appleton, past, current and future. The heart of this blend is 30 years old, a bargain at the price.
Very Highly Recommended

El Dorado 21 Year Old from Guyana. This rum is consistently rated one of the world's best rums. This is a Demerara rum from South America. Some of the rums in this fantastic blend are distilled from the only wooden Coffey Still in the world, which is attributed to the unique style of the El Dorado range of rums. This rum is designed for the rum connoisseur and definitely for sipping.
Very Highly Recommended

El Dorado 21 Year Old from Guyana.

Consistantly rated one of the top rums in the world.

Ron Barcelo Imperial from the Domincan Republic.

A really well rounded smooth rum.

Ron Barcelo Imperial from the Dominican Republic is a highly rated rum amongst rum lovers around the world. Although not available in every market this rum is really worth hunting down if you can. Barcelo rums are not the most popular in the Dominican Republic for some reason. It now comes in a very attractive new rectangular bottle, which would make a great addition to any rum collection.

Highly recommended.

This is the best offering from Cruzan Rums.

Ron Abuelo 7 year Old from Panama.

Ron Abuelo 7 Year Old from Panama.

This rum is a relative newcomer to The Rumelier's collection, but it made a sudden impact. This is a fine rum made in Central Panama by Varela Hermanos. This company have about 90% of the spirit sales in their country. They grow their own sugar cane, a rarity these days. This results in a rum of brilliant colour with nut and caramel tastes.

Highly Recommended.

Don Q Rums have been produced by the Destileria Serralles in Ponce, Puerto Rico since 1932. The distillery also produces Captain Morgan and Ron Rico rums, which with Don Q rums account for 60% of the rum sold on the island.
