The Rumelier collects rum from all over the world. Most of his rum collection is bought locally in the
Turks and Caicos Islands. He will pick up bottles when he visits other countries and relies on friends and family to pick
up a bottle or two on their travels. Some weeks he may get lucky and aquire several new bottles, other weeks he may not find
any.
Some of the collection has been purchased on-line, especially the vintage bottles. The Rumelier also has some favourite places around the world where he can purchase rum on-line. A lot of companies will not ship rum to the Turks and Caicos Islands for various reasons, so, when he finds one that will, he will use it often, especially when buying rums not available in the Turks and Caicos Islands. This page will show the most recent additions to The Rumelier's collection. It will not include refills, but will include variations in size, labels, design or vintage.
Rum Bottle Story of the Week This week's rum bottle is Mount Gilboa Triple Distilled Pot Still Rum from Barbados. The
Rumelier discovered this rum while attending the Rumfest in London, England. This is not commercially available
in the UK, but the Rumelier did manage to acquire a bottle of this fine tasting rum from the person directly responsible for
it's distillation. Mount Gilboa is situated in the northern point of Barbados, in St.Lucy
Parish, where they have been making fine rums for over 300 years. This tradition continues today with this pot still rum,
being made by direct family descendants of the distillery founder Aubrey Ward (you will see his signature on every bottle
of Mount Gay rum). Making rum was Aubrey Ward's relentless passion. This passion has continued
into his fourth generation descendant, Frank Ward Jr. creator of this unique rum. The rum
is triple distilled using only pot still rum. No continuous still rum is involved in the blend and no caramel or colourings
are used in the final blend, so colour may vary from batch to batch. The rum will only be
available at duty free stores in Barbados and will not compete against Mount Gay rum in the local market. It will retail for
approximately $US50 when available. The rum is being produced by The Rum Refinery of Mount Gay Limited which is a separate
entity from Mount Gay Rum, the most famous rum to be produced in Barbados. They make the rum for Mount Gay and later sell
it to them. There is a law in Barbados that goes back centuries stating that rum distillers were not allowed to produce,
age and bottle their rums in the same location. Mount Gay rum actually puts in many miles up and down the island before it
is actually bottled. This rum continues the long tradition of producing fine rums from the birthplace
of rum Barbados.
