Zannanan is the Creole word for pineapple, and it's no coincidence that's exactly what this bottle tastes most of.

Expert description

Takamaka Zannanan is a Spirit Drink flavoured with pineapple and bottled at 40%.

The rum comes from Trois Frères Distillery on Mahé in the Seychelles and starts from the house's unaged Blanc rum, which is then infused with natural pineapple essences. The added sugar used in the flavouring means the product must legally be labelled Spirit Drink rather than Rum. The result is a vibrant, fruit-driven drink where the fresh pineapple is complemented by sugarcane and a hint of gentle spice from the base.

Tasting notes

Nose

Lively ripe pineapple, tropical fruit and a delicate vanilla tone.

Palate

Sweet, juicy and refreshing with pronounced pineapple flavour balanced by light cane sugar sweetness, citrus and a soft rum base.

Finish

Light and fruity with a lingering pineapple sweetness and a crisp, refreshing close.

Ten years of ageing in former bourbon barrels gives this dark Philippine rum a depth of dark chocolate and raisin, far removed from the light style known from Tanduay's white editions.

Expert Description

Tanduay 10 Year is a Philippine Rum aged a minimum of 10 years in ex-bourbon American oak barrels and bottled at 40%.

The dark amber colour and the ten years of ageing give Tanduay 10 Year a markedly more complex profile than the brand's younger rums, with clear influence from the former bourbon barrels. The edition has won a gold medal at the World Spirits Competition as well as awards at both the PR%F Awards and The Spirits Business Asian Masters 2024.

Tanduay, the world's best-selling rum brand by volume, shows a different side here, where Filipino rum is finished in casks from the French sweet wine Sauternes.

Expert Description

Tanduay Sauternes Cask Finished is a Filipino Rum, finished in Sauternes casks, bottled at 42%.

The rum is produced by Tanduay Distillers in the Philippines, a distillery with roots dating back to 1854 and today one of the world's largest rum producers.

Expert Description

The Rum Factory Double Cask Collection Oloroso Cask is a Barbados Rum, aged on average 8 years in ex-bourbon casks and then finished 6-9 months in an Oloroso sherry cask, bottled at 40%.

Tres Hombres 2017 Edition 19 La Isla Bonita Captains Choice is a Rum from Spain, distilled at the Aldea distillery on La Palma, matured 20 years in ex-bourbon and Spanish oak casks and bottled at 58%.

The rum is transported from the Caribbean and Europe exclusively aboard the sailing ship Tres Hombres, operated by Dutch shipping company Fairtransport, which champions environmentally friendly cargo shipping without the use of an engine.

Along the way, the rum also spent time in casks that previously held Pineau des Charentes and Oloroso sherry. Only the captain selects the casks that end up in this series.

A red-billed chough adorns the label, a bird that only thrives where the air is clean. Not a random choice for this young, organic rum.

Expert description

Tres Hombres Ron Joven Edition 0011 La Palma Blanco is a Rum from Spain, distilled from organic sugar cane harvested in May 2015 and bottled at 40.4%.

The sugar cane grows on the windy hills of the northeast side of La Palma, one of the Canary Islands, where the distillate rests briefly at the Aldea distillery before joining the schooner Tres Hombres in November. During the five-month voyage across the Atlantic, the rum matures in French oak casks, giving it an early, light cask influence despite its young age.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh sugar cane and spiced sweetness, with a hint of oak from the short cask maturation.

Palate

Lively and spiced, with a clear sugar cane character and a light, refreshing sweetness.

Finish

Short and clean, with lingering sugar cane freshness.

Trinidad Distillers Limited closed its doors in 2012, but single cask releases like this keep the distillery's legacy alive through Dràm Mòr's independent bottlings.

Expert Description

Distillers Limited 17 Year Dram Mor is a Trinidad Rum from a single cask, aged for 17 years and bottled at 57.5%.

The rum originates from Trinidad Distillers Limited, a distillery with roots dating back to 1947, which brought several smaller Trinidadian distilleries under one roof, and which was part of the Angostura group until its closure in 2012. The cask was selected and bottled by Dràm Mòr, the Scottish independent bottler founded by husband and wife team Viktorija and Kenny Macdonald in Dumbarton. The 17 years of ageing give the rum an unusual depth for a single cask release from a distillery that no longer exists.

The result is a powerful, complex rum, where tropical fruit and oak meet a long, spiced finish shaped by its high cask strength.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Tropical fruit, toasted oak and a hint of molasses.

Palate

Powerful and complex with spice and dark fruit.

Finish

Long and warm with lingering oak.

Five extra years in the cask make a noticeable difference in Blackadder's Raw Cask range, and this 16 year old Trinidadian rum shows how the longer ageing builds depth on top of the raw, unfiltered style.

Expert Description

Trinidad 2005/2021 Blackadder Raw Cask 16 Year Finest is a Trinidad Rum from a single cask, aged for 16 years and bottled at 64.7%.

Like the rest of the Raw Cask range, the rum is bottled by Blackadder International, the family-run Scottish bottler founded in 1995 by Robin Tucek, without any filtration or added colour. Compared to the distillery's younger 11 year release, this rum has spent five extra years in the cask, giving oak and spice more time to penetrate the spirit and round out the powerful Trinidadian style. The rum was distilled in 2005 and bottled in 2021 at a natural cask strength of 64.7%.

The result is a deeper, more rounded rum than its younger sibling in the range, where dark fruit and spiced oak meet a long, warm finish with a hint of tobacco.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Dark fruit, toasted oak and a touch of tobacco.

Palate

Full-bodied and spiced with molasses, dark chocolate and a hint of leather.

Finish

Long, warm and spiced with lingering oak.

Blackadder never bottles its Raw Cask series with filtration or added colour, meaning every bottle comes completely unadorned, straight from cask to glass.

Expert Description

Trinidad 2011/2021 Blackadder Raw Cask 11 Year Finest Trinidad is a Trinidad Rum from a single cask, aged for 11 years and bottled at 66.4%.

The rum is bottled by Blackadder International, the family-run Scottish bottler founded in 1995 by Robin Tucek. Under the Raw Cask mark, Blackadder bottles rum and whisky straight from the cask with no filtration whatsoever, neither chill nor mechanical, and no added colouring. This means small fragments of cask char can travel into the bottle, something Blackadder itself calls "cask throwings" and uses as proof that the rum is as natural as it can be. This Trinidadian rum was distilled in 2011 and bottled in 2021 after 11 years of ageing, at a high natural cask strength of 66.4%.

The result is an intense, spiced rum, where dark fruit and molasses meet a long, burning finish with notes of pitch and oak.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Molasses, dark fruit and a light smoky tone.

Palate

Intense and spiced with pitch, dark chocolate and toasted oak.

Old rubber tyres, unripe banana and motorboat fuel on the nose - do not be put off. This Trinidad rum from Adelphi is one of the most funky and fascinating single cask rums we have carried.

The name means crew member in Spanish, and Tripulante Caribbean Elixir is indeed made for those who want the full Caribbean sweetness on board, without too much fuss.

Expert Description

Palate

Soft and creamy with clear caramel notes, tropical fruit and a light spiced warmth from the rum.
