Gunpowder and rum share a long, common history in the British Navy - this release is even named "Gunpowder Proof" after the old method of testing a rum's strength by igniting gunpowder soaked in it.

Expert Description

Pusser's Gunpowder Proof Spiced British Navy Rum is a spiced Rum from Guyana, bottled at a full 54.5%.

Pusser's is built on the original recipe used by the Royal Navy for its daily rum rations until 1970, when the tradition was stopped. This release is spiced with selected spices on top of the powerful Guyanese rum base and bottled at "gunpowder proof" - the old strength at which the rum could ignite gunpowder if spilled on it, a simple but effective way to test alcohol content before hydrometers became common on board.

The name Pusser's is slang for "purser", the officer responsible for issuing the navy's rum rations - a duty that made the name a fixed part of British naval history.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Spiced, with dark molasses, pepper and a hint of smoke.

Palate

Powerful and warm, with clear spice and a solid alcoholic punch.

Finish

Long, burning and spicy.

In recent years Appleton has renamed its clear rum to Kingston 62 in certain markets, but this Old Version keeps the original name and recipe that many collectors still seek out.

Expert Description

Appleton White Old Version is a Jamaica Rum, bottled at 40%.

The rum is produced at Appleton Estate in the Nassau Valley of Jamaica, where the distillery has made rum since 1749. Appleton White was for many years the house's clear, unfiltered rum, but has since been rebranded to Kingston 62 in several markets with no changes to the recipe itself. This Old Version is bottled in the original 76 cl bottle under the classic Appleton White name, making it a piece of the brand's history for those who know the difference.

The result is a light, clean rum, where sugarcane and citrus meet a fresh, dry finish.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh sugarcane, citrus and a touch of tropical fruit.

Palate

Clean and light with a hint of spice.

Finish

Short and dry with lingering sugarcane.

Jamaica is known for molasses-heavy, ester-bomb rum - this bottle does something entirely different and goes straight to fresh cane juice.

Expert Description

SBS 2022/2023 Origin Selection Cane Juice 1423 Jamaica Rum is a white Rum from a single estate in Jamaica, roughly 1 year old, distilled directly from fresh sugarcane juice, bottled at 57%.

According to 1423, this release is the first commercially available example of a pure cane juice rum from Jamaica - distilled directly from fresh, unpressed sugarcane juice rather than the molasses Jamaica is traditionally known for. The rum comes from a single estate, was distilled in 2022 and bottled in 2023 with minimal cask influence, letting the fresh cane juice take centre stage.

The result is markedly different from the powerful, funky Jamaican style most people know - a brighter, greener and more direct rum, showing a completely different side of the country's rum tradition.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh, green cane juice, citrus and a hint of grass.

Palate

Clean and direct, with clear cane sweetness and a light mineral edge.

Expert Description

The Rammstein name is known from the stage, but behind the bottle lies a very different craft - a Caribbean blend, finished off in ex-cognac casks.

Expert Description

Rammstein Limited Edition Cognac Cask Finish is a Rum from Jamaica, Guyana and Trinidad, up to 12 years old with a finishing period on ex-cognac casks for 12 months, bottled at 46%.

The rum is a blend of distillates from three of the Caribbean's most respected rum-producing countries. The base is aged up to 12 years, after which it is moved onto ex-cognac casks for a further 12 months. The cognac casks give the rum a softer, more grape-sweet character on top of the powerful, molasses-heavy base, particularly from Jamaica and Guyana. The release is limited to 5,800 bottles.

The name is a nod to the German rock band, but the contents are pure Caribbean rum craftsmanship with no further connection to the music.

Three cultures, three cask types, one glass - Dos Continentes travels from the Caribbean through Spain to France before landing in the bottle.

Expert description

A. Michler Ron Espero Dos Continentes is a Premium Caribbean Spirit from the Dominican Republic, bottled at 40%.

Dos Continentes ("Two Continents") undergoes a triple maturation process. The rum first rests for 6 years at its place of origin in an ex-bourbon cask, before being moved to a former sherry cask and then to a former banyuls cask from southern France for a further 4 years of solera ageing. This journey through three cask types and three cultures - Caribbean, Spanish and French - creates a fusion that, according to A. Michler, brings harmony between flavour and aroma.

The rum is blended and matured from carefully hand-selected Barbados rum. Behind the A. Michler brand is a rum house with roots stretching back to the historic Albert Michler distillery, today part of the wider Caribbean rum scene.

Tasting notes

Nose

Sherry sweetness and dark berries from the banyuls cask, over a base of Caribbean caramel.

Palate

Full and complex, with layers of dried fruit, nuts and wine-like sweetness.

Named after an old type of cannon known for its rapid rate of fire - "coulverine", or "grass snake" in French - this rum is built to sneak up with a rapid burst of flavour.

Expert Description

Bombarda Culverin is a Blended Dark Caribbean Rum, 5-8 years old, aged on bourbon and white oak casks, bottled at 43%.

Bombarda's award-winning Lost Barrel Culverin Blend is a dark rum blend of three countries of origin - Barbados, the Dominican Republic and Panama. The name Culverin comes from "coulverine", an old type of cannon known for its rapid rate of fire, reflected in the rum's character: it sneaks up with a rapid burst of flavour. The rum is meticulously tropically aged on bourbon and white oak casks, giving a flavourful and cunning punch.

The Bombarda name generally draws on military-historical references, and Culverin is just one example of how the brand uses these throughout its releases.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Caramel, tropical fruit and a hint of spice.

Powerful and quickly unfolding with complexity from the three origins.

There is a cask strength version of Wagemut's PX-Cask for the truly curious - but this edition, bottled at a more everyday strength, is where most people should start.

Expert Description

Wagemut PX-Cask Spirit Drink is a Spirit Drink with Barbados Rum, aged 10 years with a finishing period in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, bottled at 40.3%.

The rum comes from Barbados and matures mainly in American white oak barrels in Germany at the German house Wagemut, before moving for its final three months into fresh PX sherry casks. This adds extra depth and nuance, while Wagemut's principles of authenticity and transparency ensure an honest production at every step. This edition is bottled with no added colour, but at a more approachable strength than the cask strength version.

The result is a well-balanced rum, where the Barbados character and the sherry cask's sweetness meet without the intensity that calls for dilution with water.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Raisin and a light nutty sherry sweetness.

Palate

Balanced, with caramel and a hint of spiced oak.

Finish

Soft with lingering sherry sweetness.

A numbered certificate accompanies this small bottle - proof that the contents come from one of the original gallon bottles the British Navy used for sailors' daily rum ration.

Expert description

British Royal Navy Miniature with Certificate is a dark Imperial Rum of unknown distillery, bottled at 54% in a small 5 cl collector's bottle with an accompanying certificate of authenticity.

The rum comes from one of the original "One Imperial Gallon" bottles carried aboard British Navy ships for distributing the daily "tot of rum". When the tradition was abolished in 1970, remaining stocks were recalled, and some of the rare gallon bottles only resurfaced many years later. To make the contents available to collectors, part of the rum has been bottled into small 5 cl bottles, each with a numbered certificate documenting its origin.

Only 70 of these miniature bottles with certificate have been produced, making each one a tangible piece of British Naval rum history - an era when navy strength sat well above ordinary rum, and where the very term "over proof" arose as a test of whether the rum could ignite gunpowder.

Tasting notes

Nose

Dark, molasses-heavy and with a distinct hint of age.

Palate

Powerful and raw, in the classic navy style at high strength.

Finish

Long, warm and lingering.

The term "proof" in spirits comes from the Navy's practice of testing rum strength by pouring it over gunpowder and trying to ignite it - if the gunpowder could still burn, the rum was "above proof".

Only casks from the top tier of Ron Abuelo's hot warehouses, where up to 15% of the rum evaporates each year, are selected for this intense edition of the house's 12 year old classic.

Expert Description

Abuelo XII Anos Three Angels is a Panama Rum double-aged 12 years in white American oak followed by extra-charred casks and bottled at 43%.

The rum is produced by the Varela Hermanos distillery in Panama and is a more intense edition of the house's award-winning Abuelo XII Two Oaks. Unlike the standard release, this uses only rum from the casks on the top row of Ron Abuelo's vintage pallet warehouses, where temperatures can reach as high as 35 degrees Celsius. The extreme heat increases evaporation, known as the angel's share, to as much as 15% a year, far above the 2-3% typically seen in Scotland, which gave the rum its name Three Angels.

The result is an intense, deeply flavoured rum, where toasted hazelnut meets dark chocolate and a long, lightly smoky finish.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Toasted hazelnut, sweet spice and exotic fruit with a touch of leather, dark chocolate and roasted coffee beans.

Palate

Intense and deep with character from the charred cask, vanilla and honeyed sweetness, dried plum and coconut.

Until 31 July 1970, known as Black Tot Day, every British naval officer received his daily rum ration. This 15 year old edition recreates the historic, Admiralty-approved blend.

Expert Description

Pusser's British Navy 15 Year is a Caribbean Rum aged 15 years in charred oak barrels and bottled at 40%.

The rum builds on the Admiralty-approved blend that was historically heavily influenced by rum from the double wooden pot stills of Port Mourant, Guyana, in operation since 1732. Pusser's Rum carries on the tradition of the daily rum ration that all British naval personnel received up until Black Tot Day in 1970, and has been dubbed "the single malt of rum" by Forbes for its craftsmanship.

The result is a rich, complex rum, where Demerara sugar and dark dried fruits meet caramelised biscuit and spice.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Classic Demerara sugar, molasses, dried fruits, island spices and caramel.

Palate

Caramel and dark dried fruit with a pleasantly smooth finish on charred oak.
