Naga “Full Proof” Kingdom of Siam 10YO Thailand Rum – Review
Naga’s full proof 62.3% ten year old rum from Thailand, is the one that lies at the core of all the others in the range. For the standard 10YO, they diluted it to 40%. For the “Shani” version, they aged it an additional year in P/X. But for my money, had they simply started out [Click here for the full review...]

Naga “Shani” Kingdom of Siam 11YO Thailand Rum – Review
The label of the “Shani” requires some explanation. Part of the branded Naga line of rums — a sort of cross between a merchant bottling, a contract rum and an independent bottling — it is made in Thailand by ThaiBev and released by Sebastien Folloppe, a consultant and marketer in the rum world who once [Click here for the full review...]

Naga Indochinese 10 YO Rum (Thailand) – Review
We’ve run into Naga and its rums before, back in 2019 at the Paris Rhumfest that year, when we tried their Indonesian lineup. There’s a reason those rums and not the ones from Thailand were there, and that backstory is so interesting (and lengthy) I have elected to include it below this review, so let’s [Click here for the full review...]

Ron Viejo de Caldas “15” Gran Reserva Especial (Colombia) – Review
Introduction Very early on in this gig, I came across an underproofed Colombian rum, the Ron Viejo de Caldas 8YO, bottled at a flaccid 35%. It was a product of Industria Licorera de Caldas (ILC), a distillery located in Manizales, a city in the department of Caldas, about an eight hour drive to the west [Click here for the full review...]

Nobilis No. 42 Diamond 2014 8YO DHE/PM (Oloroso Cask) Guyana Rum – Review
The Danes love their rum. Like, I mean, really love it. For a country as small as they are (just under six million), they drink more than any of the other Scandinavian countries. AH Riise, Skotlander and Hansen are major rum brands, there are an even dozen or small and mid-sized distilleries making rum scattered [Click here for the full review...]

Rum Club Private Selection No. 63 “The Beast” Blended Rum – Review
Introduction and background As I’ve noted before, perhaps the best rum shop in Germany is the Rum Depot in Berlin, run by Dirk Becker, the man behind the annual German Rum Festival, itself one of the top rum-focused spirits expos in the world. I’ve been coming to this place regularly since 2012, a practice that [Click here for the full review...]

Below The Salt “Trois Capitaines” Merchant Reserve Navy Rum: The King’s Cut – Review
Introduction If you recall, a few weeks ago Cap’n Colp hove into view, all flags waving and bunting streaming, and rolled a barrel into my house. No, really. Uninvited, unexpected, unannounced (I hesitate to say “unwanted”) he took out his trusty thief, jammed it into the barrel, and poured me a shot of liquid gelignite [Click here for the full review...]

Habitation Velier Foursquare 2021 LFT Unaged White Rum – Review
I still remember the hushed rumours that swirled around the rumiverse even before the 2022 TWE Rumshow opened its doors. Richard Seale had something new, something original and something fierce in his leopardskin rock star trousers, and while supposedly it wasn’t officially on the shelves, maybe a sly wink and a significant nod to Pete [Click here for the full review...]

Phraya “Deep Matured” Aged Thailand Rum – Review
The top end release of the Phraya triptych of aged rums that is released by Sang Som distillery in Thailand clearly seeks to dominate the premium aged rum space in Asia, and proudly boasts of the 8 gold medals it has won in various spirits competitions from 2012 to 2024. The bottle is handsome to [Click here for the full review...]

Phraya “Elements” 8YO Thailand Rum – Review
In a previous review I looked at the entry level Phraya aged rum from Thailand, called “Elements”, and this one is not too far distanced from that one, except in so far that it has a definitive age statement – 8 years. However, it is an ongoing blended rum, so there is not a year [Click here for the full review...]

Mount Gay Single Estate Blended 5YO Rum (Release #1, 2023) – Review
Introduction Perhaps it was inevitable. The spirits market has been on a downturn since COVID receded and rum has been hit hard. Several mid range indies have gone under or are having financial woes, while the bigger and well known big name producers – Mount Gay, Appleton, DDL et al – are being forced to [Click here for the full review...]
