I would be very disappointed to find out that even Appleton would be adding sugar to their premium offerings. They do, but not a lot. EDIT: To chill out some, I admit I do not possess any proof of this, ok? Don't take my word for it, study the situation please on your own. God knows no distillery w...

Heh, Serge must be right on this one...which also means that the 21yo Appleton has been "reconstructed" with essences and sugars added in the recent years. I've got several bottles of old Appleton 21yo, used to come in a cardboard box at first and then for a while in a metal tin (see below...

Wow, the lower image (originally powerpoint) was created by a good colleague of mine, Mr. Visamo

Does anyone have pics of the Barbancourt distillery's 2-column?

Another domino falls... In a spirit of fairness, Cyril states he even contacted La Favorite who he states admitted alteration with an old "recipe" that was alledged to include "spices and natural candied fruits" and all "authorized by the AOC". I was under the impressi...

In short term, by closing business with Velier and Gargano, El Dorado stops the connoisseurs from getting any real Demerara rum - what we will get is the El Dorado liqueurs (which I personally at least would not waste my money on - no need to encourage the makers of liqueurs masked as rum in my opin...

Kidding, rite? I'd like to believe so...? Like sayin' who didn't do crack in 2000s in city XYZ..

Unbelievable.

Senor Burr the rum promoter once told me "rum is fun - you are not". Nope, I'm not this much fun at all...! I guess "coke is fun too". Me, I don't do drugs or smoke cigarettes, cigars, anything - alcoholic substances in moderation is quite enough, thank you. Seen drug abusers go ...

I really hope that as many as possible sign this petition, because it may start a change - and be a first step in achieving honesty in rum business.

So many rum bloggers, rum fans out there - sign it please, for Rum's sake.

After all the Z rums all claiming 15+ years of aging, this is an eye-opener hopefully to many on the fact that in tropical conditions and with the right rum, it don't have to be aged long (or advertise being so, lying) to be good. Glad to see it was properly reviewed now after my hasty notes trying ...

Too many chemicals in d rum...

Got 3 bottles of this through a special order at my state liquor store here in PA. We can't buy any hard liquor anywhere but a state store here in PA. It was $30 a bottle and because it was a special order I had to order 3 bottles. Worth every penny. A beautiful rum that makes amazing cocktails. Pr...

Interesting discussions at the FB Rum club. As one named Burr linked yet another paid/sponsored article there which announced that "Rum's ready to rebound" (rebound from what?), "the usual suspects" (myself, Cyril, Marco, and a few others) started discussions on how misinformed t...

Interestingly it seems that under the name "Enmore" other styles of rum (read: rum from other stills) has also been bottled, so this may not be the case. From the website Barrel Aged Thoughts - http://barrel-aged-thoughts.blogspot.fi/2015/01/bb-demerara-rum-enmore-still-versailles.html &qu...

I have not been a fan of this rum ever, although I must admit that in the earlier 2000s it was better than it was a few years later when the popularity boomed. Nevertheless it is heavily sugared, fairly thick rum that never really excited me much. What is interesting is the trail of sugaring, and ch...
