Well sorry for the delay on this response. I tasted quite a bit of the 23 year at this time. I feel its not 23 years. I just don't see much of a difference between the 9 and 23 year. These are my initial thoughts. The 23 is somewhat less hot but its ABV is also less. There isn't any added complexity...

Warning: Rhum Clement bait and switch
Not sure where to start here so... I tried Rhum Clement select Barrel lot 85 of year 2015 earlier this year. I fell in love with the Rhum. It was excellent complex, a rhum to suggest to others getting into aged cane juice Rhum at 28.00 a bottle. It was clearly not chill filtered with sediment in the...

I'm buying from England Nomad. They should be available in the US any day now. The bottles for the west coast had cleared customs and were at the distributor two weeks ago. Don't expect a wide release, they will only be available in select shops on the west and east coast. Seale's other products ar...

Well, the 9 year variant is officially tested now. I tested this on two Hydrometer's of different brands as a fail safe on this. Both Hydro's showed about 50.2% ABV. There was a temp reading of 27.9C. This goes to 47.2% ABV. It's fair to say that there is no added sugar or otherwise in this bottle. ...

To get back to this... I tend to disagree completely with the pirate here. I find his comment to be not only insulting to hard working American entrepreneurs but clearly uneducated in American rum. If there is no movement in this process why has there been so so many distilleries in the US now makin...

As it's always good to in Ralfy's words somewhat to go traveling down some other streams in the spirits world. As of late I have done some mainly single malt scotches. It's only then you get the true appreciation for your main spirit. That said I'll crack my bottle open of this Rum tomorrow and repo...

River Antoine rum distillery in Grenada has been open since 1785 and little has changed in their production methods. They still run on water wheels and wood fires. Some of the machines parts are still original. Here is a link to some pictures: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g147295-d1...

US rum Dept - Bayou select review
After trying to get back to normalcy after the Montanya rum incident, I found a local store carrying Bayou Rum, distilled in Lacassine, Louisiana. I bought the Select and white labels. They also have a spiced rum and a Satsuma Rum Liqueur, both labeled correctly. The distillery was opened in 2013 an...
