Uitvlugt 27, 1993-2020, Refill Bourbon cask 5, 50.1% – The Duchess
A little while ago I got another awesome rum sample from Best of Wines, but I waited a little while to sit down for it and give it the attention it deserves. It’s another one in The Duchess’ Hummingbird series … Continue reading

Diamond Distillery 20yo, Guyana, 50.8% – The Duchess
This is a bit of an interesting one, as was the Foursquare from a few days ago. The Foursquare was matured in both bourbon casks (fairly regular) and sherry casks (fairly unique). This one is matured in Armagnac casks, even … Continue reading

Caroni 21yo, Trinidad, 64.1% – The Duchess
