Enmore Alpha & Omega 1988/1990, casks 40, 42 and 55, 51.6% – Jack Tar
Enmore Distillery in Guyana is an interesting one. With a quite well known brand in El Dorado, they also produce some different distillates, from the range of their setups. With that I mean that they don’t have a single distilling … Continue reading
Tres Caroni, La Lune, Limbo y Le Soleil, by Jack Tar
A new bottler announced itself a little while ago. A few years ago that would have been something quite regular, but it’s happening less and less. Probably because of a rather full market and getting hold of barrels of anything … Continue reading
The Nectar 15 Years Tasting Box

Finest Jamaican Rum, Over 25 Years Old, 50.1% – Wu Dram Clan
I guess the ‘expensive rum bug’ has bitten me too. After Michiel Wigman’s Precious Moments, which I still need to review, there’s this oldie. From an undisclosed distillery on/in Jamaica, to the Wu Dram Clan. On their Facebook page there’s … Continue reading
Hampden 8yo vs Hampden LROK
Hampden is a Jamaican rum distillery, and apart from profiting from the rum renaissance that’s been happening ever since whisky got so ridiculously expensive, they’ve been producing quality hooch for years. What’s more interesting from a geek’s perspective is that … Continue reading
2 new Caroni, 1997 and 1998, by Wu Dram Clan!
Getting to try Caroni is, by now, the rum equivalent of getting to try a new Port Ellen or Brora, except for the fact that it’s about 10% of the price. So, when Wu Dram Clan offered to send me … Continue reading

Beenleigh 13, 2007-2021, Cask 38, 63.4% – The Duchess
Once upon a time in the east, about 150 years ago there were a couple of farmers who bought some land in Queensland, Australia. These two Englishmen wanted to build a cotton plantation, but they didn’t. It turned out creating … Continue reading

Two rums by The Duchess: Worthy Park (Jamaica) and Diamond (Guyana)
I’ve had these samples for a while but for some reason sitting down and reviewing them hadn’t happened yet. A shame, but let’s do a bit of catch-up! Diamond Distillery 17yo, 2003-2020, 59.3% – The Duchess (Hummingbirds) A little bit … Continue reading
