Rum is a distilled alcoholic drink made from sugarcane by products, such as molasses, or directly from sugarcane juice, by a process of fermentation and distillation. The distillate, a clear liquid, is then usually aged in oak barrels.
The majority of the world’s rum production occurs in the Caribbean and Latin America. Rum is also produced in Australia, Portugal, Austria, Canada, Fiji, India, Japan, Mauritius, Nepal, New Zealand, the Philippines, Reunion Island, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Rums are produced in various grades. Light rums are commonly used in cocktails, whereas “golden” and “dark” rums were typically consumed straight or neat, on the rocks, or used for cooking, but are now commonly consumed with mixers. Premium rums are also available, made to be consumed either straight or iced.

This is a truly superb Guatemalan rum, blended using the solera system. Sublime stuff. This was matured in a mix of bourbon and sherry casks. The Beverage Testing Institute awarded this 98 points!
This pack comprises a bottle of Sistema Solera 23, alongside a pair of glasses. This blend is made from a range of rums, some of which have been aged for up to twenty-three years. The resultant flavour profile is sweet, spicy and award-winning.
A sure-fire hit from Ableforth’s, Rumbullion! is a cockle-warming spiced concoction, based on the kind of rich, full-bodied rums the seafaring fraternity would have enjoyed centuries ago.
At the core of this fabulous winter warmer lies a blend of the very finest high proof Caribbean rum, to which was added creamy Madagascan vanilla and a generous helping of zesty orange peel. A secret recipe was followed, finished with a handful of cassia and cloves and just a hint of cardamom.
Honeyed single estate rum from Venezuela with elements of bitter chocolate, nuts and buttery biscuits. It is made, unusually for a rum, through the solera process: casks of different aged rums are stacked vertically, the oldest (aged around 35 years) at the bottom, and as the distiller draws rum from one cask they top it up with younger liquid from the blend.

That Boutique-y Rum Company has bottled up a stunner here, hailing from an undisclosed Australian distillery. It’s given us a few clues – we know that the distillery is located in Queensland, it’s Australia’s oldest operating distillery, and it isn’t Bundaberg. That should give the rum Columbos out there something to work with.
Produced from Queensland molasses, fermented for 12 days before distillation, the rum was filled into a selection of American oak vats and casks in September 2007, where it remained for ten years. Towards the end of 2017, the rum was transported to the UK and filled into a fresh bourbon cask for its final four years.
The label features a marvellous boat with a distillery on board, it’s exactly the sort of unusual scene we’d expect to see on a Boutique-y label, but this time it isn’t made up! The S.S Walrus was a floating sugar mill that could be found sailing Queensland’s Albert and Logan rivers in the late 1800s, with its owner using excess molasses to produce rum.
Batch 1 is a release of 420 bottles.
The first release from That Boutique-y Rum Company’s Signature Blend range is here! Unlike the limited edition releases that make up most of That Boutique-y Rum Company’s selection, these expression will be continuous release, so you come back to them time after time – and after tasting them, you’ll definitely want to. Developed with Pete Holland (of off The Floating Rum Shack fame), this particular treat is made with a combination of unaged rum from Martinique and some particularly bold dark rum from Jamaica. It makes a phenomenal Daiquiri, we’ll tell you that!
Here’s the second Signature Blend from That Boutique-y Rum Company, and this stuff makes a mouthwatering Mai-Tai! Developed with Pete Holland (who you’ll know from The Floating Rum Shack), this terrific expression is made from a combination of particularly rich Guyanese rum and some wonderfully funky Jamaican rums, resulting in a flavour profile you’ll want to return to again and again. Luckily, you’ll be able to do so, as the Signature Blend series will be continuous releases from the Boutique-y bunch! Ideal!
A superb 17-year-old multi-column still rum from Trinidad Distillers Limited. Nowadays, rum in Trinidad is produced by one large-scale producer, but that wasn’t always the case. The story goes that the Fernandes brand was responsible for creating one of the most iconic bottlings of days gone by, from casks salvaged from a fire-damaged warehouse. Once the initial bottles ran out, the challenge of making more arose, so a number of different blending marques were used to recreate the correct profile. This right here is one of those blending marques, it’s a heavy-column rum that would likely have only been used in small amounts in the original blend, but here’s the opportunity to try it untouched, in all its long-aged glory, thanks to That Boutique-y Rum Company.
Batch 2 is a release of 330 bottles.
From Trinidad’s Tencane distillery, this 14-year-old pot distilled rum joins the Cinema Series from That Boutique-y Rum Company. Distilled from pressed sugarcane juice, the rum originally matured in Trinidad and Tobago, before being transferred to Barbados, and finally ending up in the UK. A richly oaky, tannic sipper, balanced with plenty of jammy dried fruit tang.
Batch 1 is a release of 288 bottles.

Trinidad Distillers is the production facility for the Angostura brand. It was built by the company in 1947 to produce rum for its world-famous bitters, in addition to distilling bulk product for export. The distillery’s original set up was a single Savalle column still, however this was replaced with a five-column still in 1975, following investment from Bacardi who required more bulk rum. Two more of these multi-column stills were added in 1985 and 1999. Some experimentation briefly took place with a Vendome pot still in the early 2000s as well, however this was quickly sold to St Lucia Distillers by their shared parent company at the time, CL Financial. The company was forced to divest much of its rum portfolio following the financial crash in 2007, but retains a majority stake in Angostura after it was bailed out by the local government to prevent what it felt was a national treasure being lost to foreign ownership. Trinidad Distillers remains one of the largest rum distilleries in the Caribbean, producing around 8.5 million litres per year.
A 9 year old was distilled in 2006 and bottled in 2018 by La Maison du Whisky after 7 years tropical and nearly 5 years continental ageing.
La Maison du Whisky, aka LMDW, was founded in 1956 by Georges Benitah and is now one of the largest whisky and rum importers and distributors in France, and known the world over. They opened their first shop in Paris at the legendary 20 Rue d’Anjou in 1968, importing their first Scotch malt whiskies in the 1970s. They are known for their expertise in not only Scotch, but Japanese whisky and rum too, and their collaborative bottlings, as well as their own independent labels like this one, are highly prized.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Crystal clear. This is an inference based on the white rum style and the product identity.
Nose: Bold, punchy, and expressive, with bright sugarcane-driven rum character, tropical lift, and a hot overproof edge. This is an inference based on the product style, strength, and Jamaican overproof profile.
Palate: Powerful and full of energy, with intense rum sweetness, grassy freshness, and a fiery, spirit-forward structure. This is an inference based on the overproof format and your site’s description of it as a very potent spirit indeed.
Finish: Long, warming, and forceful, with lingering rum intensity and a clean, high-strength close. This is an inference based on the 63% ABV and category style.
