Havana Club Tributo 2019 - tasting on HAVANA CLUB UNVEILS TRIBUTO 2019, A MASTERPIECE CREATED BY THREE GENERATIONS OF MASTERS OF CUBAN RUM A very tasty spiced rum. Pleasantly surprised how good it was compared to others. Seemed very natural. I enjoyed with both both coke and ginger beer. The BushRumCo takes the flavours of the Caribbean and brings them to life by blending Guyaneserumwith tropical fruits and spices to create a range of spicedrumwith flavours that are bright, refreshing and subtly sweet. The task was equally tempting and daunting. A seductively lit wall of three dozen different flavors of “bush rum” with color and variety to surpass Baskin-Robins: tropical fruits like pineapple, orange and passionfruit; mysterious local herbs and spices like chook chook and pueve; and truly bizarre-looking concoctions like avocado and “tobac zombie.” Over the course of three nights at the RumFire Hotel Bar at the brand new Cabrits Resort & Spa Kempinski on the island of Dominica I thought, could I try them all?
Absolutely! It’s one of the many, many uncommon things to be found on the utterly uncommon island of Montserrat.
Symposium Spirits’ founders said in a statement, “while we live in an era where there are lots of choices – it felt like there was little to differentiate between portfolios and products with a singular approach. Rather than complain we decided to do something about it – we took inspiration from the merchants of the past and developed a portfolio and an offer that is relevant for today." Really great orange, pineapple, passionfruit and mango flavours coming through in this rum, best flavoured rum I’ve tasted so far. Was great with Lemonade and we tried mixed with grapefruit juice, pineapple juice and ginger beer – was a big hit! A Love Letter to I’m Sorry and a Tribute to Funny Moms in 3 Bits By Annie Berke September 6, 2023 | 11:48am Well what can I say. I love spiced rum and have tried lots, I was starting to think that Morgan spiced was the best of the bunch until I tried this one. Wow……. Amazing. Not so much a spiced rum but compared to other mango rums it’s in another league. I’ve just had it with cola and was blown away, even my wife liked it and she doesn’t like rum. Definitely up there with the greatest, my new favorite, you have to try it.
Australian wine brand Tempus Two has added a sparkling wine to its Copper series in the UK. The Copper Prestige Cuvée follows the successful launch of the producer’s Wilde Chardonnay into Sainsbury’s this year. The wine, which is made using grapes from south-eastern Australia, is fermented for two weeks in tanks before being blended and bottled. According to the producer, the sparkler has flavours of “crisp apple, green pear, pineapple and guava” and is said to pair well with seafood, oysters and soft cheese. London brewer Beavertown has launched a limited edition passion fruit Berliner Weisse called Passion Phantom. The beer is brewed with extra-pale barley and malted wheat to a strength of 3.5% ABV before being kettle-soured with lactobacillus then infused with passion fruit purée. The brewer said that it has “kombucha-style sourness” mixed with the sweetness from ripe passion fruit. The beer is part of a limited release project by Beavertown which sees new beers launch each month accompanied by their own Spotify playlist for the ultimate drinking experience. Californian wine brand Apothic is making its first foray into single-varietal wines with the launch of Apothic Cab. The launch this month is being supported by a PR, digital media and trade marketing campaign. The Cabernet Sauvignon is described as having a “silky-smooth texture, with jammy dark fruit and aromas of toasted oak and vanilla”. Brand owner E&J Gallo hopes that it will appeal to drinkers in the United Kingdom, where the brand has grown 20% in the past year. First, you have the bush. Throughout the Caribbean, many specific leaves, barks and roots have been used for thousands of years for medicinal purposes. A little arrowroot for this, a little “love vine” for that. Then, of course, you’ve got the rum. In this case, it’s the very rum my brother Steve mentioned just a few weeks ago: Wray & Nephew’s overproof rum. (126-proof or 63% alcohol by volume!)
With a nod towards tropical flavours, the Tropical Citrus rum encapsulates the essences of various fruits like pineapple, mango, and orange, presenting a spirit that is apt for a range of summer beverages. It’s noted to pair splendidly with lemonade, offering a refreshing drink option. The result is a gorgeous display of 36 different infusions of a 96-proof barrel-aged Macoucherie rum, each aged for a couple of weeks (herbs don’t take as long as the fruits). The variety and novelty makes for a tremendously fun drinking experience. And over the course of three nights last week, with much encouragement from both friends and staff, I became the first guest to taste them all. I’m pretty sure under Caribbean Pirate Law, that means I now own the bar. Regardless, here’s what I learned. This variant from Bush Rum Co. infuses its spiced rum with the flavours of ripe mangoes. The fruitiness of the mangoes does not overshadow the drink but rather melds well with the spices, offering a balanced taste. It is also suggested to make an excellent Mango Daiquiri.
Great Deal
