Rum
Hunter Laing Kill Devil 11 Year Old Trinidad Single Cask Rum
Silky caramel and cinnamon lead a rich, composed aroma, followed by sweet orange, vanilla, treacle and raisin bread. The palate is rounded and gently sweet, with oak and warm baking spice giving the fruit measured structure. Nothing dominates the centre. The finish is concise but clean, leaving caramel, peppery spice, vanilla and a final touch of orange peel.
Zacapa 23 Sistema Solera Rum 1 L
Caramel, vanilla and cacao give the nose a soft, generous opening, joined by toasted nuts, banana and dried pineapple. The palate is full-bodied and layered, moving through apricot and dried fruit into savoury oak, nutmeg, coffee and tobacco. Cinnamon and ginger add measured warmth. The finish is long and composed, with honeyed butterscotch, spiced oak and dried fruit lingering together.
Zacapa No. 23 Sistema Solera Rum 750 mL
Dried fruit and apricot lead a generous, full-bodied palate, followed by savoury oak and nutmeg. Leather and tobacco add depth, while coffee and vanilla bring a softer counterpoint. Cinnamon and ginger provide a measured spicy lift without disrupting the rum’s richness. The final impression returns to dried fruit, coffee and savoury oak, with vanilla and spice keeping the full-bodied profile clearly defined.
Bonpland Guyana Uitvlugt 19 Year Old Rum 500 mL
Caramel, green apple and brown sugar open over ginger and a restrained smoky note. The palate is velvety yet structured, bringing pear, apple and wine-like fruit into warming spice and a lightly astringent grip. The cask influence adds depth without masking the rum's Guyanese character. The finish is long and smoky, carrying grape, ginger, tobacco and lingering dry spice.
Bonpland XO Premium Reserve Rum
Caramel and dark fruit lead a rich, rounded aroma, with vanilla and warm oak spice adding depth. The palate is full-bodied and softly sweet, balancing molasses-like richness with dried fruit and measured wood. Finishing in German wine casks brings a polished, vinous edge to the blend. The finish is long and gentle, fading through caramel, oak, dark fruit and restrained spice.
Brugal 1888 Gran Reserva Rum
Red and dried fruit open the aroma, with raisins and dates joined by cinnamon and oak spice. Toffee, vanilla and peach follow on the palate, alongside cocoa and clove. Double ageing in bourbon and sherry casks frames those fruit and spice notes. Honey appears toward the close, and the finish is long and elegant, carrying cocoa, oak spice and dried fruit.
