All Dressed Up for The Summer
Havana Club is giving their Añejo Especial a little freshening up ahead of summer; a little more of a family vibe in terms of colour scheme.
Funky…
We’ve not got much in the way of specific details to share on this new release just now, but the fact that Carl Stephenson has been involved in the brands creation fills me with a great deal of confidence and a strong desire to taste some. Especially at the price-points indicated.
Liking the JAH45 website reference to Dagger rums as well…

Foursquare Rum Twitter Tasting
#FoursquareTT
When: 12th June 2018
From 7.00pm BST
Our Twitter Tasting series seems destined to remain focused on the island of Barbados, and I'm happy to say that this one feels a little closer to home for me, as the more observant amongst you will know that I do on and off-trade training for this particular company. On Tuesday 12th June, we'll be featuring a selection of rums from Foursquare Distillery, Barbados, co-presented by Richard Seale, the Master Distiller at Foursquare and a passionate advocate for Authentic Rum. Please make sure you apply for the draw, as it's all set to be a good one!
Time to Get Involved!
Bartenders... One of the better cocktail competitions has just launched for the 2018 season and it's well worth a moment of your time!
Press Release: Spirits innovator Emporia Brands and award-winning Chairman’s Reserve rum of St Lucia Distillers are proud to announce the launch of the 2018 Chairman’s Reserve Mai Tai campaign.
...And The Winner Is?
It's with a sense of sadness, I have to confirm it's not the UK's Agricole Princess, Ashera Goonewardene of The Beachcomber (London) - who by all accounts, fought her corner hard and won many friends in the process. Nope... The title went over the pond, so read on to see who took the top spot.
Causing A Stir...
Fans of Venezuela’s Don Juan Nieto Melendez – the 'face' of Diplomático Rum – prepare yourself: there’s a new expression set for release.
Revealing...
Following on from the success of the initial offering last year (2017), ExcellenceRhum has just announced the four rums comprising the 2018 release.
Calling All UK Bartenders...
Following the success of Yaguara’s ‘Cachaça Me If You Can’ cocktail competition last year, the family-owned Brazilian brand has announced that they will be running the competition again this year.
