Ninefold is a brand that I like to keep an eye on. Dr. Kit Carruthers, the founder and master distiller of Ninefold, is actively experimenting with production and ageing methods, going to various events to promote his, periodically releasing limited edition bottlings solely destined for charity all while pretty much single handedly operating the distillery … More Review: Ninefold Cask Aged Pure Single Rum (Batch CA01)

November 22, 2019

The first bottle that will come out under Branker’s name is the new Mount Gay Pot Still Rum which I had the fortune to taste at the … More Review: Mount Gay Origin Series Vol. 2 – The Copper Stills

Review: Diplomatico Distillery Collection No1 (Batch Kettle Still)

November 22, 2019

From 40g of sugar (??) per litre to 0g/litre is quite the jump, and Diplomatico managed to release a (limited) range of unadulterated rums. The Distillery Collection has three releases, each distilled in one of the three stills used in blending Diplomatico’s core range: – No1 is distilled in a Batch Kettle Still – No2 … More Review: Diplomatico Distillery Collection No1 (Batch Kettle Still)
