Doorlys 5 Year Old Rum
Rum has been produced on the island of Barbados for more than 300 years, but it was not until the 1906 Rum Duty Act was passed that the industry began to develop as we know it today. Prior to this, distillation took place on many of the plantations, but the new law meant the distilleries had to obtain a licence and could sell only in bulk. Hence many of the Bridgetown trading companies became bottlers, including Martin Doorly & Co, and the growth of branded names began. Martin Doorly evolved into Doorlys Macaw Rum, and became the first bottled rum exported from the island. Doorlys rums are still famous throughout the world and are made at one of the worlds most modern rum distilleries, Foursquare Distillery. Amber, with a complex, dried tropical fruit nose. A vibrant entry leads to an evolving palate of fruit, toasted coconut and oak notes. Finishes with a fruity sweetness and warmth, but has a balanced lingering taste with a butternutvanilla aftertaste. A well -developed five year-old rum.
Minoki Coral Filtered Mizunara Cask Finished Rum
Minoki Rum is a unique Japanese spirit that blends the artistry of traditional rum-making with the precision of Japanese craftsmanship. Inspired by the legend of Japan’s first emperors, said to have descended from an ocean princess-dragon residing in a palace of coral, Minoki Rum is finished in rare Mizunara oak casks, renowned for imparting complex flavours such as sandalwood and coconut. It is also the world’s first coral-filtered rum, a process that enhances smoothness while giving the spirit a distinctive character. Made from high-quality sugarcane sourced from local farms, Minoki undergoes careful distillation and maturation, resulting in a refined, balanced rum. On the nose, Minoki Rum reveals tropical fruit aromas, including hints of Japanese plum, while the palate offers smooth oak complemented by bursts of coconut, passionfruit, and lime. The finish is complex and well-rounded, concluding with subtle buttery notes. As the world’s first rum brand dedicated to coral protection and restoration, Minoki embodies sustainability while delivering a truly exceptional tasting experience. Best enjoyed neat, this 70cl rum exemplifies the harmony of Japanese tradition, tropical influences, and innovative rum-making techniques.
