Goslings Family Reserve Old Rum
155 years seems long enough. So the deep, dark secret rum that Goslings has enjoyed for generations is now going public. Appropriately called Gosling's Family Reserve Old Rum, it is crafted from the same incomparable Bermuda blend that they use for their renowned Black Seal Rum. But, they leave it resting in oak barrels even longer, aging it until it has acquired an extra luscious, nuanced complexity much like a rare Scotch or Cognac. Consider it the ultimate sipping rum. A spirit this unusual deserves more than the usual bottle and label. So they lovingly take each bottle, hand label it, dip it in wax, number it, encircle it with a metal band and then place it in a straw-filled wooden box reminiscent of days past.
Takamaka Limited Edition Napa Laz White Rum 50cl
Takamaka Le Clos Napa Laz is the distillery's first 100% Seychellois sugar cane white rum. The master distiller meticulously controlled the fermentation process and carefully selected the 'hearts' during distillation. The 'heads' and 'tails' were redistilled to extract additional flavour, and the final blend comprises 16.5% of the year's hearts and 83.5% of the redistilled blend. Bottled at 53.4% ABV, the rum presents fresh aromas that evolve into herbaceous notes, green pepper, citrus zest, and exotic fruit. The palate offers a lively minerality balanced by fruity roundness, leading to notes of sourdough bread and umami. The long, lingering finish showcases mineral and peppery notes, echoing the initial aromas.
