Instagram post 2195395944622868411_2236880171 Been meaning to post these for a while - AMAZING chocolates by the wonderful @sianpetter !

These truly were a delicious treat. A special series combining delectable hand made chocolates and sublime rums from the world renowned @foursquare_rum_distillery !

I can't properly put into words how tasty these were! The whole lot was devoured over a short period of time, even others who weren't a fan of rum or spirits in chocolate really liked these! The chocolate was delicious, the flavour combinations first-rate, and as a rum fan truly a delightful  pairing with chosen rums!

Whilst these may be gone, do yourself a favour and check out @sianpetter and her website - www.exotictramp.co.uk ! If you are in need of a scrumptious treat it is definitely recommend to get some! 😋
Instagram post 2195376724333832160_2236880171 This evening's updates are brought to you by day nine of the @drinksbythedram #dramvent calendar! Behind today's door was @zacaparum Ron Zacapa Centenario Sistema Solera 23 rum!

Comprised of rums aged 6 to 23 blended together using the Solera method. Goes down smooth 
I remember buying a bottle of this many years ago, was probably the most expensive bottle I'd bought at the time and was a vast improvement over other things I was drinking back then! 😅

Alas palates change and now I find this a little too sweet but still pleasant and recommend it to people looking for a sweeter sipper.

Having a search online brings up some interesting details and some big names in the rum/Rhum/spirits world!

Coming from the wonderful looking island of Marie Galante of the coast of Guadalupe its a Rhum agricole bottled at 41% made from varieties of sugar cane that had previously disappeared and uses traditional techniques for production.

I found this very enjoyable and and full of flavour. Something to check out in the future for sure!

Day #7 brought a real treat! @doorlys.uk 14 year old rum! A real #Bajan beauty from @foursquare_rum_distillery !

I really enjoyed this, although I would have to say that as I already own a bottle of this top rum! Though I must sheepishly admit I made this tot into a delicious corn'n'oil!
Instagram post 2195348381475699495_2236880171 Forgot to add - created a tasty little #Daiquiri with the @drinksbythedram #dramvent rum advent calendar sample of @rhumtroisrivieres Cuvee de L'Ocean! It certainly hit the spot, high on the delicious and refreshing scale! 😋

Instagram post 2195341462115531540_2236880171 Playing catch-up with the posts but enjoyed the rums daily; this was day five of #dramvent !

@diplomaticorum Mantuano! Coming from Venezuela, bottled at 40% and made from a blend of column still, batch kettle and pot still rums its an easy sipper!

Check out @drinksbythedram / @masterofmalt if you want in on a calendar, theres many days to go before Christmas! Or @specialitybrand for more info on this bottle!
Instagram post 2192290229847040674_2236880171 Yesterday I got to attend the press launch of @mainbracerum rum!

There was a smorgasbord of samples, cocktails and nibbles whilst Richard and Liam from @mainbracerum took us through their brand and vision covering the makeup of the rum, history, design choices and ideas for the future.

It's a recently launched rum brand founded by a collective of family and friends. Based out of Cornwall this rum has a strong nautical theme. The name, Mainbrace, is in reference to a heavy piece of running rigging that supported the main mast of a ship. If this was damaged it would impact control and manoeuvrability so prompt repairs were crucial. Undertaking this task in the heat of battle was a dangerous and arduous task so any crew who undertook the repair were rewarded with a double ration of rum!

Evolving from an order for one of the most difficult emergency repair jobs, it became a euphemism for authorized celebratory drinking post repair and over time the name of an order to grant the crew an extra ration of rum. 
This phrase has been adopted by @mainbracerum due to their "splicing" of two styles of rum. They continue the historical naval theme with the star emblazoned cork stopper and bottle shape along with design cues and motifs relating to the subject matter.

Onto the liquid itself! This rum is unique in that it blends two styles of rum together - agricole rhum and English naval demerara style rum. 
The agricole component comes from La Favorite in Martinique and its counterpart being a blend of 2-5 year old Guyanan rums from three different stills: a double wooden pot still in Port Mourant, a wooden Coffey still originally found at the Enmore Sugar Estate and a four column French Savalle still.

The end result is a rum that works equally well as a neat sipping rum but will be very versatile in cocktails too! ***Continues:

46% Abv, no added sugar, all pot still distillates leads to that characteristic 'funkiness' that I love. Very flavorful and moreish!

Really like this rum, amazing on its own but I also like to use it in one of the best tasting #MaiTai cocktail recipes I've tried!

Have some rum, it is fun!
