Michlers Overproof Artisanal White Rum 0.7L 63% From here to now The "Michlers Overproof Artisanal White Rum" comes from the beautiful countries of Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago. The distillery has its origins in Buchsdorf in Silesia, which is now part of Poland. The distillery was founded by Albert Michler in 1863. Shortly after he imported the first Caribbean rums, he was able to win over the royal and imperial family. The current company headquarters is near Wales, more precisely in Bristol. You can still feel the influence from the times of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, as the aged rums in particular became well-known. These still play a major role in the distillery today, alongside all kinds of delicacies, such as various gins or absinthes. Then as now, quality is essential for the premium distillery. The exotic lifestyle Since the company is not based in the Caribbean, some may wonder how it manages to create a tropical rum. This is only possible through years of experience and good contact in the capital of rum production. With the distillery there and the skills of the master distillers, a unique Blanco rum is created. All ingredients come from the region, more precisely from the two islands of Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago. The distillery uses only locally grown sugar cane plants to extract the required molasses. The molasses is then fermented and then heated in traditional stills using the pot-still method in order to be able to distill the complex rum. Not only are the raw materials originally from the Caribbean islands, because even the master distillers who produce the end product have their roots there. They bring the necessary experience with them and give the rum that certain something. The exotic attitude to life is one of the decisive factors in how this white rum blend is created from various young spirits. A strong Blanco The rum was only stored for a short time in small white oak barrels in order to obtain a fresh appearance. It is already slightly sharp and estery on the nose. There are clearly pleasant wood and barrel notes that are surrounded by fruity tones. Spices and the typical molasses aroma, mangos, guavas, roasted nuts and citrus fruits are also noticeable, but the main flavor carriers are bananas and esters. The high alcohol strength of 63% ensures a strong taste and invites you to mix it in a cocktail. At the German Rum Award 2016, the complex rum took 3rd place in the overproof category.

Michler's Jamaican Artisanal Dark Rum 0.7L 40% Rapid success The British distillery has its roots in Silesia, a country that belonged to the former Austro-Hungarian monarchy and today lies largely in Poland. In 1863, Albert Michler founded his liqueur and spirits factory in the town of Buchsdorf, with which he soon became known throughout the empire and kingdom for his distillates. In addition to distillates made from local herbs, these also included imported rums from the Caribbean, making him one of the first dealers to buy exotic spirits and sell them in Europe. However, the greatest award for Michler and his distillery was probably his appointment as official supplier to the imperial and royal courts. As a result, all soldiers in the country were soon officially drinking his rum, as the company supplied rum to the army as well as to the nobility. Local products Today the distillery is based in England, but the spirit of the original founder lives on in people's minds and, above all, in the contents of the beautifully designed bottles. Dark rum is made from a variety of distillates, the mash of which is always made from original Jamaican sugar cane. The rum from this mash is distilled using the traditional pot still method, an original method in which only smaller batches can be distilled due to the small volume of the still, which increases the quality of the distillate. The young distillates now mature in white oak barrels for between 5 and 25 years before they are blended by skilled Caribbean distillers to create Artisanal Dark Rum. Coherent, dark beauty. The result after blending is a wonderful dark rum whose origin you can practically taste, after all, all the ingredients are from Jamaica and even the professional hands that made and seasoned it know and live the Caribbean traditions. The distillate is round, balanced and yet strong and expressive in taste, thanks to the up to 25-year-old spirits in it. Its aromas range from a spicy wood note from the oak barrels to fruity-sweet grapes and appealing notes of sugar cane molasses.

Austrian Empire Navy Rum Reserva 1863 Miniature, 0.05L 40% History and production of Austrian Empire Navy Rum Reserva 1863 Barbados is considered the cradle of rum. The tropical climate and fertile soil make the Caribbean island ideal for growing sugar cane. The actual sugar production also produces molasses, a thick, brown mass that still contains a lot of sugar and is the basic ingredient for rum distillation. English merchants discovered early on that, in addition to growing sugar cane, rum production in Barbados is a real gold mine and so many smaller distilleries were built on the island. The distillation of molasses rum is still firmly established in Barbados and fills Barbadians with great pride. The rums are mainly distilled in small pot stills and have a strong taste, with notes of molasses and caramel predominating. The name Austrian Empire Navy Rum Reserva 1863 goes back to the Albert Michler liqueur, rum and spirit factory, which was founded in 1863 in Buchsdorf, Austria-Silesia. In addition to the world-famous Buchsdorfer Magenbitter, numerous overseas rums were also imported and sold. However, with the end of the Second World War, the spirits factory had to be closed. Today, Albert Michler Distillery Int. Ltd is based in Bristol in the south of England. The Austrian Empire Navy Rum Reserva 1863 impressively revives Albert Michler's legacy and history. The Austrian Empire Navy Rum Reserva 1863 is an assemblage of the finest Barbados rums that were allowed to mature in barrels made of American and French oak. It is a typical representative of Barbados rums and deserves to be tasted. Taste of the Austrian Empire Navy Rum Reserva 1863 The Austrian Empire Navy Rum Reserva 1863 presents itself as is typical for a Barbados rum. Lots of molasses, caramel and honey on the nose, with light hints of coconut and bananas. The taste is wonderfully soft and round with notes of tropical fruits, chocolate and vanilla.

Summum Rum 12 YO Sauternes Cask Finish Miniature, 0.05L 41%

Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum Miniature – A Taste of the Tropical Island Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum brings the distinctive character of the tropical island of Mauritius to your glass in a convenient miniature bottle. Made from molasses, a by-product of the sugar industry, this golden rum is matured in oak casks to develop a harmonious combination of fruity, sweet and spicy notes. Bottled at 40% ABV, this 50 ml miniature is a lovely way to discover the character of Mauritian rum. Mauritius and Its Rum-Making Heritage Rum from Mauritius is a relatively rare discovery today. Only a small number of distilleries remain active on the island, which covers approximately 2,040 square kilometres. This was very different in the past: in 1878, as many as 37 distilleries were producing rum in Mauritius. The expansion of the sugar industry in the late 19th century had led to a rapid increase in rum production. However, as the European beet sugar industry grew in the following decades, sugarcane plantations in Mauritius declined, followed by the number of rum producers. Molasses-Based Production and Oak Cask Maturation The starting point for Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum is molasses, the syrupy by-product left over from sugar production. It is diluted with water and yeast is added to begin fermentation. During this process, the yeast converts the sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The fermented liquid is then distilled in column stills. After distillation, the rum matures in oak casks, where its flavours become more harmonious and it takes on delicate notes from the wood. Finally, it is brought to 40% ABV and bottled. Golden Colour and Exotic Aromas Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum displays a warm golden colour in the glass. The nose reveals delicate notes of banana, sugarcane and candy sugar. Together, these aromas create a pleasantly sweet and fruity first impression, reflecting the rum's tropical origins. Fruity and Spicy Flavours on the Palate On the palate, the rum offers a varied interplay of flavours. Hints of oak meet dried fruit, tobacco and papaya. Fruity impressions are complemented by spicy and woody accents, creating a balanced and layered tasting experience. The finish is medium in length, leaving a pleasant and memorable impression. A Handy Miniature for Tasting and Gifting Whether you want to explore Mauritian rum, give a small gift or add an interesting bottle to your miniature collection, Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum is a rewarding choice. Its convenient 50 ml format is ideal for a tasting moment and offers an appealing introduction to the rum-making heritage of Mauritius.

Lazy Dodo Rum 0.7L 40% Lazy Dodo? A rum with the name Lazy Dodo sounds unusual for a rum at first. However, when you consider the origin of the Lazy Dodo Rum, it becomes clear why the connection is not so far-fetched. The Lazy Dodo Rum comes from the island of Mauritius. The island state in the southwest of the Indian Ocean is considered one of the best places in the world for growing sugar cane because of its humid and warm climate, as well as its topography and very fertile soil. The rums produced locally are of a correspondingly high quality and are popular and sought after by rum lovers around the world. The island's heraldic animal is the legendary dodo bird, which has been considered extinct since the end of the 17th century. The dodo was a flightless bird, around one meter tall, that fed mainly on fermented fruit, nested on the ground and was considered to be slow and comfortable. Since the dodo had no natural enemies, it was considered to be very trusting and had no escape or defense behavior. This made it easy prey for humans and introduced, feral pets. Even if it sounds a bit harsh, the dodo is considered a "prime example" of a species eradicated by humans and this rum wants to make a small contribution to remembering this. The Lazy Dodo Rum The Lazy Dodo Rum is produced on one of the most fascinating plantations in Mauritius. The property includes a botanical garden with gigantic dimensions of 37 hectares as well as seemingly endless sugar cane fields, which is why this plantation is considered one of the most important on the island. The molasses obtained from the sugar cane grown on site is naturally fermented and carefully distilled by a master distiller. The individual rums for the Lazy Dodo Rum are then aged for up to 12 years in various types of barrels. In addition to French oak barrels, new barrels made of American oak, former bourbon whiskey barrels and some barrels that previously contained sugar syrup are used. This gives the Lazy Dodo Rum a very special taste. The amber-colored rum impresses on the nose and palate with fresh and exotic notes. On the palate, in addition to a good structure, it shows additional nuances of caramel, vanilla and oak. The Lazy Dodo is suitable for drinking neat (on ice) as well as in cocktails.

Takamaka Bay Rum White Overproof, 0.7 L, 69% History and production of Takamaka White Overproof 69 Rum: Takamaka, the name already sounds like vacation. Inevitably, a picture of turquoise sea, palm trees and sandy beaches appears in the mind's eye. And indeed: Takamaka is a rum made in the Seychelles from freshly pressed sugar cane juice, which combines the culture and flair of the island state. The numerous islands of the Seychelles are located in the Indian Ocean, about 800 km east of the African mainland. Due to the great distance from continental landmasses, a unique flora and fauna has developed over the millennia, which also differs from island to island and ensures a great deal of diversity. The climate is warm and humid, the volcanic origin with its fertile soil offers ideal conditions for growing sugar cane. In 2001, the two local d'Offay brothers decided to use the sugar cane from their own plantations to make rum, and Takamaka was born. Since then, numerous creations based on fresh sugar cane juice have appeared. All Takamaka products therefore delight with a very typical note that can best be described as a combination of fruitiness, sweetness and a slight grassiness. The Takamaka portfolio shines with a fruity, fresh white rum, a full-bodied brown rum, a spiced rum and a pineapple and coconut rum - all available here in our shop. The latest product is the Takamaka White Overproof 69 Rum. This is the undiluted version of the popular Takamaka White Rum, which with its 69% ABV makes quite a racket on the tongue and is particularly predestined for targeted use in cocktails. Like the other Takamaka products, the Takamaka White Overproof 69 Rum comes in a completely revised design. The bright turquoise shines like the Indian Ocean that surrounds the Seychelles, but leaves enough room for an unobstructed view of the crystal-clear contents. Tasting the Takamaka White Overproof 69 Rum: The Takamaka White Overproof 69 Rum forms long streaks in the glass and appears extremely oily. The bouquet is characterized by a phenomenal abundance of aromas. In addition to tropical fruits such as bananas, pineapples and mangos, there are also pears, apples, sugar cane and raspberries. Surrounded by earth and grass tones, a fine spiciness and roasted peanuts emerge in the background. On the nose, the Takamaka White Overproof 69 Rum is the archetype of a Rhum Agricoles, i.e. a rum made from fresh sugar cane juice, with a complexity that cannot be found in any other white rum. With its strong 69% alcohol by volume, the Takamaka White Overproof 69 Rum represents the true face of the Seychelles on the tongue: straightforward, unvarnished, natural and with a pinch of Creole flair. When enjoyed neat, however, you should consider diluting it with a few drops of water. Otherwise, the taste buds will be faced with an almost impossible task. With its rough, direct character, the Takamaka White Overproof 69 Rum takes every rum cocktail to a higher level and provides the necessary kick of sugar cane and tropical fruits. The Takamaka White Overproof 69 Rum also cuts a fabulous figure in the Ti Punch. However, you should be careful to use it sparingly, otherwise the sheer power of the distillate will be difficult to tame.

El Ron Prohibido Habanero 12 Year Reserva Rum 0.7L 40% ABV – Mexican Rum with a Mysterious History The Forbidden Rum of Mexico El Ron Prohibido Habanero 12 Year Reserva is a distinctive Mexican rum whose name recalls a fascinating chapter in the history of Spanish colonial Mexico. “Ron Prohibido” translates as “the forbidden rum”. Known at the time as Chinguirito or Habanero, this style of rum was prohibited in Mexico until 1796. The Spanish colonial authorities took strict measures against its production and consumption, with penalties including heavy fines, confiscation of property and exile. This association with a time of restrictions and controversy continues to give the rum its intriguing identity. Twelve Years of Maturation in Former Wine Casks El Ron Prohibido Habanero develops its distinctive character through twelve years of maturation in former wine casks. During this period, the rum gains aromatic complexity and its characteristic deep color. In the glass, it displays an intense dark brown hue with reddish highlights reminiscent of aged mahogany. The extended maturation and influence of the casks contribute to a layered profile in which fruity sweetness, nutty nuances and delicate woody notes come together harmoniously. Rich Aromas of Dried Fruit, Vanilla and Chocolate The nose opens with an expressive, sweet bouquet led by raisins and plums. As the aromas develop, notes of vanilla, walnut and butter emerge. Refined woody nuances mingle with hints of dark chocolate and a subtle touch of coffee. This combination creates a complex yet elegant aromatic profile, revealing the depth of this Mexican rum even before the first sip. Full-Bodied Flavour and a Silky-Smooth Finish On the palate, El Ron Prohibido Habanero 12 Year is harmonious and full of character. The fruity notes of raisins and plums continue, accompanied by nutty flavours reminiscent of walnut wood. Subtle hints of chocolate and coffee add further depth and refinement. The finish is long-lasting, smooth and velvety. The balanced interplay of fruit, sweetness, wood and gentle dark-chocolate bitterness makes each sip a layered tasting experience. El Ron Prohibido Habanero 12 Year – Mexican Rum for Special Moments With twelve years of maturation, a complex flavour profile and a remarkable story, El Ron Prohibido Habanero 12 Year Reserva is an appealing choice for rum enthusiasts looking to explore distinctive bottlings. It is particularly suited to sipping neat, allowing its different aromas to unfold at a relaxed pace.

Pusser's British Navy Gunpowder Proof Black Label Rum – Historic Navy Rum with Powerful Character Pusser's British Navy Gunpowder Proof Black Label Rum has a rich heritage closely connected to British naval history and the Royal Navy. Bottled at a robust 54.5% ABV, it recalls the traditional daily rum ration once served to British sailors aboard naval ships. Its distinctive maritime background, powerful character and rich aromatic profile make it a classic expression of Navy rum. The Royal Navy's Rum Tradition For centuries, sailors in the Royal Navy received their daily rum ration at precisely noon. Known as a “tot”, this serving was part of the crew's provisions and pay, and was also intended to boost morale on board. A standard ration consisted of approximately 70 ml of rum at 54.5% ABV. Depending on their rank, sailors received it either neat or diluted with water. This long-standing tradition came to an end on 31 July 1970, a date remembered as Black Tot Day. As scientific and medical understanding increasingly highlighted the health risks associated with regular alcohol consumption, the Royal Navy discontinued its daily rum ration. The Story Behind Pusser's Rum Nine years after the end of the traditional naval rum ration, Pusser's Rum Ltd. was founded with the aim of bringing the historic Royal Navy rum blend back to life. Company founder Charles Tobias acquired the original recipe, which calls for a blend of five different rums from the West Indies. The name Pusser's comes from the word “purser”, referring to the officer responsible for provisions and the distribution of supplies on board. In naval slang, this officer was known as the “pusser”. Gunpowder Proof – A Name Rooted in Naval History The term Gunpowder Proof is associated with a traditional method sailors reportedly used to check the strength of their rum ration. They mixed the rum with gunpowder and set the mixture alight. If it ignited, the rum was considered strong enough to meet the required standard. At 54.5% ABV, Pusser's Black Label reflects this traditional Gunpowder Proof strength. Its black and gold label also distinguishes it from the classic standard expression, bottled at 40% ABV and presented in navy blue. Colour and Nose In the glass, Pusser's Black Label Gunpowder Proof displays a deep, amber-like colour. Its rich texture leaves delicate legs along the sides of the glass. The nose is full and pleasantly sweet, revealing pronounced aromas of vanilla, caramel, toffee and candied orange peel, accompanied by tropical fruit. Subtle oak spice and gently bitter notes add depth and complexity in the background. Palate On the palate, this rum is powerful, full-bodied and intensely flavoured. Sweet notes of vanilla and caramel sweets are joined by gingerbread and warming seasonal spices. Cinnamon and cloves are particularly prominent. Fruity flavours of banana, mango and apricot add further variety, creating a rich yet balanced combination of sweetness, spice and tropical fruit. Finish The finish is exceptionally long, warming and intense. Oak spice becomes more pronounced, accompanied by hints of tobacco and leather. The sweet and fruity flavours gradually fade, leaving a lingering impression of rich wood and spice. Serving Suggestions Thanks to its high strength and expressive flavour profile, Pusser's Black Label Gunpowder Proof is excellent both neat and as a base for full-flavoured cocktails. It is particularly well suited to the Painkiller, the famous tropical cocktail in which robust Navy rum is combined with fruit juices and coconut. It also brings plenty of character and aromatic intensity to a wide range of other rum-based drinks.

Vizcaya Rum Cask No. 21 VXOP 0.7L 40% History and production of Vizcaya Rum Cask No. 21 VXOP: The Vizcaya Rum Cask No. 21 VXOP is produced by the world-famous Oliver & Oliver company in the Dominican Republic. The family business was founded in Cuba by Juan Oliver in the 19th century. The War of Independence and the revolution forced the family to emigrate to the Dominican Republic and continue rum production there. However, they have retained the original Cuban production process for their products, such as Ron Cubaney or Opthimus. The Vizcaya Rum Cask No. 21 VXOP differs from the rums usually produced in the Dominican Republic in that it is made using fresh cane sugar juice rather than molasses. This gives it a fresh, extremely fruity bouquet. After distillation, the Vizcaya Rum Cask No. 21 VXOP is stored for up to 12 years in former bourbon barrels made of American white oak. As is usual with Oliver & Oliver, the complex Solera process is used for maturation. The Vizcaya Rum Cask No. 21 VXOP is bottled at 40% alcohol by volume and in a graceful, elegantly designed bottle with gold emblems and a solid base. Taste of the Vizcaya Rum Cask No. 21 VXOP: The Vizcaya Rum Cask No. 21 VXOP immediately shows delicate, mild aromas of chocolate, brown sugar, caramel and vanilla on the nose. After some time in the glass, a surprising fruitiness is added that you would not initially expect from a Dominican rum. Pineapple, green apples, bananas, apricots and red berries come to the fore and form a great counterpart to the initial, dark, heavy aromas. In terms of taste, the Vizcaya Rum Cask No. 21 VXOP presents an incredibly mild and gentle character. The mouthfeel is extremely oily and coats all the taste buds for a long time. Dark, intense notes of first-class chocolate with a high cocoa content, honey and freshly cut vanilla pods immediately create a holiday feeling. These are accompanied by more fruity nuances of pineapple, mango and papaya. The finish is long and warming, with hints of tobacco, coconut and Christmas spices. This highly complex and extremely harmonious interplay of fruitiness, spice and mild sweetness ensures that the Vizcaya Rum Cask No. 21 VXOP comes without reservation. The Vizcaya Rum Cask No. 21 VXOP is undoubtedly one of the best rums from the Dominican Republic and is an absolute must for all fans of full-bodied, pleasantly sweet and complex sipping rums.

Skipper Demerara Rum 0.7L 40% History and production of Skipper Demerara Rum: During colonial times, large areas of what is now Guyana were occupied by the Dutch. The colony was called Demerara at the time, after the Demerara River, which meanders through the entire country. This name is still in use today and can also be found in the form of Demerara sugar or Demerara rum. While Demerara sugar is a very special type of cane sugar that is characterized by a high molasses content and a dark brown color, Demerara rum is simply a designation of origin for all rums that come from Guyana. This also applies to Skipper Demerara Rum. Skipper Demerara Rum is a highly aromatic blend of a total of seven different molasses rums from the famous Diamond Distillery in Guyana. Matured for at least three years in oak barrels, it shows rich aromas of molasses and coffee as well as a powerful body. The Skipper Demerara Rum has been produced since the 1930s and remains true to itself to this day. Over all these years, the label design has been retained and neither the recipe nor the traditional production methods have been changed. This has ensured the inimitably full-bodied, intense taste that makes the Skipper Demerara Rum perfect for all types of rum cocktails. Tasting the Skipper Demerara Rum: The Skipper Demerara Rum has a dark brown, slightly reddish shimmering color that is reminiscent of fine mahogany wood. In the nosing, it shows beguiling aromas of molasses, vanilla, caramelized fruit, bananas, raisins, baked apples and gingerbread. In the background, hints of lime also suggest a light freshness. It is already clear that the Skipper Demerara Rum will play the aromatic main role in mixed drinks. This is ideal for Tiki cocktails. On the tongue, the Skipper Demerara Rum has a strong, intense start with a full body and rich notes of rock candy, vanilla, dark chocolate and coffee. Spicy oak, cinnamon, cloves and allspice round off the fabulous taste wonderfully. The Skipper Demerara Rum has a long finish that leaves a pleasant sweetness on the tongue and palate. Due to its full-bodied, characterful taste, the Skipper Demerara Rum is perfect for any type of cocktail that requires a solid rum base. Try the Skipper Demerara Rum in a Dark & Stormy or Rum Old Fashioned.

This emotional matter of the heart makes it an obligation for the distillery to set an example for sustainability, integrity, tradition and craftsmanship. A real craft Over the decades, the company has adapted to modern times, but basic values that have always remained the same are still present. Each bottle of Old Monk Rum is handmade from start to finish. Therefore, it is a unique product, or rather, a one-of-a-kind, and its taste is also unmistakable! After distillation from molasses, the rum was placed in oak barrels to mature for at least a decade. Exotic, fruity! On the nose, the Old Monk XXX Black has a predominantly fruity, but not too sweet or spicy note. It has a typically Asian effect, which is probably due to the spices from Indian cuisine. The sweetness is even more evident in the taste, but the fruit and spice are not lost. The vanilla creates an apparently harmonious and round finish that you can rave about for a while. This Indian companion impresses down to the smallest detail and at an unbeatable price! For rum lovers who would like to enter the premium segment with a gentle drop. Enjoyed neat, the Old Monk XXX Black is an incredible firework!

La Belle Cabresse White Rhum 1.0L 50% The Blanc is the standard white rum from the La Cabresse company - other brands they make are La Cayennaise and La Coeur de Chauffe. Like all their rums, it's a column still product based on a 48-hour fermentation cycle of the fresh sugar cane juice harvested from their own fields, and it's bottled at 50% ABV. That's enough to give it some power without being too weak for a strong bar cocktail.
