Captain Morgan Black Spiced 1.0 L 40% The legend of Captain Morgan! Sure - everyone knows Captain Morgan! At least anyone who has been to a (student) party or a disco in recent years. But who was this Captain Morgan? Captain Morgan was a native Welshman who went by the name of Henry Morgan and left his birth country in 1654 to seek his fortune on the Caribbean islands. As a privateer, he quickly made a name for himself in the western, tropical part of the Atlantic Ocean. Captain (Henry) Morgan was a born leader and quickly worked his way up to become captain of his ship. As a privateer, he had received a letter of marque from the British government, granting him permission to capture enemy ships on the high seas and to defend the interests of the British government. He was extremely successful in this, which is why he was knighted just a few years later. After his extremely successful time as a privateer, he lived as a plantation owner and governor in Jamaica until his death in 1688. The spiced rum named after him is now at least as famous as Captain Morgan himself and is known all over the world! The Captain Morgan Black Spiced The Captain Morgan Black Spiced Rum is matured in former bourbon whiskey barrels that are heavily charred and then filled with the triple-distilled rum. The heavy charring of the barrels is one of the factors that gives the Captain Morgan Black Spiced Rum its characteristic taste and striking color. The taste of this spiced rum is reminiscent of cinnamon, cloves and caramel and, in addition to these aromas, also shows a trace of hibiscus on the nose. Despite its very dark color, the Captain Morgan Black Spiced is relatively young and therefore characterized by fruity, floral notes. Although many connoisseurs also like to drink it neat, slightly chilled, it was mainly developed for the popular long drink Captain and Cola. The Black Spiced in this blend is noticeably stronger and more intense than the regular Spiced Rum from Captain Morgan and is therefore particularly suitable for connoisseurs who prefer a strong taste!

Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's Rumbullion Navy Strength The story of Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's Rumbullion Navy Strength The Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's Rumbullion Navy Strength comes from the laboratory of the positively crazy Cornelius Ampleforth. Ampleforth is considered a kind of "mad professor" in the spirits scene and is known for his love of experimenting with spirits. After many self-experiments in his own four walls, Ampleforth finally went into business for himself in autumn 2011 and has since surprised consumers and colleagues with many new and innovative products. A "cold" distilled absinthe, with an incredible 91.2% vol., and barrel-aged gin are evidence that Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's inventiveness knows no bounds. Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's products are produced in very small batches and are therefore very popular with collectors. When producing his products, it is important to Ampleforth to use only the best ingredients and to preserve old traditions. For example, Rumbullion Navy Strength is produced in the traditional alcohol strength of 57% vol. In the past, British Navy ships only carried spirits with an alcohol strength of 57% vol. because at this alcohol strength, black powder would ignite even when it was completely soaked in alcohol. The production of Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's Rumbullion Navy Strength As already mentioned, Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's Rumbullion Navy Strength is produced in very small batches of often only 30-60 bottles. This naturally requires a lot of manual work, but the production process can also be controlled much better than with industrial production. The basis of the Rumbullion Navy Strength is high-proof Jamaican rum, which was chosen by the "Professor" for its rich and strong taste. This is then flavored with real Madagascar vanilla, fresh orange zest and other secret spices. The Rumbullion Navy Strength is then rounded off with cinnamon, cloves and a hint of cardamom. After maceration, the Rumbullion Navy Strength is filled into distinctive bottles. These are wrapped in brown paper, wrapped in twine and sealed with black wax. A feast for the eyes! The taste of Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's Rumbullion Navy Strength On the nose, the Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's Rumbullion Navy Strength shows almost decadently intense notes of sweet vanilla, orange zest and a hint of cardamom. On the palate, the Rumbullion Navy Strength impresses with a potpourri of aromas such as thick orange marmalade, spices, honey, cinnamon, toffee, apples and cloves. As expected, the aftertaste of the Rumbullion Navy Strength is extremely long and complex and remains noticeable for several minutes. Without question, Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's Rumbullion Navy Strength is one of the best spiced rums on the market!

Presidente Marti Rum 23 Solera, 0.7 L, 40% Rum from the Dominican Republic The manufacturer of the Presidente Marti 23 year old rum is the company "Oliver y Oliver", founded by Oliver Juanillo in Cuba in the 19th century, which is now considered one of the most renowned companies in the rum sector. The Presidente Marti 23 year old comes from the Dominican Republic. This island state on the island of Hispaniola is not yet associated with rum by all spirits connoisseurs, which in our opinion is a big mistake. Great rums such as Ron Barceló, Brugal, Cubaney or Ron Matusalem or even Ron Presidente Marti come from the Dominican Republic. Until the end of the 19th century, the Dominican Republic was a rather pre-industrial agricultural economy, which was then incorporated into the American sugar empire. Almost the entire economy was controlled by the gigantic sugar companies and since the Dominican Republic, as an independent country, did not benefit from tax exemptions, exports suffered and with it the popularity of the excellent rum. For a long time, rum from the Dominican Republic was only drunk locally and is only slowly reaching the international market on a larger scale. Presidente Marti 23 years The rum Presidente Marti 23 years is a tribute to the legendary Cuban freedom fighter José Julián Martí Pérez, who immortalized himself in the history books with his fight against the Spanish colonial power. To produce the Presidente Marti 23 year old rum, high-quality individual distillates of different ages are matured using the Solera process known from Spanish sherry production and then blended together. This creates a very expressive rum that impresses with its fine sweetness, spiciness and nuances of wood and vanilla. The aftertaste is, as you would expect from a rum of this class, surprisingly long and makes the Presidente Marti 23 year old the ideal rum to drink neat. In our opinion, the Presidente Marti 23 year old should be drunk either with a high-class dessert or as a digestif. We recommend having a good cigar or pipe ready, turning up your favorite music at the right volume and simply enjoying the moment.

Malibu Coconut Liqueur 1.0L 21% Who doesn't know it? The famous Malibu liqueur with the taste of coconut and fine rum. For many connoisseurs, Malibu is the ideal drink for summer and warm days in spring or autumn, and not just at parties. The original recipe for Malibu dates back to the 19th century and the fruit liqueur with coconut extract was first bottled in 1895 on Barbados in the Caribbean. There it was very popular with locals and tourists alike and quickly became a cult drink in the Caribbean. The reasons for this are obvious. Because, unlike most competing products, no cream is added when making Malibu Coconut Liqueur. In addition to high-quality white rum, the recipe for Malibu Coconut Rum mainly consists of natural coconut extract and sugar. Natural coconut extract has its price, which makes Malibu a little more expensive than competitor products, but it also has the advantage that you can taste its naturalness. It is not for nothing that it is one of the best-selling coconut-flavored liqueurs in the world. Mixed drinks with Malibu How you enjoy your Malibu is of course up to you. Over the years, however, a few combinations have emerged that can definitely be described as classics. One is the on the rocks version - simple, pure and with the full flavor of coconut! Other popular versions are mixes with orange juice or cold milk. The latter produces a refreshing drink with the typical coconut milk flavor. There are also countless cocktail variations that range from simple to complex and offer an enormous variety of flavors. One example is the Island Cosmo - a very successful drink with the taste of coconut, lime and pomegranate! How you enjoy the Malibu Coconut Liqueur is of course up to you. The important thing is to think of the Caribbean with its long sandy beaches and numerous hours of sunshine - an idea that is not difficult to imagine with this excellent liqueur.

Brinley Shipwreck Spiced, 0.7L 36% St. Kitts - An island to fall in love with What exactly Christopher Columbus thought when he first saw the island's long sandy beaches and bays is unfortunately not known - but it is certain that he was probably just as fascinated by the island's beauty as the thousands of tourists who travel to the Caribbean island every year. One person who was also fascinated by the beauty of the idyllic island of St. Kitts, which together with the island of Nevis forms the island state of St. Kitts and Nevis, is the entrepreneur Bob Brinley. In 1986, he founded an electronics company on the island that manufactured temperature sensors. As the company was doing well, Bob Brinley and his family settled on the island. However, when he had to give up the electronics company after many successful years, Bob Brinley and his son Zach considered how they could make money on the small island from now on. Zach then gave up his well-paid job on Wall Street and decided to do something completely new with his father - rum. The two had one goal firmly in mind: to bring the smoothest spiced rum in the world to market! The first product in the portfolio of the then young company was Brinley Rum Vanilla. A noble blend of fine rum and the best vanilla from Madagascar. The locals and visitors to the island were immediately enthusiastic and the experts at the renowned International Rum Festival in Newfoundland awarded Brinley Rum Vanilla two gold medals in its first year. Driven by this success, other products followed, such as Brinley Rum Mango, Coconut, Coffee and Spiced! Ever since the well-respected company Opici was won over as a sales partner in the USA, it was clear that the family business wanted to operate worldwide. Brinley's spiced rums have recently become available in Germany and are rapidly becoming more popular here. The Brinley Shipwreck Spiced The basis for the Brinley Shipwreck Spiced is a high-quality four-year-old rum that was distilled from molasses using traditional methods and allowed to mature in wooden barrels. Rums made from molasses are considered to be very aromatic and complex and are therefore ideal for making spiced rums. The base rum is flavored with vanilla, nutmeg, cloves, orange and other spices. The Brinley Shipwreck Spiced is a very complex spiced rum that is not only suitable for enjoying with cola. The multitude of flavors are waiting to be discovered and so connoisseurs drink it at room temperature or on ice - but mostly neat!

Brinley Shipwreck Coffee, 0.7L 36% The story of Brinley Rum In the middle of the Caribbean lies the idyllic island of St. Kitts, which is also known by its old name Saint Christopher. Together with the island of Nevis, it forms the island state of St. Kitts and Nevis and is considered a paradise for holidaymakers, among other things because of its long sandy beaches and beautiful bays. The entrepreneur Bob Brinley was once also captivated by the charm of the island and decided to settle down on St. Kitts with his electronics company. The company manufactured temperature sensors and was successful on the market for a long time before it was finally forced to close. In order to be able to continue living on his dream island, Bob Brinley and his son Zach decided to try something completely new - rum! Zach gave up his well-paid job on Wall Street and founded the Brinley Rum company with his father. From the beginning, the family company's goal was to develop the smoothest spiced rum in the world. The first product was a vanilla rum that not only tasted great to the island's residents and visitors. Just a few months after the product launch, Brinley Rum Vanilla won two gold medals at the prestigious International Rum Festival in Newfoundland. Encouraged by this success, father and son decided to produce more aromatic rums and in the following years brought Brinley Rum Mango, Coconut and Coffee onto the market - all made with natural ingredients. The taste of the products also convinced the renowned US sales partner Opici, who from then on listed Brinley rums in their portfolio. The exclusive spiced rums have recently been available in Germany and are already very popular. The Brinley Shipwreck Coffee The rum used for the Brinley Shipwreck Coffee was carefully distilled from molasses using old methods. Rum made from molasses brings with it many aromas and is therefore ideal for making spiced rum. The base rum is flavored with coffee beans from Brazil, which have a very natural taste. The Brinley Rum Coffee is best enjoyed on ice cubes on a warm summer day!

Brinley Shipwreck Mango, 0.7L 36% The story of a family business Long sandy beaches, beautiful bays, bright sunshine - who doesn't dream of working under these conditions? That's what happened to Bob Brinley in 1986 when he decided to set up an electronics company on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts (Saint Christopher). Bob's company, which manufactured temperature sensors, was able to establish itself successfully and Bob started a family on the island in addition to his company. After the company had to close after many successful years, Bob looked for new ways to earn money and live on St. Kitts. Together with his son Zach Brinley, he decided to try something completely new - rum Zach, who was a successful trader on Wall Street, swapped his job in New York for the management of the family business. From the very beginning, father and son had the ambitious goal of producing the smoothest and most delicious spiced rum in the world. After long and numerous experiments with different rums and flavors, Brinley Rum Vanilla was finally created, which was the first product of the young company. The residents and visitors of the island were immediately convinced by the taste and quality of the product and it established itself as a permanent fixture in the bars and pubs of St. Kitts. But experts were also convinced by Brinley Rum Vanilla and just a few months after its launch it was able to win two gold medals at the renowned International Rum Festival in Newfoundland. Driven by this success, careful work was carried out on the development of new products, which finally took the form of Brinley Rum Coffee, Coconut and Mango. These products also quickly established themselves on the island and are now also available in the USA and Europe, where they are becoming more popular every day! The Brinley Shipwreck Mango Like all of Brinley's spiced rums, this mango-flavored bottling is based on a fine rum that has been distilled from molasses using traditional methods. Rums made from molasses are much stronger and more aromatic than those made from fresh sugar cane juice and are therefore ideal for making spiced rums. To bring the natural flavor of mango into the rum, Brinley uses fully ripe mangos from Brazil! The Brinley Shipwreck Mango is best enjoyed in warm temperatures on lots of ice!
