Tasting Notes: Ron del Barrilito Rums
The rums of Ron del Barrilito are distinctive in the world of Puerto Rican rums. The small family owned business of Edmundo B. Fernandez has been producing these unique spirits for over 100 years. Their rum comes in two forms. The Two Star and the Three Star. For a bit more background please see my account of a tour of the facility elsewhere on my blog

A Slice of Island Life
El Fortin Conde de Mirassol Once in a while we all need to take a break and just enjoy our surroundings. Let’s take a look around this little known Caribbean Island. The photo above is of the last Spanish Fort built in the Western hemisphere. It was never completed by the Spanish. It acted as a jail for a time during the mid 1900’s. It is now a wonderful museum.

Tasting Notes: Zaya Gran Reserva Rum
Made in Trinidad I’m not going to get into the debate whether the “old” Zaya made in Guatemala was better than the new iteration being made in Trinidad. I wouldn’t mind having a go at in a proper venue with samples of both present. Alas that’s not happening today. Blends of rum and virtually all aged blended spirits are not static and the flavor profile can change occasionally for many reasons. Not just with private labels su

Tasting Notes: Ron Mocambo 20 Art Edition
Viva Mexico! In the world of spirits today Mexico is not known for it’s rum. There are however a few still producing rum which will bring you back to the old “New Spain”. Here is one example. Licores Veracruz on the Gulf Coast side of the Country is responsible for the Mocambo premium line of rums as well as the newly introduced Los Valientes premium line in the UK. I picked up a bottle of the Mocambo 20 Art Edition on a recent trip

Tasting Notes: Ron Zacapa Centenario 23
A Wonderful Sipping Rum If you’re looking for a rum nightcap, this may be the one for you. This renowned rum from Guatemala has a beautiful mahogany color with a gold patina edge. The aroma is full of dried fruits. Raisin, prune, fig and currant come to mind. In the background is a hint of molasses wrapping it all together. The aromas are carried wonderfully onto the palate. The medium bodied, soft, smooth and supple texture lif
