Yaguara Ouro aged Rum

Yaguara Ouro aged Rum – March box

By March 22, 2019 0

With March being the month of the Rio carnival, we thought it timely to showcase a Brazilian rum, Yaguara Ouro.  Yaguara have been producing small batch artisanal cachaça for five generations and the Ouro is the first aged rum from this distiller

 

Master blender Erwin Weimann has successfully delivered a smoother, more refined cachaça whilst managing to retain its distinctive taste thanks to creativity and a little science.  It is a blend of fresh sugarcane distillate, aged in three types of wood, Brazilian Amburana and Cambreúva, and American oak.

 

In March’s box;

Yaguara Ouro aged Rum 70cl – 42% alc./vol

x3 Fresh Limes

x3 Fairtrade Brown Sugar Sticks

Biscoito de Polvilho Brazillian Cheese Snack

                                                                                                                

The Expressions

This organic pale golden colour Cachaça has soft and creamy vanilla hints followed by a burst of intense earthy sugar cane notes.  Exotic spice and hints of chamomile round off this characterful, mellow and distinctive cachaça.  It can be enjoyed on its own or in cocktails, try a traditional Caipirinha:

 

50ml Yaguara Ouro Cachaça

Half a fresh lime

X2 teaspoons demerara sugar

 

Method: Place lime and sugar into a tumbler and mash the two ingredients together using a muddler or wooden spoon. Fill the tumbler with crushed ice and add the Cachaça. Garnish with the remaining lime.

 

We look forward to supplying your next bottling of fine rum.

 

Saúde (Cheers),

OneLove Supreme 5 Island Spiced Rum

OneLove Supreme 5 Island Spiced Rum – February’s Box

By February 13, 2019 0

February’s rum is from an English artisan producer of fine rum from Kettering. Inspired by their love of reggae, OneLove rum have produced a supreme blend of aged Caribbean rum from Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, Cuba & Hispaniola (Dominican Republic). These 5 rums bring their own uniqueness and characteristics to an expertly blended bottling. Select tropical spices are added to produce this spirit drink which we believe is of utmost quality. The heady aroma and deliciousness, we hope you agree, makes OneLove spiced rum one of the best you will taste.

 

In February’s box;

 

OneLove Supreme 5 Island Spiced Rum 70cl – 43% alc./vol

Schweppes Ginger Ale 200ml x2

Grace Chili Plantain Chips – 85g

                                                                                                                

The Expressions

 

The delicate flavours of vanilla and sweet, sticky treacle alongside delicate vegetal spiciness can be tasted on the palette. As this spiciness fades a warming kick of root ginger rises and the subtle heat lingers.

 

This spirit is very versatile. We have been enjoying it with the Schweppes Ginger Ale (included in your box). Add a double shot of the OneLove spiced rum over ice into a highball glass. Pour the ginger ale to taste then sit back and relax – recommend putting on some sweet reggae music from Beres Hamond to enjoy the moment.

 

We look forward to supplying your next bottling of fine rum.

J Gow 70cl - 40% alc.:vol

J Gow – January’s Box

By January 5, 2019 0

Happy New Year

With Burns Night on the 25th January we thought a spiced rum hailing from a small Orkney island would be a great way to start the new year at Craft Rum Club.

  1. Gow Rum takes its name from the infamous Orkney pirate John Gow whose short career started in Amsterdam and ended in Orkney. He was famously hung twice after the rope snapped, the first time, at London’s execution dock on the 11th of June 1725. While the name conjures up images of pirates, it also creates imagery of the brutal seas and rugged coastlines surrounding Orkney.

J Gow spiced rum is produced on Lamb Holm, a tiny island (0.15 square miles) just south of St Mary’s village. Home to an Italian Chapel and connected to mainland Orkney by the Churchill barriers. This may well be one of the smallest rum producing islands and the distillery can be found just metres away from the beach.

 

In Januarys box;

 

J Gow 70cl – 40% alc./vol

Angostura Bitters – 66.7% alc./vol – x2

Britvic Cranberry Juice drink 200ml – x2

                                                                                                                

The Expressions

 

The delicate flavours of vanilla and caramel are mixed with natural spices from around the world including two secret ingredients grown in Orkney. There are also subtle citrus and cinnamon notes in this light golden coloured rum which has a smooth sweetness and warming spice finish

 

The versatility of the prominent rum flavour complimented with spices means you can enjoy this rum in many ways from on the rocks to cocktails or even just your favourite mixer

World's End Navy 57

Navy rum from Worlds Ends – December’s Box

By December 7, 2018 0

Exclusively in our Christmas box comes this unique Navy rum from Worlds Ends. It’s their fifth rum in a widening range of fine rums. Blended with quality rums which have been selected on typical flavour notes from Trinidad, Jamaican Worthy Park and Hampden estates. Navy 57 is certainly a rum to keep you warm during the winter months and at 57%ABV it has an over-proof feel but delivers on spice.

 

In Decembers box;                                                                                                

World’s End Navy 57 – 57% alc./70cl

X2 Fentimans ginger ale/125ml

Cocoba Christmas Cracker (Chocolate)

 

The Expressions

The rum packs a powerful punch with an over-proof feel as expected with an ABV of 57%. It’s then that this complex spirit comes to life with warm spiced flavours. The rum mixes extremely well with the fever-tree ginger ale. Add a shot of the Navy 57 over ice and pour ginger ale to taste.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Cheers,

Worlds End Tiki Spiced Rum – July’s Rum Box

By July 4, 2018 0

Worlds End Tiki Spiced Rum

For our July’s surprise box of rum we have selected a Tiki spiced rum.  Back in December we sent a sample test tube of this and due to the positive feedback received we decided to include it in the 2018 schedule.

The Tiki spiced rum is a blend of rum from the Caribbean and has a hint of a secret spice combined with cinnamon and allspice.  It has a nice complexity and mysteriousness from your first sip, followed by a smooth after taste with the perfect sweetness

In July’s box – Worlds End Tiki Spiced Rum  – 40% alc./vol 70cl

  • Fentimans Curiosity Cola – 750ml
  • Fentimans plastic cups
  • Fentimans cocktail swizzle stick

We both enjoyed this rum in cocktails and on the rocks.  The second rum from Worlds End is a Tiki Spiced Rum which distinguishes itself through a very characterful blend and high esters. Very typical for the Tiki version.

Enjoy your Tiki spiced rum over ice with Fentimans Curiosity Cola

Flamboyant Vieux Rhum - Buy Online

Flamboyant Vieux Rhum – February’s Box

By February 1, 2018 0

Flamboyant Vieux Rhum

In February’s surprise box of rum and continuing to explore agricole rhums, we have sourced a unique product from Mauritius – Flamboyant Vieux Rhum.  This blended rum is aged for up to seven years in used Bourbon oak casks. Golden in colour due to oak maturation, the rum has no artificially added colours. This is a fantastic sipping rum with a big, smooth, well-rounded nose and palate. Unfortunately, there is no promotional material available from the distillery, but we think it speaks for itself.  On the front of the bottle is a picture of the tree ‘Flamboyant’ whose flower is the national flower of Mauritius. Flamboyant comes into flower during the time of independence in March when the trees lining the sides of the roads in great avenues are ablaze with brilliant red colour.

Mauritius is a relative newcomer to global rum markets. For centuries, colonial governments in Mauritius frowned on using sugar cane for rum, because refined sugar fetched much better profits. Until 2006, Mauritius produced only small amounts of rum from molasses. The government then lifted a ban on distilling from sugar cane juice to produce agricole rum. The lifting of the ban has brought in new players, and encouraged older operations to diversify.

 

In February’s rum box;

FLAMBOYANT VIEUX RHUM 70cl – 40% alc./vol

PEARONA Sparkling pear drink 33cl x2

PLUIE d’OREE Ti Pois chilli 100g

AH PING Cravatte Sale 150g

 

The Expressions

Flamboyant Vieux Rhum is a golden yellow with a bright clear appearance. On the nose you can pick out complex notes such as biscuit, cake, raisin, banana cake, vanilla, cinnamon and a touch of orange zest. Tasting the Rhum leaves you with a dry sense with a subtle touch of burnt fruit, raisin and almost a coffee note.

Flamboyant Rhum brings a small touch of Mauritian life to the UK. Mix with crushed ice and Pearona to taste in a highball glass and experience the local drink of choice.

September’s surprise box of Rum – Matugga Golden Rum

By September 7, 2017 0

September’s surprise box of Rum is handcrafted in Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom through small batch copper distillation, using sugar cane molasses from the rich, red soils of East Africa. One of a growing trend of artisan rum producers in the UK.

In Septembers box;

  • Matugga Golden Rum 70cl – 42% alc./vol
  • Two Russet Sweat Apple Juice 33cl
  • Organic Meduim Laxton Fortune Apple (unwashed)
  • Organic Mint (unwashed)

 

The Expressions

Matugga Golden Rum is matured in English oak casks providing an exquisite bouquet of tropical fruits, an unmistakable smouldering wood on the palate, and a luxuriously generous finish. Enjoy neat, on ice or as the base for an outstanding cocktail.

Tasting Notes

On the nose we have fine oaked deep fruit cake, with raisins and sultanas abounding. The palate is full of slightly honeyed cracked caramel with a hint of Szechuan peppers and bay, finishing with vanilla, strawberry and a rich treacle.

To purchase more of this rum we are pleased to offer members a 15% discount by visiting matuggarum.com using promo code CRAFTRUMCLUB by December 31st 2017.

 

The apple juice comes from Ringden Farm in East Sussex who have been producing juice since 1990 and have won many awards over the years. The pairing of rum and apple juice, whilst being unusual, balances the smouldering wood with the sweetness of apple juice. Please see notes attached for measures to enjoy a perfect mixer.

 

We look forward to supplying your next surprise box.

 

Cheers, from https://clientview.mo-am.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/1-1.png

Craft Rum Club

Please find tasting notes of the apple juice and apple for garnish (the pictures where taken when we collected the apples for the farm.).

Egremont Russet

Introduced in 1880. Prized as the most delicious of the English russets. Golden brown fruit. Often with black spots or markings. Greenish-yellow and richly flavoured. It has a very distinctive flesh, often described as nutty. Like all russets, it is a good keeper.

 

 

Laxton Fortune (For garnish)

 

Developed by the Laxton Brothers Nursery in the early 1900s. It’s still grown commercially on a small scale. It remains a popular garden variety in the UK, but is a noted biennial bearer.  It is a useful substitute for Cox’s Orange Pippin (one of its parents), having some of the aromatic flavour of that variety but much easier to grow.

August’s surprise box of Rum

By August 6, 2017 0

Worthy Park Estate Ltd.August’s surprise box of Rum comes from Jamaica and we are both proud to be able to source this rum for the membership.

The Worthy Park Estate is close to where Donna’s mum was born and grew up before emigrating to the UK in 1962.

In August’s box;

  • Worthy Park Estate Rum-Bar Gold Aged 4 Years 70cl – 40% alc./vol
  • The Bitter Truth Pimento Dram 5cl – 22% alc./vol (an almost forgotten Jamaican liqueur)
  • Taylerson’s Vanilla Syrup 5cl
  • James White Lime Chilli Zinger 7cl
  • Schweppes Soda Water 15cl (celebrating their 225th British anniversary)
  • Organic Lime

 

The Expressions

Rum-Bar Gold Rum is a classic rich Jamaican rum which can be enjoyed mixed or neat. Ideally, rested before sipping as once the alcohol dissipates the sweetness of banana and stewed apples prevails on the nose. The fruit dominates the palate whilst the four aged years enables this rum to benefit from oak interaction, giving a vanilla and treacle like sweetness. A long mellow finish bursting with flavours.

PIMENTO DAIQUIRI is our featured cocktail of the month using the ingredients contained within the box. We really enjoyed putting our take on this drink bringing together the best Pimento to give a taste of Jamaica.

Worthy Park Estate Ltd.

Worthy Park Estate Ltd. is known for offering the best rum in Jamaica. We cater to everyone’s distinct needs and unique moods. We process exceptional taste for you that you will never get over. Our rum leads you to happiness and creates heaven on earth for you.

The molasses used in our rum production is extracted in our own property sugar factory; a sugar factory that has maintained its rank as the most efficient in Jamaica every year since 1968.

With the completion of a state-of-the-art distillery in 2005, Worthy Park was back in the rum business. Being the newest distillery, it was built with efficiency in mind and designed to maintain the highest level of quality.

From the quality of water used in blending, to the propriety native yeast cultivated from our own sugar cane crop, the detail given to the quality of our rums is evident in every step of production.

We distil our rums in the traditional Jamaican Pot- Still method give you a full flavoured and tasty rum. The 100% copper Pot-Still’s used for distillation were made by Forsyths, the industry leader in Pot-Still manufacturing from Scotland. This commitment to quality and tradition.

We look forward to supplying your next surprise box.

July Rum Box

July’s surprise box of Rum – Craft Rum Club

By July 13, 2017 0

July’s surprise box of Rum comes from Antigua and is one of our favourite rums.

This fine rum is distilled in traditional copper stills and matured in oak barrels.

In July’s box;

  • English Harbour Aged 5 Years 70cl – 40% alc./vol
  • Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum 5cl – 63% alc./vol
  • Angostura aromatic bitters 20cl – 44.7% alc./vol
  • Monin Pur Sucre de Canne
  • Organic Lime
  • Organic Nutmeg 
  • English Harbour 5 Year Old Rum

The polished copper hue of the spirit prepares the drinker for the initial impression of cherry, oak and a wisp of smoke. The first sip of ripe apple, coconut and hints of cinnamon fill the palate. Then the slightly sweet coconut, spice and smoke finish complement the body of the mature spirit.

Rich…amber colour. Mildly spicy, banana nut bread aromas…off dry medium to full bodied palate with robust toffee, roasted nuts, sugared butter and brown spice flavours…very rich and sexy with great mix ability. This is a fine sipping rum but is also great in a cocktail.

Antigua Rum Punch is our featured cocktail of the month using the ingredients contained within the box. We really enjoyed putting our take on this local drink and hope you enjoy a taste of the Caribbean.

We look forward to supplying your next surprise box.

Cheers,

June Box – Craft Rum Club

By June 15, 2017 0

Dear Member,

Summer is warming up nicely and with June’s surprise box we have great pleasure to bring you a taste of paradise from the Island of Mauritius.

In June’s box;

New Grove Old Tradition 5 years Old Rum 70cl – 40% vol

Pearona sparking pear drink 33cl x2

MOOLKOO crisp

ALLY EDOO salted nuts

The rum’s appearance can be best described as having a golden colour with coppery reflects. When tasting the first nose it’s dominated by jammy fruit (cooked apple and marmalade). The palate is very aromatic melting vanilla and wooden notes with slight hints of pepper. This full-bodied 5 year old rum truly epitomises the spirit of the Indian Ocean. Its strong and attractive personality comes from an original ageing process which associates French Limousin oak barrels and Port barrels. We discovered this rum on a recent trip to the New Grove distillery in Mauritius. After we shared many evenings sipping this on the rocks or mixed with the local sparkling pear drink we wanted to bring it back and share with the club members.

It’s been great fun putting this box together using authentic Mauritian products. The Pearona is not too sweet and is very popular across the island. The Moolkoo reflects the Mauritian Indian culture and the ground nuts are baked in sand before the shell is peeled off. This gives them a unique flavour. Both compliment the rum and these literally came off the plane on Wednesday!

We hope you enjoy the latest surprise box of rum and look forward to supplying your next surprise box.

Cheers,

from https://clientview.mo-am.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/1-1.png
