Premium Rum Tasting
This Tasting Contains 6 tubes of the following Rums:
Opthimus, 18 Y
Dominican Republic
Oliver & Oliver is a Cuban company that originates in Cuba and buys Rums from 5 Caribbean countries. Located in the Dominican Republic, they release several Rums including the Opthimus. All rum for the Opthimus comes from the Dominican Republic. They leave this traditional Spanish-style Rum to mature long before they release it. The 18 year old is a wonderful example of this. They are limited editions; each bottle is numbered by hand.
Facundo - Neo
Cuba
Named after its founder, the Facundo Collection is a premium range of rums from Bacardí, one of the best-selling rum brands worldwide. Neo is the Spanish word for ‘new’. Its appearance is completely transparent, yet the Bacardí Facundo Neo is blended aged for up to 8 years. They are charcoal filtered to mellow the taste, which also removes the color. A beautifully balanced drink!
Havana Club - Seleccion Maestro
Cuba
Havana Club is the most famous Rum of Cuba, founded in 1878. Havana Club has asked a team of highly experienced Rum Maestro's to select their favourite Rum under the leadership of Don José Navarro. These Rums first mature separately in American oak barrels and together they get a finish on specially selected barrels. The Seleccion Maestro is an aromatic rich Spanish style Rum with tones of tobacco, leather and coffee.

Barbados
This Plantation – Jamaica 2007 was produced at the renowned Clarendon Distillery. Built in 1949, it is a relatively new distillery in Jamaica.

El Dorado, 15 Y
Guyana
The Diamond distillery in Guyana has existed since 1670 and is perhaps the oldest working distillery in the Caraiben. They produce Demarara Rum, named after the nearby river.

This El Dorado is a blend of the various Diamond boilers and is a powerful English-style rum.
Ron Zacapa - 23
Guatemala
In 1944 Industrias Licoreras de Guatemala was created from a amalgamation of 4 distilleries and produced Rums of high quality. Rum from Guatemala belongs to the Spanish style, but is characterized by a complex, rich taste. Zacapa is a Rum blender who buys the Rum from the distillery. This 23 matures according to the Solera system. The average age is therefore between 6 and 23 years. This Rum rightly won many prizes.
