Old Brothers MLC 2001-2021 (61.3%)
Do you know the exact signification of MLC? Monymusk Light Continental, eh that’s quite contradictory with those 18 years under the tropics, right? But we’ve the same sh*t with some Hampden such as Habitation Velier C<>H for example. Anyway we’re not here to talk about letters, we’re only interested in what’s inside the bottle!

10 rums line-up from Blackadder.
Blackadder is a british independent bottler of whisky & rum. I must say this article is quite special for me as I felt in love with Blackadder Raw Cask the first time I tasted it in our Salon du Rhum in Belgium. Raw Cask mean the rum is bottled unfiltered.

Another trilogy, this time from Corman Collins to celebrate their 55th birthday. Demerara, Trinidad (Caroni) and Jamaica, what else? All three bottlings come from the 1996 vintage, it sounds interesting!

Velier St. Lucia 70th Anniversary 2010-2017 (58.6%)
Cadenhead’s St. Lucia 1999-2008 (70.8%)
St Lucia doesn’t really take part as one of most common rums bottled as single casks, but it’s not uninteresting however.

That’s what we call a featuring. Old Brothers worked with Joey Starr to make a Mauritian blend from the New Grove distillery.

I think I don’t need to introduce those white rums by Hampden & Neisson, but what about Libero Rum?

First if you’re asking yourself, I’m not that old (sorry if you actually are more than 35 years old), I turned 27yo a few days ago and I wanted to celebrate it with some crazy rums and share it with all of you of course.

Rhum Club Paris Belize 2007-2020 (67%)
Club bottlings are still worth a try because they are bottled by rum lovers for rum lovers, often at very fair price.
