More and more birds! The Duchess is a Dutch independent bottler that we hadn’t talk about yet on the blog.

Thompson Bro’s Hampden 2000-2018 (55.1%)
Excellence Rhum Hampden 2000-2017 (54.6%)
Berry Bro’s Hampden TWB 2000-2018 (58.1%)
I didn’t even notice there were no 2000 Hampdens on the blog yet! I must say that’s not my favorite vintage, but let’s give those a try! Typically all Hampden releases from 2000 wear the LROK mark.

The Nectar of the Daily drams Le Galion 2021 (59%)
This bottling is more recent than the two previous, it recently made a lot of noise. Bottled by the Belgian IB The Nectar of the Daily drams, that’s the first of its kind! A 6 months old traditional Grand Ârome rum from Le Galion distillery in Martinique, aged in an ex-PX/ex-DOK cask, what a crazy combo!

Neisson VSOP LMDW 2014-2020 (44%)
Velier Vieux Sajous (50.6%)
Did you remember when those were released? You must have joined the boxing ring to get a bottle, each for their own reason I guess.

Rum Artesanal Bellevue 1998-2017 (55.5%)
Kill Devil Bellevue 1998-2017 (59.7%)
Excellence Rhum Bellevue 1998-2018 (59.9%)
That’s the first review of some Bellevue rums but you’ll see more in the future of course.

Saint James Brut de fût Velier Private casks 2001-2019 (50.3%)
One more ghost bottling, that’s how I call them. We literally get no informations about them, then you see few pictures on Facebook groups and can’t find where you can buy them and at which price. Luckily, a friend was as fast as Nicky Larson to get a bottle and sent me a sample of it.

Valinch & Mallet Caroni 1997-2016 (51.8%)
Barmetro Caroni 1997-2017 (57%)
Thompson Bro’s Caroni 1997-2018 (61.9%)
I already wrote an article about four Caronis from the ’97 vintage with some nice bottlings and I really enjoyed it, so let’s continue the adventure today with three more references.

Samaroli Dark Demerara 1994-2006 (45%)
The Rum Cask Enmore 1988-2020 (47.9%)
WIld Parrot Enmore 1991-2019 (53.6%)
I place the Guyana rum mysteries somewhere between curiosity and irritation in my personal emotions, that’s the biggest gambling game isn’t it? But finally I must say I enjoy playing it.

Samaroli Hampden 1992-2007 (45%)
Samaroli Hampen 1993-2015 (45%)
As you may know, I love this Hampden old stuff, you should take a look in our Jamaica page which fill up more and more!

Valinch & Mallet Enmore 1994-2020 (52.5%)
Valinch & Mallet Long Pond 2005-2020 (56.8%)
Valinch & Mallet Jamaica blend (56.3%)
Hard to catch, isn’t it? Valinch & Mallet released four new rums, the today’s trio + a Foursquare. The black and gold bottles looks veeery nice, I hope to see more in the future!
