  • Summary

  • This week, we’re introducing a new episode format — the Semi-Blind Rum Review!

    In these reviews, one of us will know the identity of the rum being reviewed and one of us will be going in with no information about the rum whatsoever, besides its color in the glass.

    Our goal is to hopefully provide an unbiased and fun look at new(ish) rums you might be curious about. We'll also be publishing video versions to YouTube.

    In this episode, we reviewed:

    Shakara 12-Year Thailand Rum (the new release from La Maison & Velier)

    ABV: 45.7%

    Molasses

    Column Distillation

    Price: Around $50-60

    Transcontinental Rum Line High Seas

    ABV: 45%

    Blend: Tropically aged Panama rum, unaged Jamaican rum, unaged grand arome rum from Martinique

    Price: Around $30-40

    As always, would love your thoughts on this episode format, and any takes you have on the rums!

    Cheers!
