Bristol Classic Rum

Bristol Classic Rum is the flagship brand of independently bottled single cask and small batch rums from the English company, Bristol Spirits Ltd. It was introduced in 1997 to replace the company's previous (and first) brand, Bristol's Estate Mark. Originally known as simply Classic Rum, the word Bristol was included in 2000.

The company has a huge depth of stock, meaning releases in the Bristol Classic Range and varied and include a number of interesting and historic examples, including 1974 vintage Caroni, Rockley Still rums from WIRD and a 1975 vintage Port Mourant, to name a few. Bristol Spirits' founder, John Barrett, does not believe in cask strength bottlings so releases tend to be between 40-55% ABV. Cask-finishing is also a common theme amongst bottlings.
