Trois Rivieres 1980 Chantal Comte

Chantal Comte is a French vineyard owner who lives in the West Indies. Under the encouragement of Andre Depaz, owner of the Montagne Pelee plantation in Martinique, she set out to become the rum equivalent of the established Master Blender profession in whisky.

This rum is a rhum extra vieux agricole, distilled in 1980 at Distillerie Agricole de Sainte Luce, also known as Trois Rivieres.

The Trois Rivieres brand originates from the distillery on the estate of the same name, established in 1660 by Nicolas Fouquet. As with many Martinique distilleries, their modern history begins at the end of the 19th century after the sugar industry went into decline. At Trois Rivieres it was 1905, and the distillery was modernised by new owner, Amédée Aubéry, an industrialist who halted sugar production on the estate entirely in order to focus on rum. The distillery was further shaped by his son, who in 1940 abandoned the use of molasses in favour of producing the agricole rum it is now world-renowned for. In 1953, the Marraud Grottes family acquired it and moved production of its popular Duquesne rum there until 1974 when the Trois Rivieres brand reappeared. Shortly after it passed into the hands of Italy’s Martini & Rossi, who sold it on to the BBS group in 1994. The original Trois Rivieres where this was produced was kept open until 2003, but BBS eventually opted to close it down and move its two column stills to their larger La Mauny distillery, where it is produced nowadays under the ownership of Gruppo Campari.

Trinidad Distillers 2000 Swell de Spirits 24 Year Old Private Garden 50cl / Clos des Spiritueux

Trinidad Distillers is the production facility for the Angostura brand. It was built by the company in 1947 to produce rum for its world-famous bitters, in addition to distilling bulk product for export. The distillery’s original set up was a single Savalle column still, however this was replaced with a five-column still in 1975, following investment from Bacardi who required more bulk rum. Two more of these multi-column stills were added in 1985 and 1999. Some experimentation briefly took place with a Vendome pot still in the early 2000s as well, however this was quickly sold to St Lucia Distillers by their shared parent company at the time, CL Financial. The company was forced to divest much of its rum portfolio following the financial crash in 2007, but retains a majority stake in Angostura after it was bailed out by the local government to prevent what it felt was a national treasure being lost to foreign ownership. Trinidad Distillers remains one of the largest rum distilleries in the Caribbean, producing around 8.5 million litres per year.

This was distilled in 2000 and aged for a total of 24 years before being bottled by Swell de Spirits for Clos des Spiritueux.

Takamaka 2018 Habitation Velier 3 Year Old

Velier was founded by Casimir Chaix in Genoa in 1947 as a wine and spirits importer and distributor. By the 1980s they were still a small family-company with less than ten staff. This all changed in 1986 when it was purchased by Luca Gargano, a former brand ambassador for Saint James who was at the time still in his twenties. Under his direction, they selected their first single cask whiskies in 1992, and their first rum in 1996. In the decades that followed, Velier have gone on to become one of the most collectible brands in the industry, and Gargano has positioned them as the one of the foremost authorities and bottlers of rum anywhere in the world.

More than just a bottler of rum, Luca Gargano is considered a visionary in the cane spirits industry, even developing his own classification for different styles of rum in 2015. Many distilleries have since adopted this. Among the classifications is \"pure single rum,\" which denotes a spirit produced on pot stills at a single distillery. This Habitation Velier range is a celebration of these rums \"which best expresses the raw material and the know-how of the distiller.\"

This is a cane juice rum from the pot stills at Trois Frere's distillery in the Seychelles.

The Trois Frere’s distillery officially opened in 2002, a d’Offay family project run by brothers Bernard and Richard, and their father, Robert. The project was inspired by the latter’s father’s involvement with producing the local Creole speciality in the Seychelles, Rum Arrangé (a liqueur of macerated leaves, fruit, seeds, bark and other ingredients, sweetened with cane syrup). Originally the distillery produced rum using freshly squeezed cane juice, sourcing the raw materials locally and distilling it on a pair of hybrid pot stills. In 2020, they added a column still and began importing molasses from the sugar industry in the Indian Ocean. The distillery bottles both styles under its Takamaka brand, and also imports 8 year old Bajan rum from Foursquare to use in its blends.

Trinidad Rum 18 Year Old Cadenhead's Green Label

Wm. Cadenhead may be Scotland’s oldest independent bottler Scotch, but its connections to the rum industry are just as lengthy. The company was founded in 1842 by George Duncan. His brother William Cadenhead joined the company in 1952, taking over after George’s death in 1958. William had a relation called Robert Cadenhead who owned a rum merchant business in Liverpool and London, and the two companies were amalgamated upon Robert's death. Wm. Cadenhead got into the whisky bottling business after 1904, when William's nephew Robert Duthie took over, and since its sale to J&A Mitchell in 1972, Wm. Cadenhead has become one of the most sought after names on the independent scene, and was one of the earliest brands to begin promoting single distillery bottlings of rum.
