TESTIMONIALS

Vintage Rum collection

T. Brüstle
Last year in Augsburg I bought a 350ml bottle of Brazil and one from Jamaica. They are not the usual rums you can buy here and that is exactly what makes them unique. They have an authentic character and strong structure which I did not expect, full bodied and complex. It is clear all are unsweetened and no added aromas and because of this all naturally occurring aromas are strong and present. These are rums for those who take rum seriously.

I am an rum collector from Switzerland and met Mr O’Brien in a spirits trade fair in Luzern. I was very professionally advised regarding their Vintage-Rum-collection. Two weeks later I ordered 3 bottles of each vintage. In my 46 years of collecting rum I have never come across such an authentic collection of premium rums.

An Absolute must for all premium rum collectors. Each vintage has a stand-out and unique character.

A perfect journey into the often criminal and adventurous World of Rum. Mr O’Brien gave us a very detailed and humorous insight into how it all came to be.

J. Brady
Very detailed, very funny. Each rum we had was of very high quality and unique. The vintage collection is very impressive and worth collecting as there are no similar rums like these in Germany. Thanks

The Ploughman’s Lunch is huge and an adventure in itself. With delicious and authentic handmade Irish delicacies It’s addictive.

Unique and very smooth. A premium rum that I enjoy drinking straight. 

J. Müller,  Germany 
At the trade fair nuremberg I was persuaded by Mr O’Brien to try this rum. As I am a whiskey drinker it was not an easy task but eventually after an enjoyable discussion I gave him the benefit of the doubt and took a glass.  A Festival of tobacco and wood to the nose. It is well rounded and very smooth and has a old warming whiskey note in the aftertaste.  I didn’t expect it to be so complex but it is and has won my loyalty as an ex-only-whiskey-drinker.

Is it rum or whiskey? Or a hybrid? A full rum taste with the perfect whiskey finish. Very unique!

J. Hipp, Austria 
Extremely unique and very different from your usual rum style. It’s dry yet Full bodied and layered with well balanced flavors of leather, earth, oak and a light shade of dark raisins.  I bought two bottles one to enjoy and the other as an investment. 

D. Beckel, Germany
Fantastic rum,  I wasn’t a rum drinker until I tried this one.

J. Selfrige, USA
I have been a rum enthusiast for the past 25 years and can only say this rum is exceptional.  It is proof that the small artisan producers with their innovative approaches once again add another superlative onto such a diversified spirit
