WM Cadenhead

Subtle, soft and medium bodied rums originating in Guyana and that define the fourth major standard style. To our sweethearts and wives, may they never meet!

WM Cadenhead

Post by The Fat Rum Pirate »

Just picked up a couple of bottles of Cadenhead's blended Demerara rums.

Absolutely outstanding. Anyone based in the UK I urge you to take the plunge and try the following. You will not be disappointed.

http://www.whiskytastingroom.com/1842-c ... 8-276.html

http://www.whiskytastingroom.com/cadenh ... 0-280.html

The 1842 is bottled straight from the cask and the Classic Dark Rum is down to the last few bottles.

You can get the 1842 in a 20cl bottle if you just want to try it (I wish I could get more rums in this size bottle at 5cl or 3cl samples aren't enough)

Looking forward to your reviews of these.

Might nudge them up the list Dai. I would urge you to get these though if you enjoyed the Mezan Guyana - these are a step up.

Wish they had more of the 1975 Demerara bottlings or the 1974 Jamaica.

I have no doubt these are amazing - last Christmas I picked up a 14 year old Port Morant from the London Cadenhead shop (70% ABV!) - wicked, wonderful stuff.

I'll shortly be making my now-annual batch of aged egg-nog with this.

Last year I used Woods 100, which was also excellent, but I've got a good feeling about the Cadenhead's for this year.

The shop in Campbeltown is a great place to visit - so many goodies! :-)

Cadenhead's has magnificent Whiskies and Rums. The people behind the selections, and in sales, are really nice folks too, much like the good people of Springbank. Last time I popped in the shop at Campbeltown I got 28yo Demerara for about 80 - 90 GBP. Fabulous!!! My last purchase is the 1975 Demerara bottled at 40,6%.

Don't Springbank own Cadenhead?

The London shop does not have much old rums now. Looks like mostly rums from 2000s ....
