Try La Hechicera Solera 21(m&s have it).

I normally like the smooth demerara rums. This one isnā€™t, but itā€™s dragging me back again and again. Prunes, expresso and tobacco flavours. Very nice and about Ā£35-40

I am waiting on a delivery of a Brugal 1888 and a Matusalem 23 gran reserva which reads like nectar from the gods ,going on this review.

Nose: Fresh honey and golden syrup. Crunchy almonds. Cedar wood.

Palate: Creamy and rich, with plenty of fruit joining the sweet, sugary notes.

Finish: Spiced and lasting on the finish. Overall: One to savour and enjoy neat.

If it can deliver this, iā€™m in heaven at under Ā£50 a bottle.

Approve is an understatement. I donā€™t think thereā€™s another bottle at the same price that compares. Ā£33 a bottle and itā€™s smooth, rich and leaves an almost peat whisky clean aftertaste.

If anything proves we are an intelligent species, itā€™s El Dorado rum.

Me and the old man nearly had a catastrophe the other day.

The maid was sent shopping for Tanduay rum and came back empty handed ā€œ non availbleā€ she says,

The driver was then despatched to the next city and 5 botttles duly arrived.

Dry throats averted.

That sounds interesting!

Very smooth, a bit too sweet. Needs to be in a rum punch. Not bad for a M&S special

So after hauling a colleagueā€™s arse of out a particularly deep puddle of shite, he popped into my office this morning with a bottle of Ron Zacapa sistema 23 solera to say thank you.

classy move

Well just checked in and the room comes with a litre of Appleton special, which we are told they will happily replace as many times as we need.

The first half of the football made me head for the rum.

The Matusalem 23 gran reserva is very good and the more i drink the less anxious about the football i become.
