In 1703, the production of Rum by the Mount Gay distillery on the island of Barbados was already a fact. This probably makes them the oldest working Rum distillery in the world. Traditionally, they still work in the English style with copper pot stills, in which they distil twice. Eclipse is named after the total solar eclipse and the appearance of the comet Halley in 1910. The roasted ex-bourbon casks also have light smoke notes.

The Pampero Distillery was founded in 1938 in Caracas, Venezuela. The rum is distilled from local sugar cane molasses in Column Stills, in the tradition of Spanish style. The Pampero Aniversario was first made in 1963 in honour of the 25th anniversary of the Pampero distillery. The rum has matured in ex-Bourbon barrels. The difference in temperature between the day and the night is big in Venezuela, which gives an optimal ripening.

After the establishment of the republic of Panama, José Varela started a cane mill in Pesé in 1908. In 1935 he started making Rum.

Chairman’s Reserve is a blend of double distilled pot still and Coffey still rums, all distilled on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia.

Plantation Rum is an artisanal range of rums from the great terroirs of the tropics, founded by Alexandre Gabriel. Plantation Original Dark is a rum sourced from Barbados and Jamaica, distilled in both continuous stills and large copper pot stills. While the rum from Barbados has aged for 1 to 3 years, the Jamaican rum has spent 10 to 15 years in wooden casks. After a final period of aging in a wooden vat in France, Plantation Original Dark is born – a rich and intense style representative of the best Jamaica and Barbados have to offer.

Brugal Anejo is an experience, and to sip it will make any day a little more special. Don Andres Brugal Montaner had one dream: to perfect the art of rum-making. That’s how he came to move to the Dominican Republic in 1888. Currently the 5th generation of the Brugal family ensures that the high standards set by their forefather are being met. Brugal Anejo matures in ex-bourbon American oak casks for up to 5 years. The result is a clean, smooth and not-so-sweet spirit that you won’t soon forget.

Goslings - Black Seal is a distinctive, dark rum blended in Bermuda. The rum ages for 3 to 6 yeas in re-charred American oak barrels that have previously been used to age bourbon. Goslings Black Seal is distilled in both pot stills and continuous stills and has been around since the 19th century. It’s called Black Seal after the black sealing wax that was used to seal the champagne bottles in which it was reclaimed from the British Officer’s Mess.

Just like the other rums by this brand from the Dominican Republic, Ron Barceló Imperial Onyx is made from 100% Dominican sugarcane juice rather than molasses. Its Imperial Onyx has aged for 10 years in ex-bourbon barrels with a heavy char. However, there’s an innovative twist that sets this rum apart. After the initial aging period, Ron Barceló Imperial Onyx is filtered through onyx stones to obtain a rum “with intense, deep notes and a unique character.”

This is how we put together the best rum tasting collection.

Rum has countless variations, from light white rums to complex old examples with rich aromas of wood, tropical fruit, and spices. This diversity can sometimes be overwhelming. That's why the specialists from Tasting Collection are ready for you.

Only if a rum is approved by the experts from Tasting Collection does it get a place in a rum tasting. Not only the big brands, but certainly also the rums from smaller, unknown distilleries deserve a stage. Tasting Collection is happy to put them in the spotlight.

Trust the rum experts

Take advantage of the knowledge of true experts, who consider the subtle differences between, for example, the heavy, fruity Jamaican style and the elegant, funky agricole rums from the French-Caribbean islands. They also know the influence of the used barrels on the final result.

Of course, geographical factors play a crucial role in the character of rum. For example, in tropical climates, there is more interaction between the rum and the wooden barrel. This results in a different flavor profile than when the climate is more temperate. All these nuances are reflected in a carefully curated Rum Tasting Collection.

Absolute success for rum lovers

You can rely on the passion and expertise of Tasting Collection. Attention to quality and authentic flavors are the foundation of a tasting that delights every rum lover. Whether you're just starting your rum adventure or are an experienced connoisseur, this collection offers something for everyone. An absolute success for yourself or as a gift.
