Rum : PUSSERS - Blue Label 70cl Bottle For more than 300 years, before the days of Admiral Nelson, wooden ships and iron men, the sailors of Britain's Royal Navy were issued a daily ration of rum by the ship's 'Purser'. This tradition, one of the longest and un-broken in the history of the sea, carried forward from the year 1655 to August 1st 1970. The superb rum in this bottle is the same rum that was standard issue aboard their Majesties' ships at the time of the custom's termination in 1970. For centuries, British Navy Jack Tars drank their Pusser's Rum and appreciated this spirit's exceptional quality. Its distinct character is still created from six of the world's finest Caribbean rums which were discovered on their excursions at sea.

Rum : PUSSERS - Nelson's Blood Hip Flask 20cl Bottle Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson, Royal Navy, one of the world's greatest fighting admirals, never lost a major battle. At Trafalgar on October 21st, 1805, although outnumbered, he defeated the combined navies of Spain and France. In this fierce battle that would determine who ruled the waves for the century that followed, Nelson sank or captured 19 of the enemy while losing not a single British ship. Unfortunately, at the age of 47, he was mortally wounded and died three hours before the end of the battle with the knowledge that victory was his. For the journey home, his body was carried on board HMS VICTORY, his flagship. Legend has it that to preserve it during the long voyage, they placed him in a large cask of Pusser's Rum. Upon arrival in England, it was discovered that the jack tars (sailors) had drilled a small hole at the base of the cask and drank all the rum - thereby drinking of Nelson's Blood. This term is still widely used today by Navy and history buffs as their alternative name for Pusser's Rum.Pusser's is the same rum that was issued on board ships of Great Britain's Royal Navy for more than 330 years. The gold medals won at the world's two most prestigious wine & spirits competitions in 2001 and 2003 attest to its unsurpassed quality. Unlike most other rums, Pusser's contains no artificial flavouring agents. It is all natural.THE ROYAL NAVY TOASTS on the back of the flask are those that have been offered for more than 200 years. They are still offered today at dinner on board Royal Navy ships and shore installations.The four flag signal to SPLICE THE MAIN BRACE! was flown to signify a double issue of rum. Today, to say to a friend, Let's splice the main brace! is akin to saying, Let's have a drink!.

Rum : SAMBA & CANA 70cl Bottle In 1988, the production of cachaca in Minas Gerais was given a most significant boost, which improved its quality standards.A team of cachaca distillers entered into a partnership with INDI - the Industrial Development Institute of Minas Gerais to create the AMPAQ - The Association of Quality Cachaca Producers of the State of Minas Gerais. The AMPAQ has dedicated itself to the subject, conducted researches and disseminated scientific and biotechnological information about the beverage, besides investing in the implementation of norms to regulate the production of the sugar-cane distilled drink in copper stills. Today, such norms are strictly obeyed by the 300 producers members of the institution.The State of Minas Gerais is the market leader in Brazil in the production of cacha?a in copper stills. Every year, 150 million litres are produced by 8,500 small producers, which has resulted in the creation of 20.000 direct jobs and 400,000 indirect jobs.In line with AMPAQ, and complying, of course, with the quality standards demanded for the product to receive the guarantee stamp, in 1999, the COOCACHAA - the Cachaca Cooperative - was created to promote and commercialise cachaca produced in copper stills.

Rum : PUSSERS - Red Label 70cl Bottle Rum and the sea are inseparable, and no rum is more akin to the sea and the seaman than is British Navy Pusser's Rum. For more than 300 years, sailors of Great Britain?s Royal Navy were issued a daily ration of rum by the Purser (corrupted to Pusser by the Jack Tars). From 1655 to 1970 Pusser's Rum was one of the few daily comforts afforded those early seamen of Britain's Navy as they fought across the globe to keep the Empire intact and it's sea lanes open.British Navy Pusser's Rum is the same superb blend of five West Indian rums as served on board Their Majesties' ships for three centuries. Today, it is still blended in accordance with the Admiralty's exacting specifications of 1810.Pusser's Rum was never sold or offered to the public, and if a rum connoisseur managed to acquire a tot or two, he saved it for a very special occasion. It is said by connoisseurs to be more like a fine brandy than a rum, with a full, rich flavour and a smoothness which are unsurpassed. It is a sipping rum, which, of course, may also be mixed. Its full mellow flavor comes through anything you might mix it with. Either neat or mixed, you will notice and enjoy the full, rich flavor of Pusser's rum.

Rum : PORFIDIO SINGLE CANE - Plata 70cl Bottle Colour: Clear Crystal. Nose: Vanilla and coconut milk. Palate: Smooth honey and flowery touch.Finish: Pure, clean and gentle sugary finish. Destileria Porfidio, founded in the early 90s by Martin Grassl, was renowned the world over until recently as the producer of the number one brand of pure agave tequila, a range of spirits of exceptional quality. However, in April 2003 Porfidio released his 1998 vintage Porfidio Rum, a top quality pure cane rum, onto the world market. This exciting addition to its traditional portfolio of spirits, which is already acclaimed internationally by liquor connoisseurs, is the result of years of research into production and distillation processes of high quality rum. Destileria Porfidio will never compromise on the quality of the ingredients it demands for its pure cane Porfidio Rum. The vast majority of ordinary rum available is made from molasses, a cheap by-product of sugar refining. Molasses consists of indirect cane sugars which can not be converted into granulated sugar for the market, but can be used for industrial alcohol production. Premium single cane rum, by stark contrast, is made from freshly pressed sugar cane juice, undiluted and 100% pure. 30 to 40 kilos of fresh sugar cane are required to produce just one litre of this high quality cane spirit. For top quality rum, the sugar cane must be cut and processed within two days to ensure the best flavour. Fortunately for them, sugar cane flourishes in the sun-drenched soils of the coastal state of Nayarit, just one hour's drive from their facility at Puerto Vallarta. The cane is cut and loaded immediately onto trucks bound for Destileria Porfidio, leaving no time for the cane to degrade in the hot sunshine.Harvesting is done entirely by hand using the traditional machete, a long curved knife whose blade is honed to lethal sharpness. By avoiding the use of mechanical harvesters the expert pickers are able to select only the healthy and mature sugar cane plants for harvest. Mechanised harvesting results in a mixture of mature and immature, healthy and infected, good and bad sugar cane that produces, ultimately, a rum of very average quality. Sugar cane can only be harvested from December to June and there is only one harvest per year. (By contrast, molasses-based rum can be produced throughout the year, since the raw molasses can be stored in tanks or sacks, like potatoes, for several months) Once the three-metre high sugar cane plants have been hand-cut, again using a machete, into 50cm sections, these small pieces are ground down into a cane fibre mash which is pressed hydraulically to extract the cane juices. Pressing is a time-consuming process. Of each kilo of freshly harvested sugar cane, 70% is fibre and just 30% is juice! As with ultra-premium olive oil, only the first pressing of the cane fibre is used for the production of Porfidio single cane rum. In addition, unlike many of their competitors, they do not dilute their freshly squeezed juice during the pressing, as this would greatly reduce the quality of the sugar cane juice. The juice derived from mature sugar cane plants contains natural sugar cane sugar, otherwise used for the production of granulated sugar, which is the basis for the subsequent fermentation process. The cane juice is creamy in colour, similar in appearance to pressed white wine grapes. During fermentation the natural cane sugar contained within the juices is transformed into alcohol by tiny micro-organisms.These 'good' bacteria convert the sugar into wine. If 'bad' bacteria are allowed to get into the fermentation tanks they will turn the cane juices into vinegar. Destileria Porfidio uses a temperature and humidity controlled, impeccably clean environment in which case the fermentation process requires four days, as opposed to the one day, open air solution used by many producers. The fermented sugar cane wine has an alcoholic content of only 8% alcohol by volume. The fermented cane juice is distilled three times, in traditional alambic pots, separating the heads and the tails at each distillation and only keeping the heart of each distillate. Plata Triple-Distilled at 45% alcohol by volume is also the starting point for the ageing process which will over time produce Porfidio A+¦ejo Single-Barrel Rum.
