Review #1210; Rum #524

This is a bottling of rum done by That Boutique-y Rum Company via Trinidad Distillery Limited. This rum was distilled from molasses on a multi-column still, aged for 17 years, then bottled at cask strength. According to TBRC this is of the FPH marque which comes from the Fernandes marks and is a heavy rum marque

I have drank my fair amount of single malt but got started writing reviews about Single Malt and Bourbon in 2018. Over 1000 total reviews later and I focus mainly on Sugar Cane Spirits now. However, single malt is a still a spirits category I enjoy greatly as is Agave and Brandy. I wouldn’t go as far as to call myself an expert but I am the resident Rum obsessed writer for Malt Runners.
