Fantastic video. This year is such a huge growth for rum. There are many contenders for best rum 2024 that has yet to come out and I hope it lands on the list atleast such as 8 marks ex-bourbon.
i’ll be picking up a bottle of pagos before the month’s end. given your video on it and some other reviews i have seen, it should be a treat for me and my taste preferences in rum. i am fortunate enough to have access to it before it inevitably goes out of stock forever. amazing video as always, arminder. i’m really looking forward to what the second half of the year has in store.
Enjoy the Pagos! Yeah, this year has been a pretty great year for rum, and we're only halfway through. Looking forward to more goodies for the remaining 6 months.
Epic stuff. My new favorite distillery is TDL. Had some recent single cask bottling that were just an absolute explosion of tropical fruit and sweet dark notes. (Boutique-y 17yo and Up Spirits Club 14yo)
I've been working my way through the Hampden 8 Marks Collection from lowest to highest ester count, and the last one I tasted was the HLCF. Looking forward to cracking open the H and HGML tonight.
@@therumrevival Update: I agree! They both had strong aromas of nail polish remover/ paint thinner, but the HGML had a nice sweet fruitiness on both the nose and the palette.
So picks of the year thus far: The ELD High Ester. The Great House 2023 HSE Foret de Montpensier (no 1 so far) HSE Small Cask 2016 Pere Labat Insula Nox 2013 Outlier Millions of Peaches. (The single biggest surprise of the TWE show this past weekend. A crazy rum, which tastes like no other Rum I own)
Oh man, I'm so bummed I didn't go to TWE this year. I really can't wait to try the Millions of Peaches. Also, I wish we got more stuff like those HSE and PEre Labat releases here in the states.
Sadly, we don't get most of the better quality Agricoles in the UK either. However, Exellance Rhum in Paris diliver (at a price) to the UK. I believe that they ship to the US.
The best I've had is Foursquare Master Series Edition No. 3. I wish I had more newer options available. Atlanta/American South has more representation for bourbon. I get why bourbon overcame rum from a cost/availability a century ago, but rum and rum cocktails pair better with southern cuisine and have a deeper history in colonial America.
I’ve been eyeing the No. 3, might have to buy it now. Can’t really go wrong with Foursquare. And yeah, I wish distribution was much more even throughout the country
I hope we see more sugarcane rums aged in tequila barrels - The few that have been released are impossible to find - I know there were some bottles of Paranubes anejo aged in tequila barrels, but that's long gone.
Your videos are always top tier. Keep em coming. 🤙🏻
Thanks! Will do!

Thanks, and agreed. Such a good year for rum. I'm very excited to check out the aged 8 Marks collection

I've come to really love older heavier TDL rums. Haven't had those specific bottlings but they are totally my speed
Great video, good sir.
Thank you kindly
im glad i scored the Ghana 2020. my favorite rum of the year so far
so good!
El Dorado high ester available here in the UK at 150 GBP a bottle, an absolute ridiculous price.
I own most of these bottles and 💯 agree!
Awesome....cheers!

Enjoy! Its been awhile since I had them but remember thinking that of the last four the HGML really stood out. Almost had this sweetness to it?

Don’t see any of these so kinda at a loss. They sound fantastic though maybe one day. Enjoy!!

Can we combine all these rums for a rum old fashioned? Hehe
haha only one way of finding out!
I hope we see more sugarcane rums aged in tequila barrels - The few that have been released are impossible to find - I know there were some bottles of Paranubes anejo aged in tequila barrels, but that's long gone.
Yeah, same here. What little rums ive had aged in tequila, I've enjoyed. Cane juice and lightly aged seem the way to go.
Pagos is #1
A great rum!
So jürgen klopp lost weight and started a youtube channel after liverpool huh
lol had no idea who that was, but sure I'll take it
@@therumrevivalcheck out Liverpool FC ex manager to see who Kloop is 👍
