In the golden age of seafaring, rum was the currency and apparently Sam’s rum sold from his post on the Demerara River was a huge favourite. Distilled in the world’s last operating Wooden Coffey Still, it’s aged a minimum of two years in barrel. Deep and rich with toffee, caramel flavours and a molasses finish, it’s perfect for making eggnog or hot toddies. Score: 88 (Margaret Swaine, www.WineAlign.com, Dec 2012)
