There is a Rum for everyone, but they don’t know it…yet
Ranging from white, dark, gold to spiced, rum was considered as a substitute for currency back in the 18th century. Even today, an element of secrecy is attached to the eccentric blend of this spirit which certainly enhances its appeal. Therefore, we look forward to celebrating this year’s ‘World Rum Day’ on August 16 with some of the finest rums at your disposal.
1. Harewood Dark Rum 1780
Estimated price - $34,000
This particular rum is believed to be the oldest amidst all and was distilled in the year 1780. Although its distillation process took place in Barbados, it was transported to the UK during the 19th century and was bottled at by Oldfield’s of York. However, with a startling discovery in 2011, twenty- eight bottles of this rum were found in the basement of Harewood House in Leeds.
2. J. Wray and Nephew 1940s Rum
Estimated price - $51,000
There are only four unopened bottles left of the original 1940s J. Wray and Nephew’s Jamaican rum in the world. It was during the 1930s that certain cocktails like Mai Tai drained the rum’s supplies and gave rise to a new recipe, leaving behind the authentic composition that features rum dating back to the year 1915.
3. Legacy by Angostura
Estimated price - $25,000
Legacy was launched by Angostura in the year 2012, which marked the golden jubilee of Trinidad and Tobago’s independence. It is a unique blend of the seven rarest and most precious rums produced by Angostura. Moreover, the decanter with its exquisite stopper was designed by Asprey International Limited, jeweller to the Prince of Wales.
4. Goslings Auld Trophy Rum
Estimated price - $10,000
This iconic rum was released so as to commemorate the 35th anniversary of America’s Cup yacht race in 2017. The handmade silver and crystal decanter are shaped like the Auld Mug trophy which is placed inside a handcrafted wooden box by Moran’s Wood Components, along with the bottle of rum that was prepared from the oldest barrels of the company.
