Just added a new rum, “Latitude O Reizinho Blanc”, and found that I had to write a distillation year. So I wrote 2018 without knowing if it’s correct. Not all bottlers write distillation or vintage year on the Label especially if it’s not a certain vintage. So I suggest that that input is optional not imperative. Finally I’m also very sorry that I wasn’t careful enough when creating it. The name of the Independent bottler isn’t Latitude, it’s Latitudes.

Thanks for the suggestion. Years aged, year distilled, and ABV are indeed optional - I've now changed the help text to say this. I also updated the rum you added by removing the year distilled. I 'try' to use the main name on the bottle as that's what users typically search for - your case is odd as the mini bottle has 'Lattitudes' while the big bottle doesn't - I've changed it to just O Reizinho Blanc in hopes more users will find it like that. https://rumratings.com/brands/12592-o-reizinho-blanc

Andy, Perfectly alright with me, but the Independent bottlers name “Latitudes” is written up to the left at the round part of the label. I also believe that there also are other Independent bottlers that bottles O Reizinho, but as I started this post is it perfectly alright to use the distillery instead.

Funny one, could go either way. If it was just this bottle I could see including Lattitudes. But the other bottles from Lattitudes like https://rumratings.com/brands/12618-o-reizinho-gold have such a large "O Reizinho" on the label, I thought for sure users would search for that name first. I've thought about adding distillery and bottler data to the database some day, but even harder to keep it updated (and it's almost impossible already :)
