Merser & Co Double Barrel

I saw this being presented at a festival in probably one of the worst sales pitches of all time , the rum was known as "the hero blend " tasting on the day I cannot write the words so tasted at a later date .

The rum is a blended rum in London first for decades but starts with very young oak notes, adds in the almonds and then finishes with charcoal ...

Not bad but let the rum do the talking

A wonderful orange colour with a warm, smooth, hint of plum flavour. Not overly woody which one may expect from a double barrel. For the price this rum punches above its weight. Reminds my of spytail rum. Worth the adventure.

Perfect balance between aged and young rum, between dry and sweet.
43.1° feels ideal.
Strong vanilla and a bit of barrel's taste. At the same impression somehow watery, somehow salty. An average long aftertaste.

Neat classic rum. Edit: +1 point for being so drinkable

A grown up blend that is smooth yet a spikey burn when drunk neat. Nice to have one of an evening

I love this, sweet, full of flavour and a bit of fire to it, but all in a very natural way. I would put this in the same ball park as Mount Gay Black Barrel and Angostura..

Interesting bottle with a natural colour rum. On sipping the fire is there but it soon goes out. There is a lingering taste of a woody flavour but not enough punch for me.

un ottimo blend non molto impegnativo, vaniglia e frutti tropicali presenti, finale non molto lungo. un rum interessante

Comes in a nice dimpled bottle with a real cork: nice detail. Rum itself has nice flavours and 43.1% alcohol content. It's just a little bit on the harsh side when sipping it. Hence a 7 from me. If it was smoother then I'd give an 8 for sure.

A nice average taste. I thing overwhelming or poor. Just one of the average ones

For the price, I assumed this would be a better sipper. Has a strange aftertaste that I cant put my finger on? it is smooth but for the price was thinking I would get more pronounced flavors.
