Thomas Tew Authentic

I really enjoyed this rum it starts out with sweet oak flavor and finishes with a nice burn, very good to sip I like to add a cube of ice.

Enjoyable, layered American rum. Great sipper. An oaky hint of butterscotch. The burn is warming and mellow, but lasts.

Black strap molasses based rum distilled using brewers yeast in copper pot stills. Many of the ingredients and equipment from the 18th century have been reintroduced and incorporated into their rum making.
Flavorful, earthy, full- bodied and on the fruity, sweeter side this single barrel rum is very nice.
It is hard to come by since it is pretty much allocated in the New England area and I believe Texas. So, you will probably have to order this rum online.
For some good, reason, I encountered a bottle of it in a new liquor store here in Florida!!!!
Cheers!

I live just 40min from Newport Storm where this is made, so I took a trip there w/ my dad to have a tasting. It was that good that we each got a bottle. It’s more oaky than Caribbean rums and they’re trying to make this like they did back in the 1800s. Sweet and smooth with whiskey notes, but definitely a rum. This is definitely a sipping type!

This is a really nice rum, perhaps the bourbon barrel aging imparts some special magic.
Who knows.
I like it on its own, or with a bit of pineapple juice, lime and bitters. Also highly recommended in a Painkiller.

Really good stuff.

Went to the brewey/distillery. Couldn't taste it so got 1 bottle. WOW! Should've got a case. These guy are spot on. Well worth the $30 a bottle. Low sugar content and has legs to stand on. They have shown me that you don't have to spend much for decent quality.

Plenty of flavor, despite having none of the fruit or sugar overtones of more famous "premium" rums. It reminds me a lot of Bajan gems like Seale 10-year-old, but with a more aggressive presentation. It's just as dry, with a lot more oaky goodness. Enjoy it straight up (a perfect choice), or mix it with fresh lime and sugar, but certainly don't waste this excellent rum by pouring it into soda pop. Much too good for that!

I will leave my old rating behind. I still am not happy with that bottle however I poured some in coke this time and wow is that some good stuff. Don't go heavy on the coke, it just needs some to take the burning edge off. However wow what a good bourbon/rum bastard child. Wish it was better straight or this could be a high 9.
To start the bottle is nice. But there was just one problem, how do you open it? There is no pull tab through the wax so you have to claw away at the wax to pull the cork out. After about 5 minutes of clawing away at the wax which made me feel like an alcoholic savage. The cork finally pops out. The stuff smells like your drier rums. Appleton, Ron barcelo ect but has a hint of the bourbon aged barrel it came from. From the glass you're going to know right away this needs to breathe. The ethanol is harsh smelling. So I gave it 20 minutes in time out for bad behavior. After that, it's balanced itself out. It has distinct characters of all its flavours in the odor. However the problem starts when you drink it straight. It is amazing at first, however it splits right down your tongue at the sides burning them? I never experienced something like this before. My left and right side (but not the middle) were totally stinging from the bite. Kinda like Moses parted my tongue. It's flavours are very interesting and distinctive, oak molasses, less vanilla than usual, nuts. This definitely is the son of bourbon and rum. However with that said I wasn't to happy with the bottle and how much it burned. Definitely not one you can sip straight, it needs rocks at least.

This is a nice run to use as a mixer, not a fan of it straight up. Better than the mass produced stuff

Found this US rum at a party store and decided to give it a try. With no knowledge of this rum before my first sniff, I had to recheck the bottle! smells much more like bourban than rum. Oh, aged in bourban barrels. No wonder. I little too much of that flavor in this rum for my liking. If you are a bourban drinking looking for something just a little differnet, this is it.
