Rum Haul: Every Single Bottle I Got Last Month 

What is this. I can tell by the packaging, it's not the good stuff.

Came here for the rum. Sticking around for the label feistiness.

This is a good format for a video.

The riches you guys enjoy on the coast are absolutely wild. These bottles are all interesting to try. I recently picked up the Hamilton The Breezeway Blend and Uruapan Charanda Blanco.

personally, i would love to see more rum haul videos. it is a helpful way of updating the audience on recently released rums that you may not have time to speak on otherwise.

This was pretty cool, definitely do more. Just enough peppering with short review notes to make it interesting, not just an unboxing ❤

The Flor de Caña 4 and 7 rums used to say "Aged up to 4/7 years" respectively. They have since changed their labeling and the numbers have nothing to do with age statements.

Love seeing more Grand Arome stateside. It's stands out from all the other rum styles out there. Really looking forward to getting a bottle from Raising Glasses soon. Adding just a tiny bit of Grand Arome to a classic Mai Tai really adds another layer of depth.

I’ve never heard of many of these rums. In my area (Northern Virginia-DC, MD, VA metro area). I have about 30 different bottles of rum (and, a half dozen or so each of Tequila, whiskey, and gin; as well as a couple of bottles of vodka and miscellaneous liqueurs). In Virginia, liquor/spirits are sold in state-owned ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Control) stores. Selection of rum and other alcoholic beverages varies by store/location. I haven’t gone booze shopping in DC or MD much (except military bases-I’m a retired military officer).

I thought this format was interesting, and would absolutely watch future videos like this.

I too have been on abit of a rum buying spree. Here's my most recent (may my accountant forgive) : Compagnie des Indes Boulet de Canon No.9. It's fat washed with BBQ grease.....Gotta try that. Plantation Fiji 2011 bottled for Tipples of Manchester. Finished in a Marsala cask, love the stuff coming out of Fiji. A 13 year old TDL from Chorlton Whiskey. Honestly, the label. Medieval artwork straight out of something you'd see in a monastery.

Baie des Trésors : best of french product unaged you have here :) Love From France !

Never too much rum!

My understanding is that in whiskey the age statement is always the youngest age in the blend, whereas in rum the more traditional way was the solera type statement of the oldest rums like you see on the denizen label. It's only recently that rum started adopting the more integrity way of stating the youngest age, since there's no legal requirement in most of the rum producing countries like there is in scotland.

Those are some badass rums! Love the details + review.

I love this. If you can find the Dillon Rhum Vieux you should grab a bottle. It's fantastic.

Great concept for a video. Was an autoclick for me and it delivered. Should definitely keep it up. Will be on the lookout for your Rhum Agricole video!

I do find this kind of videos very interesting so please keep 'em comin' 😄 You asked what I've bought recently. Well, I'm really into rums but I also drink other spirits. I mainly make cocktails rather than drink any spirit on its own. So here's my latest order I made to Germany (as we don't have these in Finland and if we had, they would be about +50% more expensive): Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey Michter’s US★1 Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey Knob Creek Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey Jack Daniels Gentleman Jack El Dorado Special Reserve 15 Year Doorly’s 12 Year Appleton 12 Rare Casks Appleton Reserve Blend 8 Year Doorly’s White 3 Year Plantation 3 Stars Barsol Italia Pisco Hernö Old Tom Gin Plymouth Sloe Gin Berkshire Sloe Gin Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao Discarded Sweet Cascara Vermouth Martini Rosso (sweet vermouth) Cinzano Rosso (sweet vermouth) Drambuie Disaronno Amaretto I've had a couploe of these before and had to restock. Now, I don't usually buy these amounts every month 🙂 This was my first bigger order in 6 months. Looking forward to receiving these in the next few days.

"I bought too much rum" are words I wish I said. Love this video on how you show your haul for the month. If this is just 1 month, I can't imagine your whole collection. Would you ever show us ALL your bottles? And where you keep it?

Love this format.

If you can afford it, keep the haul videos coming! Look forward to seeing some reviews of these rum.

Like this format. We recently picked up the El Dorado High ester rum

Good video, you covered most of the rums I’ve been curious about buying, now I know not to waste $45 on the Monymusk, thanks!

I would absolutely watch more haul videos

They do it a lot and it’s great! And nobody does it for rum, so thank you. I love seeing what’s out there

I like this video and would definitely like to see more. I like your quick impression on each one because that's just enough info for me to know if I should consider looking for it or not.

I love a haul.

Nice video with a lot of great information! If you make another video like this I will definitely watch it. 👍

Perfect video to decompress from work and sip my clairin ti' punch to!

Great video obviously we will struggle to get some of these rums in the UK, but some very familiar names and great content. FYI on the Agricole Blanc, as you say Clement make a 40% standard ABV Blanc with is OK but nothing special. However, they also make a 50% Blanc although it's difficult to find outside France, and I believe there is a 55% version still sold in Martinique. Canne Bleue also comes in two versions a standard bottle (which I think is what you have) and a single vintage. The HSE is my favourite brand of Agricole, thier standard Blanc is good, but not in the same class as the Parcilliere which is still my top Martinique blanc

Planteray Cut and Dry Coconut is incredible if it's available in your area. We're just starting to see it trickle into stores in my Milwaukee

Thank you for the video. I liked it. I tasted Equiano rum for the first time monday... It's a must to try, if not to have.. it will be in my bottles collection.

Damn dude, so jealous of your rum haul. Wish I had this kind of selection here in Texas. Great channel btw, subscribed!

That Dillon label looks like its from an old can of cooking lard or chicken bouillon. It's got that old fashioned funkiness you also find on the Mellow Corn label.

Thanks for the video, Arminder! I, myself, am an amateur rum enjoyer. I like to pick up a bottle or two to try from time to time and am (unfortunately) a sucker for an interesting label/bottle design. Just picked up some Tso'ok Oaxacan Mountain Rum. Not sure if the taste is to my liking but the smell is fantastic! Do you have a video about sipping rums? I like to try many new rums but find that there are only a few that I truly enjoy. Perhaps my palate needs more experience. So far one of my current favorite rums comes from a distiller in San Diego, Malahat Spirits Co. I find their Black Tea Rum to be delicious.

Love this format - what’s your chilled ti’ punch spec?

Great video format. What I've been doing with my nicer/collector rums and wines is using a collage book where I put their labels to save. I use a one-sided sticky tape.

Hse blanc is really good, in par with la favorite coeur de canne. Dillon though...is rough.

This is a great video!!! I love these first impression and “look what I got” videos! I ordered some Rum Fire from Wooden Cork and some Breezeway Blend from Hamilton, both are amazing and I can’t wait to get more. I’m in Sacramento, if you have any suggestions on stores that carry awesome rums, please let me know! Thanks again Arminder!

I think this video was great. However, if you get into a crazy buying habit for the sake of video production your overall quality might drop. I have seen that with the bourbon bros on youtube. I'd rather not see rum content devolve to simply drinking for the sake of drinking. You have a lot of knowledge, you are very personable, and I think I speak for a lot of us that there's clearly a passion for rum in your content. At the end of the day, it's way more about quality than quantity. Don't make content that will cause burnout or regret. Also that down island Ghana was so FREAKING GOOD!

I was disappointed by the Monymusk OP too, not my favorite as a sipper and I haven’t found a good cocktail home for it yet. It mixes OK with Ting but Worthy Park and W&N are better. That Dillon is gonna be good, I’ve only had the 80 proof and it is veeeery briny.

Would be nice to see closeups of the labels!

Its good to have some good reviews but i hope not at the expense of your other content. I enjoy more of a deep dive review with a lot of background on the rum, distillery, bottler etc. I have recently bought some Le Galion DOK from Fine Drams, totally agree it's more drinkable than the Réunion Grand Arôme (though I enjoy both). Other new bottles include Clarendon EMB 26yr from Fine Drams (350 mL, nice) and a couple of Grenada agricoles from Renegade.

I went to Martinique last month and bought A LOT of rhum. 4L in 2 bags of JM terroir volcanique, La Favorite Coeur de Canne 50%, La Favorite la digue 2023, La Favorite millésime 2017, Neisson L'esprit (that 70% is much more accessible that I was anticipating), Neisson Dékolaj, and Clement Single Batch Canne bleue. Took also a JM Shrubb for Mai Tai and a JM cacao bitter for Rum Old fashioned 🥳

I really appreciate this video introducing me to rums I am not familiar with because they are not in my area. Would love to know if I can find them online.

Thank you for your thoughts about the Monymusk Overproof. I was left unwowed and was afraid I was being too critical.

Going off the first rum (that disappointed you), did you know that Worthy Park has a new white overproof-not a replacement their famous Rum-Bar Overproof-that's made with a blend of molasses and cane juice distillate, and have you tried it yet?

I finally bought some Rum Fire and am not sure what to do with it, it's so damn funky

Hauuuullll me tender! FWIW I’ve seen a handful of rums that only explicitly acknowledge the “up to X years” on the BACK label rather than the front. In fact, the old Denizen label does this “lying in the front admitting on the back” thing! It’s still BS for sure; nevertheless I’m glad to see the moderate and righteous pissiness over this (ironically transparently?) disingenuous marketing move. Other “up to X yrs” rums I’ve seen are mostly either South American (Venezuelan esp) and/or solera adjacent stuff.

moar!
