About this deal

Choose from either Fever Tree Spiced Orange Ginger Ale, Fever Tree Madagascan Cola or Fever Tree Ginger Ale. In London, we expertly blend these rums together and finish them in wooden barrels for 6 weeks in batches of just 400 bottles.

In keeping with traditions established by the London brewing houses of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, there is no sugar or coloring added to rum aged in oak barrels. Discover this delicious versatile rum, sipped neat or over ice, mixed with premium ginger ale and cola or equally enjoyable in cocktails such as the Old Fashioned. Nice color, smell like fruit with hint of vanilla smooth, taste is good, cream and sweet but with hint of fruit, end is nice and smooth. Nose You can’t mistake that high ester Jamaican component, pineapples just jump out of the glass, followed by grassy vegetal flavours, orange peel and dark chocolate. If we have many of the same product available, the photo represents the less well preserved of them.I have been a drinker of dark rum for the past 3 decades and have recently had the pleasure of consuming a bottle of Mercers rum. Double Barrel Rum is molasses based (and potentially cane juice for the Dominican Republic component), pot, column and multi-column still distilled, aged for up to 12 years in ex-Bourbon casks, blended in Central London and finished for an additional 6 months in ex-Scotch casks.

Sophisticated, complex and suprisingly dry, it is excellent in an Old Fashioned, ideal over ice or on its own.

Hints of tropical fruits as well as butterscotch and an oaky sweetness, Merser Signature is elegant, distinctive with a wonderfully smooth finish. During the 18th and 19th century, London was full of blending houses that were sourcing the rums from the Caribbean via ships that were coming down the Thames River.

The result is a genuine and beautifully balanced golden rum to be enjoyed with your favourite mixer. The Duppy Share Rum is a blend of three-year-old Jamaican rum and five-year-old Barbadian rum, which is aged in ex-bourbon barrels.

The Double Barrel blend is created by first expertly sourcing aged component rums from Barbados, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic and Panama. 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 . Before all the world went into lockdown a few years ago, Ive tasted this in Canary Wharf Waitrose and loved it.A smooth and layered balance of fine Caribbean rums aged up to eight years, harmonised and rested in for six weeks in London. On the nose, you will find an alluring vanilla sweetness with flashes of vibrant tropical fruit and a wonderful toasty oak character. Aged up to 12 years in a warm Caribbean climate, to give a smooth and refined rum with a toasted oak character, soft woody spice and hints of vanilla, appealing to American whiskey drinkers.

Merser Signature combines the finest rums from Barbados, Jamaica, Dominican Republic and Trinidad that have been aged for up to 8 years. To create our Signature blend, we carefully select the finest Rums from Barbados, Jamaica, Dominican Republic and Trinidad. I’m my personal opinion, a smooth good quality rum which does not disappoint on the high street is - diplomatico or don papa! Charles Merser source rums from across the Caribbean which are then expertly blended in London, restoring the capital's long lost history in blending the spirit. it starts off with bit of a kick to it to start but settles into a more balanced rum as you drink it.Merser Signature is a genuine and beautifully balanced smooth Golden Rum with hints of tropical fruits as well as butterscotch and an oaky sweetness. Palate Creamy and elegant, with stone fruit to the fore and the Jamaican funk present but very much in the background.
