Barti
Barti Spiced from The Pembrokeshire Beach Food Company is a blend of Caribbean rums spiced with notes of vanilla, cloves and orange and a special ingredient: Pembrokeshire laver seaweed, also known as Welshman's caviar. As it's bottled at 35% ABV, it can't technically be called a spiced rum, due to laws and that. The name derives from a famous Pembrokeshire Pirate, 'Barti Ddu', or in English 'Black Bart'.
Warm, rich baking spices, marmalade, and a wave of coastal saltiness.
Orange zest persists through cardamom, cloves and ginger, while toffee apples, vanilla and the faintest hint of red cola cubes provide an interesting back-drop.
Medium length, very smooth and a beautiful and interesting blend of spice and salinity.
hugely overpriced and appalling flavour. quite how the price is justified considering its only 35%, not a rum, and tastes awful, is beyond me. has probably got away with it as there havent been a lot of spiced rum alternatives before now... but now there is, avoid at all costs
Reminiscent of a quarter pound of cola cubes, this rum is one of the smoothest I have ever tasted. A real tipple that can be enjoyed with or without a mixer in equal measures, whatever they do with that Pembrokeshire seaweed, it really really works
Everything you want and more, my mate Steve recommends using exactly 25ml
Since discovering this is a few years back thanks to a random stranger on Twitter, I buy one every Christmas. It's perfect. Its great neat, but I like it with a splash of good cola and a slice of lime over ice. It's beautiful.
I like rum and this is easily one of the best I’ve tried in a while
