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.
Average at best
A great tasting rum that should be drunk neat so you can fully appreciate the flavours. I’ve recommended it to many friends and they’ve all bought a bottle after having a taste
Fantastic rum!!
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
