In this free edition of our monthly bonus Patreon episode, we taste through three highly anticipated new rums in La Maison & Velier's Flag Series:

Cambodia 2016: an 8-year-old pot still rum from Samai Distillery (48.7% ABV)

Jamaica 2015: a 9-year-old pot still rum from Worthy Park (60.4% ABV)

Fiji 2012: a 12-year-old pot still rum from South Pacific Distilleries (64.5% ABV)

Tune in for some background on Cambodian rum, our thoughts on each rum, some reflections on the Flag Series as a whole, a digression on Bob Dylan, and more!

Note: These samples were provided to us free of charge, and with no promise of a review or episode like this.

We're back with our semi-blind reviews series — but with a twist!

In this mystery sample edition, both of us have no idea what the identity of this rum is before diving in headfirst for a review. Along the way, we offer our best guesses as to the rum's origin and key characteristics.

This time, it's a 20-year-old rum from Trinidad Distillers Limited bottled by Compagnie Des Indes. Tune in to see how close we get!

A special thank you to Rumcast patron Ben for providing the mystery sample.

Have a listen and let us know what you think of this rum!

Big news: we're buying a cask and branding, bottling, labeling, and releasing our own single cask rum! Throughout this process, we'll be taking you along on the journey as we conceptualize the rum, travel to the Main Rum Company in Liverpool to find the perfect cask, and do all the other stuff that goes into a first-time release.

In this episode, we tackle our first creative challenge — coming up with a name for the brand / release! We discuss themes we'd like the name to capture, things we'd like to avoid, and then share ideas for names that we've brainstormed separately — including the bad, the ugly, and the...possibly OK?

Have a listen and shoot us an email (host@rumcast.com), comment, or message with your thoughts, ideas, or things you'd like us to throughout the process.
