The latest video is now live on the RumShopBoy YouTube channel!
In this video I take the next step beyond beginner rum recommendations and look at five bottles that can help expand your rum horizons.
The featured rums are:
🥃 Santa Teresa 1796 🥃 Worthy Park Estate Reserve 🥃 Brugal 1888 🥃 Pusser’s Gunpowder Proof 🥃 Doorly’s 12 Year Old
Each offers something a little different, whether that’s richer flavours, Jamaican character, higher proof, extra complexity or a more premium sipping experience.
If you’ve already explored some of the beginner-friendly bottles from my earlier videos, these are excellent options for continuing your rum journey.
You can watch the full video on the RumShopBoy YouTube channel now.
I’d love to hear which of these rums you’ve tried and which one you’d choose next.
RumShopBoy | Honest Rum Reviews, Recommendations & Rum Knowledge
I'm Simon, the person behind RumShopBoy — exploring the incredible world of Rum, Ron, Rhum and Cachaça.
I've been writing about, tasting and collecting rum for many years, with a particular interest in the diversity of production styles, traditions and flavours found around the world.
RumShopBoy is all about honest opinions, independent reviews and helping people discover better rum. Whether you're completely new to rum or already have a well-stocked collection, I want to make the category easier to understand, explore and enjoy.
My content covers individual rum reviews, affordable and beginner-friendly recommendations, Rum Knowledge videos and explorations of rum-producing countries and styles from around the world.
Appleton was where my own rum journey really began, and Jamaican and Barbadian rum remain important reference points for me. Foursquare is another particular favourite, and I'm an advocate of Luca Gargano's proposed reclassification of rum as a useful way of understanding how rum is actually produced.
I hold WSET Level 1 and Level 2 Awards in Spirits, achieving Distinction at Level 2. I also hold WSET Level 1 and Level 2 Awards in Wine, again achieving Distinction at Level 2.
Away from rum, I'm a Liverpool supporter and season ticket holder, and a long-time Pet Shop Boys fan — which provided some of the inspiration for the RumShopBoy name.
