Hi Ian

I really enjoyed the rum (so much so i only have a third of the bottle left and a stinking
hangover this morning). When I opened the bottle it was like being dumped
back in the 80's when I was a kid and my mum was making Christmas cakes and
when I tasted it I was shot back even further.


The aftertaste is like liquorice and it also reminded me of something my
dad always got me from the chemist after going to the doctors he called it
"cuddy root" it was a root, and it probably had something to do with the
flavouring of the sweet.

My girlfriend liked it as well, with her being Finnish she was getting the flavour of the liquorice as well and said it reminded her of her favourite salmiaki sweets from Finland and the salt liquorice she gets when in Sweden. Thanks very much for getting me a
bottle of this wonderful time travelling rum its awesome, I will certainly
be buying it from now on lack of funds or no!!

Regards

Hi Ian

Just to let you know the Birthday Rum went down a treat for my son's
birthday yesterday. His partner couldn't understand why he was so pleased:
"It's just a bottle of rum" she said. "No it isn't" he replied, "This is
the MUTTS NUTS"
So there you have it.

Much regards
Tony.

Hi Ian

Had a recent trip to Northumberland and purchased a bottle of your
delicious rum. Never having heard of this brand in our part of the country
Bristol thought I would take a bottle home as a present for my son who is
an ardent rum drinker.

"Dad this is the best rum I have ever tasted - even
better than Pussers" were his words. Now we have a problem because there are
no stockists in this part of the country and I noticed you do not have an
internet ordering service yet. Please can you come to my rescue as I would
like to surprise him with a bottle on his birthday 1st October.

Thank you in anticipation.
Tony

Dear Sir,

My youngest son was recently Second in Command on HMS Northumberland and visited your Establishment.
As I have been a rum drinker for over 50 years, he bought me a bottle and I just wanted to say that it is the very best rum I have ever tasted. Believe me, after ten years in the Merchant Navy, I have tasted a lot!
I am trying my best to make it last as down here in Godalming, Surrey, we don't have any stockists. It would be a real breakthrough if you can sort out your "on line" shopping as soon as possible. I don't know how much longer I can make this bottle last and my son is now shore based in Portsmouth.
My hearty congratulations on a real "Winning Formula"

Tried Alnwick in the Ship Inn in Seahouses. Absolutely brilliant, and that's a malt whisky drinker talking. Why can't we get it in Scotland?

I am constantly recommending Alnwick Rum to friends. I am also currently conducting an extensive in-house survey of the product and expect that it may take some time! Geoff

Tried your rum on Tuesday night 14th November. The aroma and taste took me back to a time over 40 years ago, when, as a small child, I would 'minesweep' the remnants of the tots of rum offered to my parents' friends at Christmas. I was caught doing it one year and was given a small glassfull of my own. I've enjoyed rum ever since, and bought a bottle of Alnwick on Wednesday!

I've tried your Alnwick Rum cocktails at Opus Art Gallery and The Art House - delicious!

My husband and I were visiting Alnwick at the weekend so we could go to the Food Festival. We tasted and bought a bottle of your delicious rum. What amazed us however were the number of other companies using Alnwick Rum in their products; you really have a winner there.
