Merser Double Barrel Rum 70cl | A Masterful Blend of Caribbean Rums | Aged up to 12 Years | Multi-Award Winning Rum | 43.1% ABV

Product Information

These rums are blended together and left to rest in a marrying cask in London for a further period of six months before being bottled. In keeping with the traditions set by London's merchant blending houses of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, there's no sugar or colouring to be seen here, just good old fashioned rum rested in oak. The bottle represents more than meets the eye too, with the dimpled bottle representing the River Thames on which rum was transported, while the hound and post logo is a little nod to the days when most Londoners couldn't read, and would follow symbols to find their way to merchant houses.

Merser has recently launched Signature to their range, a smooth and layered balance of fine Caribbean rums aged up to eight years, harmonised and rested for six weeks in Scotch Whisky barrels in London. The family based distillers, Hayman's, (who are best known for their gins) brought this heritage back to life. Subsequently, the rums were transported to Britain, where they were mixed in the very heart of London and left to age for 6 months.It may not be reproduced in any way whatsoever without the prior consent of Waitrose Limited nor without due acknowledgement.

Merser Signature is a genuine and beautifully balanced smooth Golden Rum with hints of tropical fruits as well as butterscotch and an oaky sweetness.

The very best rums from Jamaica, Barbados and Dominican Republic are aged for 12 years before being blended in London. And to make it slightly more confusing, at an online tasting last year it was stated that there’s rum from Guatemala in there too, with the components aged up to 8 years.
