Rebellion Spiced Rum, 70 cl

Product Information

After the end of the wars against Napoleonic France and the United States, the British Army disbanded many units for the sake of economy. Supposedly, Blackbeard marooned a mutinous crew on ‘Dead Man’s Chest’, an island speculated to be part of the British Virgin Islands. Percy obtained a commission for the 12-year-old Johnston as second lieutenant of marines on 6 March 1776.

This petition was signed by the officers of the Corps and other prominent citizens but, according to Evatt, most signatures had probably been added only after Bligh was safely under house arrest. These officers and their descendants went on to become prominent colonists, government officials and land-holders in Australia. Normally when you’re launching a new drink you’re really reliant on bars and pubs pushing your product out to people. Johnston's other grants included land which is now the suburb of Annandale, named for his property that was in turn named after the place of his birth. The first four governors, all navy men, had great problems controlling the army officers, who resented what they saw as the navy’s interference on land.

Tento ocenený, červeno-jantárovo zafarbený, aromatický rum z Trinidadu v Karibiku je jedným z mnohých dôkazov toho, aké skvelé je ochutiť rum korením. Major-General Lachlan Macquarie was put in charge of the mission after Major-General Miles Nightingall fell ill before departure. On the evening of 26 January 1808 Johnston marched almost the entire Corps to Government House where they found Bligh.

The couple had already had seven children together by that time, and they lived on his land at Annandale Farm, Sydney. Jamie, who works in advertising, believes the brand is riding high on the back of two growing trends. The jury of Corps Officers refused to recognise the court and Bligh indicated that he intended to charged them with treason. A fourth company was raised from those Marines wishing to remain in New South Wales under Captain George Johnston, who had been Governor Arthur Phillip's aide-de-camp. There were regular food shortages, the colony possessed very little infrastructure and trade was limited.Používame prírodné korenie ako škorica, muškátový oriešok, kardamón a vanilka, ktoré dnes, rovnako ako v pirátskych dňoch, majú cenuzlata. However, Bligh sailed to Hobart in Van Diemen's Land, seeking the support of Lieutenant-Governor David Collins to retake control of the New South Wales Colony. Johnston replied that he was ill, [6] as he had wrecked his gig on the evening of 24 January on his way back home to Annandale after dining with officers of the Corps. The line itself is said to have been informed by a story about the pirate Edward Teach, better known as 'Blackbeard'.

Striking a balance between national unity and cultural diversity that appropriately recognises and respects Indigenous, colonial and migrant heritage but also looks to the future, remains a challenge, but one we should look toward with confidence. He added: “Rum is actually in a third of the world’s cocktails so it’s a lot more versatile than people realise. This is a nickname for rum, as are the following: 'Barbados Water'; Kill-devil'; 'Demon water'; 'Navy Neaters'; 'Nelson's blood'; 'Rumbullion'; 'The pirate's drink'; and 'Splice the main brace' (I don’t know either). Many of the regiment's officers became wealthy and powerful individuals from their corrupt practices while in control of the colony. The regiment was reconstituted with new recruits after it arrived at its new base in Horsham in October 1810.

A staunch military man, he established military rule and set out to secure the authority of the Corps.

Johnston led the troops that deposed Governor William Bligh, assumed the title of lieutenant-governor, and illegally suspended the judge-advocate and other officials. In his defence Colonel Johnston produced a document signed by many individuals in Sydney which he claimed as evidence of the widespread alarm and chaos rampant during Bligh’s administration, and the justification for his extraordinary actions. Australia Day on the 26 January has become such a major event in our national calendar that it is easy to forget that the name of this public holiday is relatively recent. Duffy asserts that had Johnston arrived when summoned on 25 January the Rum Rebellion probably would never have happened. Many years later, in 1855, an English Quaker named William Howitt published a popular history of Australia.Shortly after the coup, a watercolour illustrating Bligh's arrest by an unknown artist was exhibited in Sydney at perhaps Australia's first public art exhibition. The factors leading up to Bligh’s arrest had much less to do with the rum trade and much more to do with a battle for power between the military and civil elites of the colony and the Governor. The suburb of Georges Hall is named after the farmhouse of the same name on land grants Johnston received near the junction of the Georges River and Prospect Creek. Evatt concludes in his history of the Rebellion that Bligh "was authorised to prevent free importation, to preserve the trade under his entire control, to enforce all penalties against illegal import, and to establish regulations at his discretion for the sale of spirits". January 1808 was certainly not a happy day for William Bligh but was he responsible for chaos in the colony?
