Charles Merser & Co Rum Merchants Double Barrel
Sip it neat and you get a fruity, cocktail-like nose, then vanilla, caramel and cask spice, with a woody, slightly nutty finish. One taster clocked a "soft hint of whiskey at the end." Several call it pleasant but easygoing rather than memorable — a good next step up from rum and cola without going full Jamaican funk.

Aggregated from 42 community reviews.
Soft, fruity vanilla-and-oak everyday sipper Well-liked as a soft, fruity everyday pour with vanilla and oak. A few tasters find it a touch forgettable and wish it had more punch than 43.1%.

Most helpful positive review
Strong aroma like a Jamaican rum, heavy on the dunder, but quite refined with it. Spicy and dry in the mouth with a caramel undertone. Finish is woody and nutty.

Surprisingly fruity on the nose, like a large fruit cocktail. Vanilla and barrel notes on the palate. First toffee and pastry on the finish, then woody again.
Review by Mathieu Visiere
A good rum, pleasant in the mouth, lightly woody and vanilla-flavoured, with no added sugar or colouring.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review →Though to be fair some "Premium" products struggle to do even that.......... Overall this is a nice blend of rum. However it is a bit "forgettable". It doesn't offer anything radically different. That said it is a good rum to make a step up from Rum and Coke. It's approachable...
