Product Information

Merser Rum is bottled directly from the barrel and has no additional colour or sweetener added to it. Nose You can’t mistake that high ester Jamaican component, pineapples just jump out of the glass, followed by grassy vegetal flavours, orange peel and dark chocolate. Hints of tropical fruits as well as butterscotch and an oaky sweetness, Merser Signature is elegant, distinctive with a wonderfully smooth finish.

While we have taken care in preparing this summary and believe it is accurate, it is not a substitute for your reading the product packaging and label prior to use. 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.During the 18th and 19th century, London was full of blending houses that were sourcing the rums from the Caribbean via ships that were coming down the Thames River. 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 blends resulted from each house were let to marry for a few months and then were shipped/sold around the world and the idea behind Merser was to revive the craft of rum blending in London. Merser Signature is a blend of fine Caribbean rums from Jamaica, Barbados, Dominican Republic and Trinidad that have been aged up to 8 years , harmonised and rested for six weeks in Scotch Whisky barrels in London.

With a toasty oak character, hints of vanilla and soft woody spice, Double Barrel is sophisticated, complex and surprisingly dry. Merser Signature is a genuine and beautifully balanced smooth Golden Rum with hints of tropical fruits as well as butterscotch and an oaky sweetness.
