Nice pics :) Im not sure if this thread is to debate the difference between rums available to different countries, to ask what you can get in Europe or what you can only get in Europe! The difference in rum Europe to the US is massive. In Europe it is more expensive than the US & the level of choice is lower. I've not seen much good stuff on the shelves in mainland Europe but Germany has quite a few sites you can order from. It would be normal for European supermarket to have available a few 'light style rums' (e.g. Bacardi, Captain Morgan, etc), with off licences being a bit more hit & miss - I may be wrong! I think the UK has a good rum market compared to Europe - Bajan, jamaican, cuban styles, some demerara style rums are freely available. In the UK (therefore Europe) you do see products that I think arent availble in the US, mostly demerara rums e.g. OVD, Woods 100, McKinnon, Thompson. You also get 'Plantation' style limited bottlings but they tend to be more premium prices. Tiare from A Mountain Of Crushed Ice is a fan of demerara rums (I think she hails from Sweden so that suggestd they are obtainable over here) - have a read of her site: http://www.amountainofcrushedice.com/?p=11382 Cheers! :) |
