The ornate and extravagant Kinloch Castle on the Isle of Rum. Built between 1897 and 1900, it had electricity, central heating, hi-tech plumbing and an internal telephone system. A slice of Belgravia, and perhaps Bohemia, in Scotland. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/rum/kinlochcastle/index.html

Here’s the beautiful rum still at NB Distillery at #northberwick in #eastlothian it’s back up running again and producing excellent #rum Watch out for their special releases of their barrel aged rum.

Conversation with the guys (and a sneaky wee tasting 👍) at NB Distillery today in #eastlothian at #northberwick and they have some seriously amazing #rum coming to the market soon. This is a maker to watch!!

The mountainous island of Rum, the largest of the Small Isles that lie to the south of the Isle of Skye, seen from the east in the light of an autumn dawn. The mountains rise to a height of 2,663ft at the summit of Askival. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/rum/rum/index.html

Writing about #rum and its #fermentation. I've described the raw material, blackstrap molasses, as a "three-time loser in the sugar potential stakes".

I'm glad my brain retained this phrase as it unlocks a passage on why molasses is hard to deal with.

It first floated to the surface as I went to sleep last night. This is the graveyard of catchy ideas.

I should have written it down or made a note on my phone. I got lucky this time but you can't rely on that happening.

Mmm #punch. With #rum. It's #cocktail time.

Booze of the day! #rum

V Rum Sharku finišujeme tyhle nádhery a na stole už mám první vzorky na příští rok - podle vůně bych řekl, že něco rozhodně vyberem.

Fancy a rum tonight? Maybe choose something other than Bacardi.

Despite the firm's claims that it would freeze advertising investment in Russia, Ukraine's anti-corruption body has found that it continued to do business there, including hiring workers and paying taxes that indirectly support Russia's war against Ukraine.

I'm listing rums made from scratch here in the UK. That's all the way from fermenting raw materials through to distillation and maturation.

My current count is 38 (England 22; Scotland 14; Wales 1; Northern Ireland 1) but there are probably more out there.

Shout if you know any distillers who fit the bill.

@sarahdalgulls I'm sure I have met many people who like drinking #rum (not me) but not on the #IsleofRum 😉

Reading a 1963 article on rum that features some frankly hilarious cocktail recipes. They make heavy use of electric blenders. There is much hollowing out of fruit, blending the flesh with rum, refilling the fruit and serving on a bed of ice. If not that then it's all glacé cherries on cocktail sticks stuck down the end of your straw.

Anyway... take a look at this opener for the Coconut Cream cocktail.
