Product Information

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. These rums are blended together and left to rest in a marrying cask in London for a further period of six months before being bottled. You should also note that the picture images show only our serving suggestions of how to prepare your food - all table accessories and additional items and/or ingredients pictured with the product you are purchasing are not included. With alluring vanilla sweetness with flashes of vibrant tropical fruit and a wonderful toasty oak character, Charles Merser Double Barrel Rum is perfect in vintage London serves such as the Palmetto or Knickerbocker. The dimpled bottle represents the Thames on which the rum was carried, while the logo of the hunting dog sitting on a pole refers to the days when most Londoners could not read and followed symbols to find their way towards the merchant houses.

Elegant, distinctive and wonderfully smooth, its personality will shine through with your mixer of choice. Even if the profile tends to be more towards the light and woody Dominican Republic rums, I found that the Barbadian and Jamaican component additions add some nice vibrant fruit layers along with a bit more body, but not too much so it overtakes the overall easy-going style. The palate is mouth-coating, warming and generous with soft notes of vanilla, more of that tropical fruit and some wine-like notes created through the cask maturation process. The very best rums from Jamaica, Barbados and Dominican Republic are aged for 12 years before being blended in London. These cookies are needed for essential functions such as signing in, storing products in your trolley and making payments.And to make it slightly more confusing, at an online tasting last year it was stated that there’s rum from Guatemala in there too, with the components aged up to 8 years. It may not be reproduced in any way whatsoever without the prior consent of Waitrose Limited nor without due acknowledgement. A smooth and layered balance of fine Caribbean rums aged up to eight years, harmonised and rested for six weeks in London.

The result is a genuine and beautifully balanced golden rum to be enjoyed with your favourite mixer. Hints of tropical fruits as well as butterscotch and an oaky sweetness, Merser Signature is elegant, distinctive with a wonderfully smooth finish. The family based distillers, Hayman's, (who are best known for their gins) brought this heritage back to life.Subsequently, the rums were transported to Britain, where they were mixed in the very heart of London and left to age for 6 months. Merser Double Barrel is a delicious artisanal blended rum that will offer you a wonderful elegant taste with notes of chocolate, vanilla, fruit and spices. Nice color, smell like fruit with hint of vanilla smooth, taste is good, cream and sweet but with hint of fruit, end is nice and smooth. Award-winning Merser seeks out the world’s finest rums, then blends them in London to bring out their individual characteristics in perfect harmony.
