The Langatun Red Beard Sailors Choice Rum is a modern Swiss-made white rum that pays homage to the rich history of Caribbean rum. With its vintage-inspired label and name, it evokes the spirit of pirates and buccaneers, as well as explorers and seafarers who once fell in love with rum. However, this is a contemporary product that is made available as a white rum from Switzerland. After distillation from molasses, it undergoes no aging in wooden casks.
Interestingly, the family-run business not only acts as an independent bottler but also as a producer. Instead of sourcing distillates from Caribbean regions, they import molasses and handle the distillation process locally in Switzerland. Moreover, they use sugarcane grown without the use of chemicals.
The Langatun Distillery, founded in the mid-19th century as a family business, has been led by the Baumberger family for over 150 years. What started as a traditional brewery and distillery now also produces Swiss Single Malt Whisky under the Langatun and Seven Seals brands. The company covers various spirits categories, and among its fascinating hidden gems is the Langatun Red Beard Sailors Choice Rum, which proves that not all rum needs to be classic Caribbean rum.
In terms of aroma and flavor, the clear Langatun Red Beard Sailors Choice Rum should not be underestimated. It embodies youthful spirit and boldness. On the nose, it offers tropical fruits like pineapple and passion fruit, complemented by sour cherry and raspberry. Sweet undertones of caramelized almonds and licorice accompany the aroma. On the palate, the Langatun Red Beard Sailors Choice Rum is smooth and light, expressing tropical fruits, berries, marzipan, and a sweet undertone of sugarcane.
The rum is distilled from imported molasses and undergoes no aging, resulting in a pure white rum.
This rum is unique because it is produced in Switzerland, using sugarcane grown without chemicals, and distilling it locally instead of sourcing from the Caribbean.
