First Impressions
Landlocked English White Rum from Three Counties Spirits Co delivers one of the most unusual flavour profiles in the white rum category. Walnuts, biscuits, pale ale, toffee, green olives, gherkins, and candied strawberry — it reads like a tasting note from another dimension, and the liquid delivers exactly that level of quirkiness.
Tasting
The nose is genuinely surprising. Walnuts and biscuits lead, with toffee and green olives adding savoury notes. It's unlike any white rum you've tasted before.
The palate continues the unconventional journey. Walnut, biscuit, toffee, and green olive are all present, with liquorice and candied strawberry adding further complexity. At 42%, it carries decent weight. Whether this profile appeals is entirely personal — it's certainly not boring.
The finish is medium with walnut, toffee, and a distinctive close.
The Bottom Line
At £29.75, Landlocked White is a curiosity worth trying. Its unconventional profile won't suit everyone, but for rum explorers seeking something genuinely different from the mainstream, it delivers in spades. Points for individuality.
