FAQs

What is the volume of rum in each bottle?

Each individual bottle contains 2cl (20ml) of rum, designed for a single tasting portion.

How many different rums are included in the set?

The set includes 24 different rums, each from a unique country, offering a diverse exploration.

Is this set suitable for beginners who are new to rum?

Yes, it is highly suitable for beginners. The diverse selection and comprehensive tasting notes provide an excellent introduction to various rum styles and origins.

Can I reuse the advent calendar packaging?

While the rum bottles are single-use, the sturdy advent calendar box could potentially be repurposed for storage or decorative purposes, though it's not designed for refilling with new rum.

What is the overall alcohol content of the rums?

The set has an overall average alcohol content of 41.3% ABV across the 24 rums.

How should I store the 24 Days of Rum Tasting Set?

Store the set in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and significant temperature fluctuations to preserve the quality of the rums.

Are the rums from specific brands, or are they independently bottled?

This is an independent bottling, meaning the rums are curated and bottled by an entity separate from the original distillers, often leading to unique selections.

Troubleshooting

A rum bottle appears to be missing or damaged.

Carefully check all compartments. If genuinely missing or damaged, contact the retailer or manufacturer's customer service with your order details.

Unsure how to start the tasting experience or interpret notes.

Begin by opening 'Day 1'. Pour a small amount into one of the included glasses. Use the tasting notes to guide your senses: first, smell the rum, then take a small sip, letting it sit on your palate. Repeat this process daily, referring to the notes for each specific rum.

The taste of a particular rum is not enjoyable.

Tasting is subjective. Not every rum will appeal to everyone. Make a note of what you didn't like and move on to the next day's rum. This helps you identify your personal preferences.

The included tasting glasses are broken.

If the glasses arrived broken, document the damage with photos and contact customer support for a replacement or resolution. You can use any small, clear glass in the interim.
