Watsons Trawler Rum 70cl

Product Information

All of these channelled some whiff of the old merchant bottlers and their blends, or tried for a Navy vibe (not always successfully, but ok…). I mean, it’s thick to smell, with layers of muscovado sugar, molasses, licorice, and bags of dark fruits. Some of the data that are collected include the number of visitors, their source, and the pages they visit anonymously. It’s in that simplicity, I argue, lies much of Watson’s strength and enduring appeal — “an honest and loyal rum” opined Serge Valentin of WhiskyFun in his review .

Trawler Rum, 70cl - Homewood Delights Watsons Trawler Rum, 70cl - Homewood Delights

A solid, straightforward, simple drink, I would say – no airs, no frills, very firm, and very much at home in a mix. First jobs, first drunks, first kisses, first tastes of independence away from parents…first solo outings of the youth turning into the adult, perhaps. The finish is short and faint and wispy — no gilding that lily — mostly anise, molasses and caramel, with the fruits receding quite a bit. The Black Tot Blenders Reserve 2023 Edition epitomizes the art of blending, masterfully merging the annals of history with the nuances of modern-day craftsmanship.

Like Johnny I offer no guarantee that my readings are 100% accurate and I can only use already published results as a baseline for mine. I may be romanticizing a drink overmuch, you could argue…but then, just read my first paragraphs again, then the last two, and ask yourself whether you don’t have at least one rum like that in your own collection. They may be copying Pusser’s or the British heritage of centuries past, they are cheap, drinkable, and enjoyable and have no pretensions to snobbery or age or off-the-chart complexity.

Watson’s Trawler Rum – Review – The Lone Caner

The added sugar/additives in rum debate has been rumbling on for a few years now and still many companies openly deny the practice. The company, according to Anne Watson (granddaughter of the founder), was formed in the late 1940s in Aberdeen, sold at some point to the Chivas Group, and since 1996 the brand is owned by Ian McLeod distillers (home of Sheep Dip and Glengoyne whiskies).It also smells of stewed apples, aromatic tobacco, ripe cherries and a wedge or two of pineapple for bite. It’s been many years since the first of those blended dark-coloured UK supermarket rums dating back decades crossed my path – back then I was writing for Liquorature, had not yet picked up the handle of “The ‘Caner”, and this site was years in the future. Sure the label says Barbados is in the mix, but for my money the nose on this thing is all Demerara. The continuity in this blend's depth and character is maintained by integrating elements from the previous year's Master Blender’s Reserve.
