As many of you know, I am working my way through the 2020 – 24 Days of Rum Advent Calendar produced by 1423 World Class Spirits giving a brief review for each spirit. Unfortunately, there have been a few spirits which I have been unable to even find any information about whether on the producer’s website, or any retail website.
