Kopparberg Cherry Rum, 70cl

Product Information

I’ve been unable to find out any information on whether Kopparberg produce the rum themselves or whether they buy spiced rum and add the Cherry flavouring. From tasting it, I favour the second option. With a complete absence of any further information I may as well get on with the tasting? Now, for those of us in the UK Kopparberg are most famous for their Pear and Mixed Fruits ciders. Which are probably only eclipsed in terms of sales by Strongbow and Strongbow Dark Fruits. Mainly because they are cheaper. Indeed, Kopparberg are the choice of your more sophisticated chav with a few more pennies to spend. You’ve got to look good drinking on those street corners. Nothing says class quite like a bottle of Kopparberg Mixed Fruits and a similarly flavoured vape in your cake hole. Alongside god know what else, as the night goes on…….

Keg details including brand (Kopparberg), size and best before date. There are tool tips throughout the claims form to help you. Kojey Radical said, “I attribute a lot of my success to performing at small and independent venues in London and when Kopparberg, as an independent brand with a love of music, approached me to collaborate, it seemed like the perfect way to show my support. Rum is my go-to drink before a gig, and I often find myself sipping on a rum whilst doodling and working on my lyrics. Kopparberg’s new Dark Fruit Rum has a real depth of taste, which fuelled my creativity and inspired me to design the artwork for the limited-edition T-Shirts. This artwork is a symbol of feeling like a superhero when creating, with the intention of making others feel that same energy when they’re interacting with the creation, be it music, videos, or visual art.” When the sun sets and the volume rises, nothing goes down better than a Kopparberg Dark Fruit Rum, and to mark its launch, we’ve teamed up with East London creative, Kojey Radical, to design a limited release of 500 T-Shirts inspired by the new rum – and when they’re sold out, that’s it. Kopparberg Cherry Flavoured Spiced Rum. Fair play to Kopparberg by labelling this rum as both Spiced and Flavoured along with hitting the minimal 37.5% ABV they are producing a Spiced/Flavoured rum in line with EU regulations. Rather than the numerous Rum based Spirit Drinks that have appeared on our shelves (alongside rum) in recent years.To reclaim the duty element of any broached Kopparberg cider kegs or un-broached Kopparberg Cider Kegs that are beyond their best before date in your cellar, as a result of the on-trade closure associated with Covid-19, you will need to visit returnyourbeer.co.uk/register to register your outlet and submit your claim. Casa Obsidiana Reposado: The bottle shape of Casa Obsidiana Reposado is inspired by water’s fluid movement and ability to gently shape over time, with a colour reminiscent of the Blue Weber agave plants. Aged for four months, the tequila features an aroma of hazelnut, toffee, charred peppers, and stewed citrus. The palate provides tasting notes of warm baking spices, caramel, and earthy agave. Ancho Reyes Barrica marks the first new offering from the Ancho Reyes portfolio since the successful release of Ancho Reyes Verde in 2017. Reserva de la Familia Añejo Cristalino Organico embodies everything that makes Cristalino tequilas so dynamic. The handcrafted production process paired with the unique finish from Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks makes for a remarkable tequila that is ideally suited for tequila aficionados seeking a luxury sipping experience.” The table below contains all postcodes on a two day service.

They have also released a Dark Fruits variant on this. I would imagine using the same base rum.

The Añejo is aged for 15 months and has an aroma of oak, coffee, clove, and candied citrus. Tasting notes include butterscotch, cinnamon, raisins, and roasted agave.

The cherry notes are really sweet and remind me of Swizzels Double Dip sherbert. Which was/is ridiculously sweet and synthetic tasting. This was fine when I was 8 years old but as a 42 year old it’s not really what I’m looking for. Well not when I am meant to be drinking rum anyway! As a brand famous for taste, we’re tearing up the rulebook this summer with new Kopparberg Cherry Rum, which is inspired by the animals that come alive at night in the dark Swedish forests surrounding the town of Kopparberg, and is our first move into rum. As warm evenings turn to night, tempo and energy builds and the bass gets louder; we invite anyone who also dares to be different in the dark to give its new Cherry Rum a try. Presentation wise is in keeping with Kopparberg’s Cider range with a dark label with a gold Kopparberg logo. Surprisingly for a spiced rum you get a synthetic cork stopper which adds a touch of class. However, you may find your enthusiasm is tempered somwehat upon popping the cork…….. I tried mixing this with cola but to be honest rather than taste like Cherry Cola, it just disappeared into a faint note of fake cherry with a real hit of alcohol. Not in terms of booziness but more in terms of drinking vodka neat. It just tasted of cheap young nasty booze. Rob Salvesen, our Head of Marketing here at Kopparberg said, “Supporting independent music, artists and the venues they play in is a big focus for us as an independent brand, and we’ve teamed up with Kojey Radical, an exciting and credible artist, to highlight the importance of supporting venues during this turbulent time. Kojey’s T-shirt design has been inspired by the bottle of our new Kopparberg Dark Fruit Rum, and it completely embodies our product tagline of being ‘Different in the Dark’ and coming alive at night. We know that Kopparberg fans and fans of Kojey alike will enjoy this limited-edition range of T-shirts, which support the Music Venue Trust; a charity close to both ours and Kojey’s heart.”

Where can you buy a limited edition T-shirt?

Despite being primarily known as a musician, Kojey Radical started in the world of fashion and his passion for storytelling is displayed through his exemplary visuals and creative output, which have become as much as a calling card for the respected young artist as the music itself. His last EP started as a capsule collection and turned it into a body of work. This time round, the fashion focus drew inspiration from the new Kopparberg Dark Fruit Rum and with both parties focused on supporting the independent music space, the limited-edition T-Shirts were born. I doubt many of you reading this would have been expecting a glowing review of this but even I’m surprised how much of a mess they have made of it. To turn the añejo spirit into the Cristalino tequila style, the deep amber liquid is filtered through charcoal to produce an incredibly smooth, bright-tasting tequila, crystal clear in colour while retaining the rich flavours and textures imparted by the barrel. The final result is a tequila with an extra Sherry softness and complex flavour profile that features notes of cooked agave and dried fruits, with lasting notes of oak and a bright, refreshing finish. Kojey Radical is consistently reinventing the wheel of what it means to be a true creative and setting his ambitions sky high across every aspect of his art, with his outputs transcending the music, art, culture and fashion worlds. Flavour: Sweet and soft on the palate with rich, smooth notes of stone fruit and a refreshingly bright finish.

My life’s work as an advocate for the art of authentic tequila making and the protection of its rich history and culture is embedded into Casa Obsidiana’s tequilas,” says Francisco Quijana, Master Tequilero at Casa Obsidiana.Cristalino tequilas continue to see significant growth as tequila enthusiasts seek premium offerings with unique finishing and ageing features,” said Alex Coronado, Head of Production and Master Distiller for Reserva de la Familia. For a spiced rum Kopparberg Cherry Flavoured Spiced Rum is not to heavy on the additives. It bobs at 35% with the hydrometer, which indicates around 10 g/L of additives. Really quite low for a spiced rum and a flavoured spiced rum at that. Casa Obsidiana pays tribute to the obsidian stone found in abundance nestled among the volcanic earth where its agave plants are grown and harvested, as it has been used in Mexican culture and rituals for thousands of years and is known to cleanse oneself of negative influences. The stone is dark in colour to make space for light, passion, and positive intention within us. Paired with dessert: For the perfect after-dinner treat, Ancho Reyes Barrica complements your favorite dessert or dark chocolate square for a delightful alternative to traditional digestifs. I was excited to see the development of the tequila’s tasting notes after being aged in wine barrels and found that the end result both honours the traditions of tequila making while shining a light on what modern-day Mexico has to offer. It’s also exciting to bring this to life beside partners both old and new.”
