Callwoods rum

Is it possible to get unblended Callwoods rums in Europe? Older Pusser's bottles are 100% British Virgin Islands? There's some similarity in style between British and US Virgin Islands rum? Why there aren't independent bottlings from Wm Cadenhead or Bristol Spirits?

Thanks,

Alberto

Callwood doesn't export any of his rum, he hardly makes enough to satisfy Tortola.

Pusser's rum was never 100% British Virgin Islands rum, it is a blend of rums from Guyana, Trinidad, Barbados and Jamaica.

As for the similiarity in style between the rums from the BVI and the USVI is explained that except for Callwood's most of the rums labeled for the BVI were made in St Croix.

Cadenheads buys rum from distilleries, ages it and then bottles it under their own label.

Hope this helps.
