Siddiqui Brown Rum, 40 percent ABV, 70 cl

Product Information

Siddiqui was the gift of relaxation the oil workers all made for themselves,” according to Nigel Brown, CEO and Co-founder of Siddiqui Rum. I’ll be fair to Penderyn Disillery though they are producing this rum for The Siddiqui Rums Corporation based in California. Still it would be nice if someone, somewhere did a little bit of research. It is perhaps no wonder this rum has been largely ignored by the rum community. Leaving overtly curious little weirdos like me to review it……

If you want to read a bit more Siddiqui then please read this. I’ve had enough hyperbole for one day. The see-through bottle reveals an oil field. It all looks good but I just can’t get past having “Brown Rum” emblazoned across the front. It just sounds so unappetising. Vok is one of Australia’s largest beverage companies.

That’s a pity because it is an outstanding rum. This is a no age statement, solera-based rum. The reference to 21 is the age of the solera. This a very aromatic rum. It offers up notes of fruit, along with caramel, vanilla and white chocolate. Nosing Siddiqui Brown Rum I am hit by a lot of oak and smoke. It’s very woody but not terribly “spicy”. I’m not getting a lot of vanilla its more an old smell. I’m wondering about oak staves being used and perhaps some added sugar or glycerin. It smells old but has a strange smoky/sweetness to it. As a mixer its not going to win any awards from me either. Mixed with cola and ginger beer it just gives a smoky flavour and little else. Maybe a touch of wood. It just turns your cola into a smoky woody cola. The much respected and highly popular Simon Roffe is Penderyn Distillery’s new Director of Business Development.

Siddiqui Brown Rum is a spirit that, ‘Sips like a whisky and parties like a rum’, and tastes like no other spirit. It has a distinctive whisky-like smokey and oaky note, but it is rounded with a short finish as you’d expect from a quality rum.

Siddiqui (sid-E-key), the code word for moonshine, means “my friend”. To those who know about Siddiqui, have drank Siddiqui or have discretely made Siddiqui at home, many will recall it as a whiskey, others a vodka, but Siddiqui is a rum like no other. Builders and Engineers often work in conditions, sometime illicitly, where there is limited access to the tools and tech others have on tap, so they innovate, get creative, collaborate and become tenacious with materials they have around them. Siddiqui is from this world and is the friend, and often catalyst, to these memorable moments.
