Anne Bonny, the mother of Calico Jack’s

children, is represented in our softer rum.

Composed of 8-year old top rums from

Panama, it's a beautiful amber color.

A unique and unrivalled fragrance of strawberries and

apricots builds the opening, which blends with the

nuances of vanilla and caramel. On the palate, the rum

surprises with its pleasantly soft and sweetly fruity

character and the interesting interplay of fruits, caramel

and vanilla. Very soft and persistent in the finish.

Mary Read was the wilder of the two

ladies, and even shot a member of the

crew from her anger. For her, we created

a great rum with fragrances of fine toffee

and vanilla.

This beautifully soft rum was created from a blend of the

finest 12-year old rums from the Caribbean and shows

itself in a beautiful bronze. Regarding the taste, "Mary

Read's Choice" is a more typical rum compared to "Anne

Bonny's Favourite". The rum unfolds a beautiful taste of

honey on the tongue, perfectly finished by notes of

cinnamon and toffee and an echo of fine soft sweetness

and spiciness.

With the cannoneer the first member of the

crew without name gets honoured. For a

cannoneer the rum has to be somehow more

explosive. That is why „The Cannoneer‘s

Explosive“ is being produced with 48% vol.

alc. Still this excellent rum remains mild, soft

and creamy.

This rum is a dark-chocolate-bomb. It smells like finest cacao

and the smell gets reconfirmed when you taste it. On the

palate, the rum surprises with very nice flavours of nougat

and dark chocolate. The rum is labelled in bronce colours,

the material of the cannons at that time and has a black-

powder-coloured capsule. The Cannoneer‘s Explosive is

being produced in small batches of 390 bottle. Each bottle

has a unique serial number showing, year, batch no. and

bottle no. within the batch.

The fourth label of the brand is the second

„nameless“ crew-member, the crew‘s doctor.

It has been classically matured in former

bourbon white oak barrels for 21 years and

thererfore truly lives up to its name as a

tranquilizer.

On the palate, the rum initially surprises you with a taste of

hazelnut and caramel, while later you find some nougat

notes with a predominantly mild and smooth finish that is

long lasting in your mouth. A truly indulgent experience for

lovers of fine smooth spirits.

With the upcoming years further labels,

such as the crew‘s Chef, the Helmsman

and the Captain himself, are waiting in line.

Story behind the brand

In 1720, Rackham's ship, the "Revenge," was attacked by an English warship. By this time, they were in Jamaica. The ship crew - apart from the two women - was drunk and hid under deck. Anne Bonny and Mary Read fought alone. Their resistance did not last long. When the other pirates came on deck, Mary shot in anger and killed one of the crew. On 16 November 1720 the judgment for Calico Jack, Anne, Mary and the crew was appealed: death by hanging. The execution of the two women was postponed as they were supposed to be pregnant. Mary Read died one or two years later by a fever, nothing is known about Anne Bonny's further life.

Anne Bonny and Mary Read

Calico Jack Rackham, who was supposed to have invented the pirate flag Jolly Roger, left her husband and hired on Calico Jack's ship. Because women were not welcome on board pirate ships, she dressed as a man. Later in New Providence, a new man, Mark Read, hired on Anne's and Calico Jack's ship. Anne noticed the new man - who, however, on closer examination revealed that he was also a woman: Mary Read. The two women and Calico Jack were now cruising, plundering and murdering the Caribbean and were notorious and feared as a team. The prehistory of Mary Read is more ambiguous. It is certain that she was born in London in 1685 and died of a fever in 1721/1722. Whether she hired in New Providence or - as you can find too - on a Dutch slave ship hijacked by Calico Jack and then taken as a pirate in Calico's crew is unclear.

Rum and More, Postweg 9, 86925 Fuchtsal-Leeder,

Calico Jack Rackham - born December 21, 1682 in Bristol, England, died 17 November 1720 in Santiago de la Vega, Jamaica - was an 18th century pirate captain. His name was derived from the colorful calico clothing he wore. Nowadays, he is well-known for his crew, including the two most famous female pirates: Anne Bonny, with whom he also had two children, and Mary Read. Anne Bonny was the daughter of an Irishman, who emigrated to the USA and became a rich plantation owner. Since Anne was too bored of plantation life, she moved to the nearby Charleston harbor. In Charleston Anne met James Bonny, a penniless adventurer and sailor whom she married. Together with her husband she embarked in New Providence (today's Nassau). This city was considered the capital of the pirates. Here she met Calico Jack Rackham, who was supposed to have invented the pirate flag Jolly Roger, left her husband and hired on Calico Jack's ship. Because women were not welcome on board pirate ships, she dressed as a man. Later in New Providence, a new man, Mark Read, hired on Anne's and Calico Jack's ship. Anne noticed the new man - who, however, on closer examination revealed that he was also a woman: Mary Read.

The two women and Calico Jack were now cruising, plundering and murdering the Caribbean and were notorious and feared as a team. The prehistory of Mary Read is more ambiguous. It is certain that she was born in London in 1685 and died of a fever in 1721/1722. Whether she hired in New Providence or - as you can find too - on a Dutch slave ship hijacked by Calico Jack and then taken as a pirate in Calico's crew is unclear. In 1720, Rackham's ship, the "Revenge," was attacked by an English warship. By this time, they were in Jamaica. The ship crew - apart from the two women - was drunk and hid under deck. Anne Bonny and Mary Read fought alone. Their resistance did not last long. When the other pirates came on deck, Mary shot in anger and killed one of the crew.
