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
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
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.

famous female crew members -
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.
