Captain Calico Jack and his
famous female crew members -
Anne Bonny and Mary Read
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.

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.
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.
