Who are the current distributors for major rum brands in the UK?
Based on community knowledge, **Campari** is the UK distributor for Wrey and Nephew rum. This is the specific distribution arrangement members confirmed in recent discussion. For other major rum brands, members did not provide detailed distributor information in the available discussion.
What are the main bulk rum suppliers that can provide spirits in IBCs and tanker quantities?
Members recommended a small number of tested suppliers for bulk rum: - **Sheer's** (Holland) — described as "the best" and already in use by multiple members as their primary supplier - **Diamonds Distillers Ltd (DDL)** (Guyana) — bulk distill spirits for numerous clients; members suggest buying direct from them. Contact details available on request from community members. - **Distribucions Túnel** (https://distribucionstunel.com/distribucions-tunel-home/) — mentioned as a potential option worth investigating - **Marqt** (Amsterdam) — one member sought an introduction here, though specifics on their bulk offerings weren't detailed in discussion Members noted that Sheer's is their current go-to, with at least one member actively seeking backup options. For introductions to contacts at DDL or other suppliers, members are willing to make direct introductions via DM.
