Here’s a new list of upcoming rum releases for the US market compiled from TTB label certifications approved in October 2024. These are only label approvals recorded at the US TTB, so none of these are likely to be available yet and it’s anyone’s guess when they might appear in stores.
This doesn’t include every rum label approval, I’ve tried to triage the approvals to the brands that people would recognize, while also including other labels that might be interesting but excluding spiced/flavored products and most cachacas.
The TTB approved 107 rum labels in total this month, 45 are covered here.
This month’s highlights include: Three new Foursquare releases, two from Dead Reckoning (one from Vanuatu), Trinidad rums bottled by Blackadder and Raising Glasses, more casks from Alambique Serrano, a new Charanda, and several Clairins.

Viamundi Artesanal Charanda de la Familia, Approved 16 October 2024.
Noel Blanc, Approved 16 October 2024.

Old Monk 20 Amber, Approved 4 October 2024.
Old Monk is apparently trying an old trick from the Zacapa and Flor de Cana playbook with the large “20” on the front label. I assume this is an attempt at a solera or vatting system where a small amount of 20 year old rum is added., but the label doesn’t give any detail.
