151 Rum

sporedude

Does anyone know the legal status on brining 151 rum into the uk from holiday? Either Bacardi or Brugal brand. The alcohol content is 75.5% (A little high I know), But I just wanted to know if it was illegal to bring it into the UK.


Thanks much.

Thanks much.

I wouldn't have thought the abv made much difference. Since you can buy ethanol here which is 100% albeit not drinkable.

I'm not aware of it being illegal. Hopefully someone else will be along in a bit to let us have their thoughts.

It is illegal to take it on the plane - so unless you are coming home by ship then yes it is illegal!

You can buy the stuff here so theres no reason it would be illegal, there is no importation offence in bringing the stuff in.

Thanks for the help, Didnt think there would be, Just thought I'd ask.
