BP Bellevue 2016 8yr 64.3% ABV
$100.00
It struck us that our first bottled agricole rum was such a success that perhaps we should continue searching for more things that would expand our horizons and tastebuds. With that in mind, we stumbled upon this beautiful rum from Distillerie Bellevue from Capesterre, Marie-Galante, Guadeloupe. Surrounded by rich, volcanic soil, the distillery is an ideal location to grow high-quality sugarcane. In fact, the distillery was originally a sugar cane factory before it began producing rum in the early 20th century. The column distillation process combined with fresh sugarcane juice creates a complex rum that, even at such a young age, has beautiful sweet and herbaceous notes. This rum, which was distilled in 2016, spent the entirety of its maturation in a once used bourbon barrel until being bottled in 2025.
A dazzling addition to the Stargazing series, “Starliner” draws from Ross Bradley’s fascination with deep space imagery – from the haunting solitude of Apollo-era photography to the vivid dreamscapes of ‘70s sci-fi vinyl covers. Artist James Tuer channels this cosmic nostalgia into a bold vision: a radiant interstellar vessel sails through a swirling nebula, framed by ringed giants and distant stars. With echoes of Treasure Planet and the golden age of space-age imagination, this label turns a bottle of rum into a window to another world.
This single barrel rum is non-chill filtered with no additives, yielding 236 bottles at a cask strength of 64.3% ABV.

Manora 9 yr Thailand Rum Blend
$35.00Asian countries speak of the half human/half bird Kinnaree and Kinnara. A famous Thai play involves “Manora”, a Kinnaree that was captured & gifted to Prince Suthon who fell in love with her. When Suthon left for war, jealous advisers convinced the King to sacrifice Manora. Manora escaped and fled to her homeland. The prince went on a quest to find his beloved & they returned to court to live happily ever after. When performed, “Manora” was often played by a male, reflective of Thailand’s historical acceptance of gender fluidity. This blend celebrates their acceptance of LGBTQ & transgender people (which includes our youngest daughter)..
Our “female” cask opens beautifully with lush, floral notes while our “male” Thai cask has a strong lingering oaky finish, making this a perfect “gender blend”!

Guardians (8 yr Trinidad Rum)
$45.00OUR TAKE: Guardians is the real sleeper in this lineup – Trinidad has produced some of the greatest rum in history (RIP, Caroni!) but also puts out a lot of so-so high volume juice so we didn’t enter the selection process assuming we’d come out with a “Trini”. And while the Foursquare and the Guyana were big, bold flashy candidates, this Trinidad kept popping up, refusing to be ignored (maybe because it’s over TWO THIRDS alcohol but drinks more like a 55 percenter). We succumbed to its fruity delights with absolutely zero regrets!
