BP New Yarmouth 2019 5yr 69% ABV
$100.00
Located in Clarendon Parish, New Yarmouth’s spirit epitomizes the unique characteristics of Jamaican rums, in the same vein as Monymusk, Clarendon and Long Pond. The long fermentations, yeast selection and resulting esters create a fruity, bold and punchy spirit that is rich with flavour, although historically its stock has been used as a component in different blends. With more blends than individual bottlings, and those individual bottlings long gone, New Yarmouth remains a rare offering.
This selection was discovered during a group tasting session with friends, which you’ll see us post about from time to time. When we get together to taste samples it’s always an adventure in the good, the bad, and the ones where you know you have a winner as soon as the first drop hits your lips. Even as a five-year-old rum, this New Yarmouth, Hugh Murdoch marque, distilled in 2019 and with a full continental maturation, was an instant hit. The liquid had flavour far beyond its years and it was a true moment of wonderful surprise.
Alexander Perkins took the Stargazing theme to heart for this piece, creating a whimsical label that also reflects our own feelings when tasting this rum. The evolution of our labels is something we enjoy watching as much as the evolution of our casks. With a theme like “Stargazing” we were excited to see what the talented artists we work with would produce and both the label and rum came together perfectly.
This single barrel rum is non-chill filtered with no additives, yielding 240 bottles at a cask strength of 69.0% ABV.
Artist: Alexander Perkins

Kyrië II – Netherlands Cane Juice Rum
$40.00KYRÏE II is from the same batch as the original Kyrïe, but with an additional 3 months of aging in a rum cask. Our original plan was for a longer aging but Kyrïe I was so popular & sold out so quickly we caved in and bottled the last of the Kyrïe that you’re holding in your hands! To be honest it’s not wildly different than the original Kyrïe, just a bit fuller and rounder in its mouthfeel. It’s still for fearless funky cane juice addicts only, Kyrië is searingly pungent with savory lemongrass notes & a graceful finish of confectioner’s sugar

$45.00Over 250 yrs old, Diamond Distillery’s legendary Versailles still is one of only two wooden pot stills in existence (FIRE & WOOD aren’t a formula for longevity?!?) and this bottle is a classic example of its intoxicatingly pungent notes of raisin syrup, birdseed, mocha, charred banana, black tea and ozone.

Whistler 14 yr Venezuela Rum
$45.00We think of this as the “Everything Bagel” of rums. It’s a sumptuous smorgasbord that checks a wild variety of flavors: Sea salt caramel, bitter mocha, baking spices, toasted oak, a little citrus zing, a touch of funky petrol.
