BP Saint Lucia Vendome 2004 21yr 54.9% ABV
$240.00
The “Pinball” series needs no introduction. Following on from the success of the Foursquare release, we decided to continue with a venerable Vendome from Saint Lucia. It was distilled in 2004 with two years aged at origin, before being shipped to the UK for further maturation in an ex-rum cask. A fantastic demonstration of the Saint Lucia spirit and the beauty that comes with the patience of a longer maturation, we know this will be a sought after bottling and we are excited to share it with you.
The label from James Tuer shows the Vendome still, the iconic Pitons and a few other beautiful nuances for you to explore.
This single barrel rum is non-chill filtered with no additives, yielding 178 bottles at a cask strength of 54.9% ABV.

Burning Cane (15 yr Barbados Foursquare)
$49.99We jumped all over this cask instantly – currently there isn’t a hotter distillery in rum than Foursquare and its hype as “The Pappy Van Winkle of rum” is fully deserved: Powerful and multi-dimensional yet very approachable, even for rum newbies. Some single cask Foursquares trade for four figures … but our Burning Cane gets you cask strength world class juice at an impressive 15 years of aging for less than $50. At the time of this bottle’s release we compared this to Foursqaure’s vaunted Exceptional Cask Series – it would have ranked #1 for highest ABV and #3 for longest aging.
Cask strength Foursquare of this age can be a seductive gateway to fine rum, with fragrant summer fruit notes to grab cognac aficionados & the caramel intensity and oaky backbone to pull in whiskey fans. This cask’s luscious kettle corn opening evolves to a prolonged tree bark and gingerbread cookie finish.
