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.

Yowie Strikes Back – Australia 17 yr Rum
$65.00
Imagine that we sent the original Yowie to charm school and he returned one year older and 1% ABV stronger, still featuring the pre-2010 S. Pombe yeast trademark notes of floral eucalyptus and apricot but with new refined flavors of wild honey, white pepper and a dry matchstick finish. He’s more balanced, but still a BEAST! -

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”!
