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.
