BP Savanna HERR 2019 5yr 67.7% ABV
$125.00
This rum from the island of Réunion will intrigue any rum drinker. Not your typical offering from this distillery, this rum was distilled in 2019 and moved to Europe in 2020 to mature in a once used bourbon barrel until bottling, we found that although everyone who tried a sample gave different tasting notes, everyone agreed that this was an outstanding rum from nose to palate to finish. While we cannot disclose the distillery, we think you will be able to figure out this high ester Réunion rum pretty quickly.
This label, entitled “Wildlight”, is a photograph by Joanne Robertson, a London-based photographer passionate about safari travel and wildlife photography, that we knew had to be part of our Stargazing series. The talent of the photographer and the beauty of the photo, showing the Milky Way galaxy from the Makanyi Lodge in South Africa, speaks for itself. Jo is also one of the kindest and smartest people we know so we wish her the best of luck (and fun) in her future photography adventures.
This single barrel rum is non-chill filtered with no additives, yielding 255 bottles at a cask strength of 67.7% 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.
