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.

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! -

Vividly aromatic and pungent, this Grand Arôme Rum from Le Galion Distillery is not for the weak! Its long vinasse-powered fermentation creates prodigious amounts of ester flavor compounds and notes of wild tropical fruits, black olives, candied prunes and salted almonds. Beware the power of this unadulterated Grand Arôme! -
Kinnaree 9 yr Thailand Rum
$40.00We’re excited to be one of the very first IBs to release a rum from Thailand. While most of their domestic releases are heavily sweetened, we were so thrilled that their unadulterated distillate is wonderful stuff (at a reasonable price!) that we bought two casks. We’ve always wanted a quality “gateway” rum that was instantly accessible to rum newbies but still had the complexity and stamina to impress jaded rum aficionados. We were thrilled to find this rum in Thailand, a new country for most rum drinkers.
Why is this the “female” cask? She opens beautifully with lush, resonant floral notes while its sibling “male” cask has a strong lingering oaky finish.
