Filumena – Canada Sherry Cask Rum

THE LEGEND:
In 1920’s Canada the young immigrant Filumena Lassandro worked for “Emperor Pic”, a colorful rum runner smuggling bottles through Alberta’s Crowsnest Pass. A fateful encounter led to a fatal shooting of a policeman and Filumena confessed, believing that a woman would receive leniency from the courts. Despite a worldwide outcry for clemency Filumena was hanged in 1923, the only woman ever to be executed in Alberta.
