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.
THE RUM:
Calgary’s Romero Distillery produces uniquely Canadian rum with Canadian molasses, glacier fed water and the extreme “Chinook” winds subjecting their casks to massive swings in pressure and temperature. This special bottling received extra-long aging in genuine Jerez sherry casks resulting in a succulently rich and silky rum with notes of dark fruit, burnt caramel and soft tannins.

Kinnara 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 “male” cask? He has a strong lingering oaky finish while his sibling “female cask” opens beautifully with lush, resonant floral notes.
