Filumena – Canada Sherry Cask Rum
$40.00
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.

STRENGTH: 58.1% ABV, add water lightly PRODUCTION: Molasses in Pot/Column Still, No Additives
ORIGINAL ART BY: Mira Hsu & Razigla

Guardians (8 yr Trinidad Rum)
$45.00OUR TAKE: Guardians is the real sleeper in this lineup – Trinidad has produced some of the greatest rum in history (RIP, Caroni!) but also puts out a lot of so-so high volume juice so we didn’t enter the selection process assuming we’d come out with a “Trini”. And while the Foursquare and the Guyana were big, bold flashy candidates, this Trinidad kept popping up, refusing to be ignored (maybe because it’s over TWO THIRDS alcohol but drinks more like a 55 percenter). We succumbed to its fruity delights with absolutely zero regrets!
