Papilio Hampden 6yr CH (500ml) 67.6% ABV (bottled by Nobilis for Raising Glasses)
$96.00
We always said we’d never bottle a Jamaican because our fellow US indie bottlers were releasing spectacular Jamaicans on the regular … until Nobilis (of Denmark) offered us this beauty! The rare Hampden C<>H marque boasts the 2nd highest ester (below only the notorious DOK marque) and is usually so powerfully pungent and aromatic that it can be more work than pleasure to drink.
Our Papilio bottling is an surprisingly drinkable C<>H – still packed with explosive fruit and funk but deliciously balanced with a hint of fragrant sweetness – and it comes in the perfect “Goldilocks” size of 500 ml (not too big, not too small … just right!), which we believe to be the first ever 500ml bottling by a US indie.
The Jamaican swallowtail butterfly is the largest butterfly in the Western hemisphere so it would be great if we had put it on the label … but we unknowingly sent a photo of the Giant AFRICAN swallowtail to our artist Razigla. Oh well, we never claimed to be entomologists!

Whistler 14 yr Venezuela Rum
$45.00We think of this as the “Everything Bagel” of rums. It’s a sumptuous smorgasbord that checks a wild variety of flavors: Sea salt caramel, bitter mocha, baking spices, toasted oak, a little citrus zing, a touch of funky petrol.
