Pelée’s Fury II Rum Finish – Martinique Grand Arôme Rum
$40.00
THE LEGEND: Mount Pelée’s pyroclastic eruption in 1902 resulted in over 30,000 casualties … and 30,000 tiki cocktails!
THE RUM: This sequel to our original Grand Arôme Rum from Le Galion Distillery spent 10 mo. in a Barbados rum cask, adding additional dimensions of toffee and spice flavors to the base notes of wild tropical fruits, black olives, candied prunes and salted almonds. Grand Arôme’s long vinasse-powered fermentation creates prodigious amounts of ester flavor compounds that are NOT for the weak!

H20: We suggest adding water generously
ORIGINAL ART BY: Razigla and Cait Springer

Kyrië II – Netherlands Cane Juice Rum
$40.00KYRÏE II is from the same batch as the original Kyrïe, but with an additional 3 months of aging in a rum cask. Our original plan was for a longer aging but Kyrïe I was so popular & sold out so quickly we caved in and bottled the last of the Kyrïe that you’re holding in your hands! To be honest it’s not wildly different than the original Kyrïe, just a bit fuller and rounder in its mouthfeel. It’s still for fearless funky cane juice addicts only, Kyrië is searingly pungent with savory lemongrass notes & a graceful finish of confectioner’s sugar

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.

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.
