Pelée’s Fury II Rum Finish – Martinique Grand Arôme Rum

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!

Burning Cane (15 yr Barbados Foursquare)
$49.99We jumped all over this cask instantly – currently there isn’t a hotter distillery in rum than Foursquare and its hype as “The Pappy Van Winkle of rum” is fully deserved: Powerful and multi-dimensional yet very approachable, even for rum newbies. Some single cask Foursquares trade for four figures … but our Burning Cane gets you cask strength world class juice at an impressive 15 years of aging for less than $50. At the time of this bottle’s release we compared this to Foursqaure’s vaunted Exceptional Cask Series – it would have ranked #1 for highest ABV and #3 for longest aging.
Cask strength Foursquare of this age can be a seductive gateway to fine rum, with fragrant summer fruit notes to grab cognac aficionados & the caramel intensity and oaky backbone to pull in whiskey fans. This cask’s luscious kettle corn opening evolves to a prolonged tree bark and gingerbread cookie finish.
