Perennia Caroni 27 yr Trinidad Rum – 375ml
$275.00
THE LEGEND: The king of lost rum distilleries, Trinidad’s Caroni Distillery quietly produced its last drops in 2002 before its tragic dismantling – only to rise again as most iconic cult rum of our time. Caroni was our gateway to the rum-verse and a royal pain to get in the US, so we’re ecstatic to present the first Caroni release by an American independent bottler.
THE RUM: While many “super heavy” Caronis have the notorious notes of burnt rubber, pungent diesel and old leather amped up to 11, we sought out a more elegant cask with notes of luscious fruits, dark caramel & fragrant tobacco to balance all its intrinsic industrial ferocity. We hope you’ll treasure the history and sensory journey of Perennia as much as we do!

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.
