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!
AGING: 12 yrs in Trinidad, 15 years UK Distilled in 1997, Bottled 2025
PRODUCTION: Molasses in Column Still No Additives
STRENGTH: 58% Cask Strength ABV Add water blasphemously!

Yowie Strikes Back – Australia 17 yr Rum
$65.00
Imagine that we sent the original Yowie to charm school and he returned one year older and 1% ABV stronger, still featuring the pre-2010 S. Pombe yeast trademark notes of floral eucalyptus and apricot but with new refined flavors of wild honey, white pepper and a dry matchstick finish. He’s more balanced, but still a BEAST! -
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.
