*FEATURED RUMS*

IMG_1513Mocamba Barrica Selecta Premium, Mexico
This throwback style of rum uses pre Hispanic aging techniques which are combined with modern aging. The bottle is an individual work of art by arist Victor Fernandez. In the mouth, the rum feels old and tastes aged; soft leathery and wood tannins give way to fresh cut cocoa bean & oolong tea with whispers of caramel sweetness.

IMG_1499Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva, Venezuela
Made from sugar cane honey, this fine rum is a blend of rums aged for up to twelve years, warm rich caramel massage your senses. At first whiff, citrus peel, followed by vanilla. All spice and toasted sugar flavors hit your tongue. The entry is lightly spiced butter.



IMG_1507Plantation Barbados Rum, France
Double aged rum born and aged in the Caribbeans hot & humid climate, transferred and finished in young bourbon casks in Cognac Ferrand’s chateau de Bonbonnet. Its superior quality is evident on the nose, which is creamy and rich with a butterscotch-like character. On the palate the spirit is very complex. Notes as varied as coconut, vanilla, orange peel, cinnamon, banana, and warm tobacco are evident, and they linger for quite some time in a warm finish.
