Hamilton Jamaican Pot Still Black Rum
Hamilton
Hamilton Jamaican Pot Still Black is a masterclass in how charring and heavy pot still distillation leave indelible marks on a spirit. It punches far above its price point, delivering complexity and depth that rival rums at three times the cost. A workhorse that is equally compelling sipped neat or as the backbone of a serious cocktail.
Cihuatán Sahumerio Limited Edition Rum
Cihuatán
Sahumerio is Cihuatán's most ambitious expression—a rum that captures the meditative warmth of incense and firelight in liquid form. Its layered complexity and higher proof make it a contemplative sipper that rewards patience and speaks volumes before words do. A genuinely distinctive Central American aged rum that deserves wider recognition.
St. George California Agricole Rum
St. George Spirits
St. George California Agricole is a masterclass in restraint — a rum that finds its voice by stripping away everything unnecessary and letting fresh California sugarcane speak for itself. It demonstrates that constraint in production yields extraordinary clarity of flavor. A singular American expression that stands proudly alongside the finest rhum agricole blancs of the Caribbean.
El Amparo Rum
El Amparo
El Amparo is a quiet revelation — a Venezuelan rum that rewards patience and the simple act of letting the glass breathe. Its interplay of sweet and dry, tropical and earthy, makes it an ideal contemplative sipper that perfectly embodies how air shapes everything between barrel and glass.
