It’s not just a Rum, it’s a journey.

Gazing upon the Holmes Cay (pronounced ‘key') Rum collection is like looking at a high-end art exhibit — only better, because last we heard, you can't exactly sip on a Picasso. What you can do, is savor a sip of HC’s heavenly small-batch, limited-edition Rums. Eric Kaye and Maura Gedid, the husband and wife duo behind the brand, work like expert curators — scouring the seas for the best Rums from both expected and unexpected places. Their collection offers a variety of flavors that got crafted with the utmost skill and care, including their Single Cask selections that got aged in casks and Single Origin editions that are younger single expressions or blends. Right now, they've got 10 different countries' Rums up for grabs, but blink, and you might miss 'em!

The Holmes Cay Australia Beenleigh 2012 Single Cask Rum exhibits a serious case of wanderlust — distilled in the land down under, it spent 6 years maturing in American oak before jetting off to the UK for another 4 years of ex-Bourbon barrel fun. Finally, it made it to the Big Apple, where it got bottled at a potent 61% ABV. This all-molasses, 100% pot still Rum is not for the faint of heart — we recommend you grace it with a splash of water to unlock its unique complexity. The flavorful experience takes you through hints of vanilla on the nose, a swirl of fruity goodness, and mint on the palate, rounding off the journey with a perfect interplay of oak and mineral notes.

Rum is why we measure alcohol proof. To make sure Rum wasn’t watered down, it had to be ‘proven’ by soaking gunpowder with it. If it was ‘overproof’ (higher than 57.15 % vol.), then the gunpowder would ignite, but if it wouldn’t, it was ‘underproof.’
Common Rum classifications: White, Golden or Amber, Dark, Spiced, Añejo and Age-Dated Rums.
Rum used to be accepted as a form of currency in Europe and Australia, a practice we should probably bring back into fashion.

Next time you have a tipple of Rum you can say that you're tapping the Admiral. This intriguing phrase comes from the great Admiral Nelson who was killed in the battle of Trafalgar off of Spain. The story is that his body was preserved in Rum to be shipped back to England but, when the barrel arrived, some of the Rum was missing and said to have been siphoned off by some desperate or unknowing sailors. It's a great story but most likely false.
Mount Gay Rum is the oldest existing Rum company in the World dating back to 1705. This is also the year Guy Fawkes tried to blow up Britain’s Parliament.
