With only 4 casks released in 2022, you better Rum and grab it!

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 are crafted with the utmost skill and care, including Single Cask selections that aged in cask 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 Belize 2006 16 Year Old Single Cask Rum is one marvelous specimen from the Travellers Liquors Distillery, located in, yeah, you guessed it, Belize. Made from all molasses and distilled in a manually operated column still, the liquid aged exclusively in ex-Bourbon casks for 16 long years. Naturally, it developed an immensely complex and fruity flavor profile brimming with rich caramel, stone fruit, and cacao. Naturally, with no additives. Bottled at full proof (61% ABV) and with only 4 casks released in 2022, this is a limited edition Rum that will have the collectors clambering for a taste. Splash it with a drop of water for a full-on flavor confrontation… if you dare.

A little bit of etymology; nobody really knows where the word Rum comes from. The most popular suggestions are Rum (the Romani word for 'potent'), Rumbullion (an uproar), Saccharum (sugar in Latin), and Rummer (a Dutch drinking glass).
Rum (usually) comes from molasses, the sweet and syrupy residue of refining sugarcane into sugar. Molasses is over 50% sugar, but it also contains significant amounts of minerals and other trace elements, contributing to the final flavor.
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.
Rum used to be accepted as a form of currency in Europe and Australia, a practice we should probably bring back into fashion.
Rum is a sugar cane based spirit, primarily made in the Caribbean and Latin America, but you can really find Rum in many corners of the world.
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.
