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.

Feast yer eyes on the wondrous Jamaica EMB 2014 Single Cask Rum, a treasure from the Clarendon Distillery in Jamaica. This medium-ester, all-molasses beauty is open-air fermented and distilled on a pot still, then aged to perfection in ex-Bourbon barrels under the tropical sun before being bottled in the Empire State. This 8YO delivers the notes of tropical fruit and clove, topped with a sprinkle of leather and baking spice — all without any additional sugar, color, or flavors. At a mighty 61% ABV, it might need a splash of water to crack it open and reveal its full potential. Only 3 casks of this Rum will see the light of day in 2022, so hoist the anchor and set sail for the nearest bottle!
