An excellent dram, a worthy "2013 edition" successor. Not cheap, but the whole package (the story, fairtransport and flavour) justifies the price.

About
Details

The zero CO2 emission Fairtransport Rum.

We're extremely proud that we can introduce this fantastic Rum, again, for a third year running.

Here's the story. Every year a bunch of crazy Europeans sail the Tres Hombres Rum-runner to the Caribbean, where they load a new stock of tongue-picked premium Rum and take it back on a 2-month voyage over the stormy North Atlantic to bring it to Europe — to the port of Amsterdam, where they are awaited by thirsty Rumminados. And us.

This 2014 Edition Tres Hombres is the 5th edition, matured for 18 years in American oak barrels, using the Solera method (provided by Oliver & Oliver) letting the specific Caribbean climate contribute to its smoothness. There's only a 4569 bottles available of this collector’s item. Tres Hombres is the first and only authentic Rum-runner to exist in this millennium.
