Paranubes Rum Oaxaca Añejo 750ml / 106PF Classic Paranubes flavor with an added layer of complexity that really broadens the sipping experience. The nose is buttery and quite vegetal with beets and stewed tomatoes. On the palate, agave and cane flavors become a little more identifiable with a rich wave of black peppercorn and clove underneath. The finish starts with dried berry on vegetal notes and caramel before giving way to long-lasting peppercorn and clove. PROVIDENCE CARIBBEAN, HAITI Opened in 2018, Distillerie de Port-au-Prince is the newest rum distillery in the Caribbean. A collaboration between the Barbancourt-Linge family (of the famed Barbancourt rum dynasty) and La Maison & Velier, the fruit of this partnership is Providence rum, rediscovering methods and techniques used by the Barbancourt Distillery from 1870 to 1946. Providence Dunder & Syrup 750ml / 114PF Based on traditional methods: it is produced from syrup and Cristalline cane juice. The sugar cane comes from Michel Sajous, in Saint-Michel de l’Attalaye. Fermentation is carried out using selected yeasts and dunder from previous distillations, allowing for the development of a particular aromatic complexity. The must obtained after fermentation is distilled in two stages in a copper still, heated in a water bath, designed by the boilermaker Müller. Founded in 1785 on the northeast coast of Grenada, River Antoine Estate has produced one of most legendary rums in the Caribbean. Rivers Rum is made in very limited quantities with ancient and completely natural processes. Historically, it has been sold on the island only and never-before exported. Rivers Rum River Antoine Estate 700ml / 138PF Stylistically, this is similar to Martinique’s Rhum Agricole, though the pot distillation to above 75% abv sets it apart. Shows notes of pineapple juice, banana, blackcurrant, and summer berries, followed by a hint of sour milk and tart gooseberry. The grassiness and brine of a classic cane juice rum is present, fighting with an almost herbal savory-ness. RIVERS GRENADA LIMITED AVAILABILITY
