History,
Holmes Cay Rum is releasing two of the world’s rarest single cask rum selections for the holiday season.
The Fiji 2001 21 Year rum is the oldest Fiji rum ever released. It is an all molasses, 100% pot still rum, produced at the only rum distillery in Fiji, South Pacific Distilleries. It was tropically aged for 2 years in an ex-bourbon cask, then spent an additional 19 years in an ex-bourbon cask in the UK. It was then bottled in New York State at full barrel proof, or 53.8% alcohol by volume.
The Barbados 2002 Pot Still edition is one of the rarest bottlings of distillate from Foursquare Rum Distillery in the world, as it is a single cask, pure pot still mark. Distilled in Barbados and placed in an American oak ex-bourbon cask, it then spent 20 years aging in the UK. This edition is bottled at full barrel proof, or 51.1% alcohol by volume.
Holmes Cay Rum founder Eric Kaye said, “Casks like the Fiji 2001 and Barbados 2002 Pot Still are each exciting and historic taste opportunities that are almost never available. Widening awareness of and access to such exceptional rums is one the reasons we founded Holmes Cay. One cask of each, fewer than 200 bottles of each expression, has been bottled.”
Tasting Notes,
Brown sugar and vanilla custard give way to a medium length finish of tobacco and oak.
