When someone asks us for holiday gift suggestions, I’m sure you’ll forgive us if we say something like, “Ho Ho Ho…and a bottle rum.” After all, December seems like the perfect time to splurge on a special bottle. Here are three suggestions to surprise and satisfy the rum lover in your life.

 

CHAIRMAN’S RESERVE THE FORGOTTEN CASKS.

This limited-release pays homage to the special casks that were discovered after the historic fire at St. Lucia Distillers in 2007. Aged between six and 12 years in ex-bourbon barrels, the intense nose of dried fruit, tobacco, honey and a warm palate of grilled tropical fruit and candied walnuts is a perfect mid-winter sipper.

 

Rhum J.M 15-YEAR VINTAGE 1995

For the rum lover whom is impressed by age, it doesn’t get any better than this. Possibly the finest cask-strength aged rhum in the world, the many layers of full-bodied flavor and aroma are accentuated by a fruity and savory palate with great structure and a long finish.

 

Rhum Clément Cuvée Homère

For someone who enjoys the very best, this unique, seamless rhum agricole is a blend of the highest rated vintage rums of the last fifteen years which have been aged in French Limousin barriques and re-charred bourbon barrels. Warm, spicy, floral, and nutty, this complex rhum exhibits different flavors and aromas every time you revisit the glass.
