This rum is a blend of Columbian, Panamanian, and Venezuealan rums matured in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd fill ex-Bourbon casks before bottling at 58.4%.
Producer Description
"For this release the team at Casa Santana aged Rums originally sourced (unaged) from Colombia, Panama, and Venezuela, That were then matured using the Cuban Maestro Ronero approach at their facility in Barranquilla. It is a blend of first, second, third fill ex-bourbon cask matured rum, presented at 58.4%ABV, and an absolute stunner. It’s a bottle strength that might seem intimidatingly high, but is surprisingly easy across the palate, and of course, you can add a splash of water which opens and releases many more flavours. The perfect first steps into cask strength Rum. "
About The Label
"The Label: Created by Jim’ll Paint It there are so many strange things going on! We’ve already confirmed that Casa Santana is an ageing, blending house, and so I guess that’s the background sorted. The foreground... Well we might be having a play with a certain pop star that shares a name with our Casa in question. There is of course a condor in a hat, and we all know the condor is the national bird of Colombia! The Sorceress and her winning hand? Well Casa Santana is the place where a number of brands are produced, but one brand in particular is quite dear to the hearts of the team, and we promised not share that directly as we’re sworn to secrecy!

This Portugese column still rum, from the island of Madeira, distilled at the Engenhos do Norte Distillery, was bottled at 48.8%.
Producer Description
"Madeira was the most famous sugar producer in the world in the 15th and 16th century. Steam driven mills for crushing sugar cane were commonplace. Now Engenhos do Norte (North Distillery) are one of the few remaining producers in the world, and the only ones in Europe. Fermentation at the start of the cane crushing season is started with unleavened bread dough, and then maintained throughout the season ‘sourdough’ style. Distilled on 7.5m tall Barbet copper column stills, the freshly produced Agrícola da Madeira is then matured in French Oak casks."
About The Label
"Created by Jim’ll Paint It. We see some polar bears hard at work making their rum… ‘bit odd’ we hear you say. Well In the noise and heat of a steam engine fired mill room, Ouro Branco (white gold) can easily be misheard as Urso Branco, (White Bear)."

Distilled in the wooden Versailles pot stills at the Diamond Distillery in Guyana in 2002, this 16 year old rum was moved to the UK to finish its ageing in 2011. 54.3%
Producer Description
"The Versailles single wooden pot still, or vat still as it is also known is one of the historically significant Heritage Stills located at Diamond Distillery in Guyana. Looking for all the world like an upturned wooden bucket, this still has copper in all the right places and produces Rums with a distinctive flavour profile that have been parts of Rum blends for centuries. Originally located at the Versailles Estate, it was moved to Enmore in 1978, then again to Uitvlugt in 1994 when Enmore shut. Finally moving to Diamond Distillery in December 1999. This release carries the KFM production marque, and was distilled July 2002, moved to the UK in 2011 for further maturation."
About The Label
"Created By Jim’ll Paint It: Playing upon the fairly common place “What? It’s made of wood. Won’t it burn down?” reaction we get when they find out about these heritage stills, we’ve had some fun including a number of seemingly-nonsensical products (chocolate teapot anyone?). Of course rummies know that the still is really heated by steam rather than direct fire. The bearded chap is our Boutique-y Pete, and along side him you’ll find Marcus Tandy."

Bottled at 51.5%, this 6 year old pot still rum is from an undisclosed Jamaican distillery... Rumour has it, this is Worthy Park, finished in Sauternes casks!
Producer Description
"This Jamaican distillery trademarked their name a short while ago, and whilst I’m sure they wouldn’t mind me strongly hinting at its providence, the desire to build a commercial brand under its own name is a laudable decision. The distillery can be found in the Lluidas Vale, and is one of the newest most modern, yet authentic pot-still only production facilities in Jamaica; the fact that it’s also one of the few single estate – field to bottle rum producers in the world – which makes it all the more exciting. The rum for this release was three years old when shipped from Jamaica and then filled into an ex-Sauternes cask in the UK for a secondary maturation. The tropical fruit flavours of pineapple, mango and banana, work very well with the sweet fruity Sauternes cask."
About the Label
"Created by Jim’ll Paint It, this label shows the various scales of the ingredient processing from sugar cane, down to finished rum, backdropped by some rolling cane fields. The 5 large spheres you see represent Sugarcane, Demerara Sugar, Molasses, Clear and Aged rum - and are representative of the total annual output of each of these products at our top secret distillery. Can you see which is which?"
