About Holmes Cay Barbados 2012 Port Cask Rum
Barbados 2012 Port Cask comes from the Foursquare Distillery as well. Distilled in 2012, it's a molasses-based blend of column and pot still rum that was initially aged in Barbados for 8 years in ex-bourbon casks. It was then transferred into port wine casks and aged for another year in New York, bringing the total to 9 years. The expression was bottled in 2021 at 110 proof with only 5 barrels being available for the United States.Grab your bottle of this exceptional Barbados rum today!
About Holmes Cay
Holmes Cay is an independent bottling company from New York City. Founded by New Yorker rum aficionado Eric Kaye in 2019, they focus on finding the very best rums and bottling them at cask strength. Kaye used to work as a producer and music composer for film, TV, and commercials, but has also been an avid diver for decades. His favorite pastime brought him into contact with fantastic rare Caribbean rums. He felt he needed to share these with his fellow Americans, which is how Holmes Cay came to be.Passionately standing behind the tradition and honor that is an integral part of rum, Kaye hopes to bring incredible as-of-yet-unknown unadulterated cask-strength rums to the US, introducing spirit-lovers to the best-kept secrets of the rum world. Their very first release ― Holmes Cay Barbados 2005 ― fittingly came from the legendary Foursquare Distillery in Barbados.
About Rum
Rum history allegedly started in the Carribiens in the 17th century when they started to ferment and distill molasses, a byproduct of sugar production. Most of the Rum is aged in oak or ex-wine casks, giving its color and flavor.
