About Holmes Cay Jamaica EMB 2014 Single Cask Rum
Holmes Cay is an independent bottling company from New York City that was founded in 2019 by Eric Kaye. Passionately standing behind the tradition and honor that is an integral part of rum, Kaye brings incredible as-of-yet-unknown unadulterated cask-strength rums to the US, introducing spirit lovers to the best-kept secrets of the rum world. Holmes Cay Jamaica EMB was distilled at the Claredon Distillery (now a part of National Rums of Jamaica) in 2014. Made with a molasses base and employing open fermentation and pot distillation, the Jamaican rum spent 8 years in Jamaica, maturing in ex-bourbon casks. The 3 barrels were bottled individually at 122 proof at Holmes Cay in New York State. The expression opens with a tropical and peppery nose, followed by fruit and clove on the palate leading to a leathery finish with baking spices.Get your bottle of this limited-edition cask strength 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.
We distinguish between 4 different Rum categories, where white or unaged rum is mainly used in cocktails, while dark, spiced, and añejo (aged) rum are mostly enjoyed neat.
