Rum / Rhum

STONEWALL USA, PENNSYLVANIA American Rum #268289 / 750ml / $21.99

TROIS RIVIÈRES MARTINIQUE Trois Rivières gets its name from the three rivers; Bois d’Inde, Oman and St. Pierre, which border the original estate which was first established by Nicolas Fouquet, The Superintendent of King Louis XIV in 1660. The Plantation, in the far South of Martinique, benefits from an exceptional geographic location that gives the rhums their character and rich flavor. Cuvée de L’Ocean H 84pf #526008 / 750ml / $30.99 Trois Rivières Cuvée del’Océan has the unique characteristic of having been developed solely from the juice of sugarcane raised on the water front of the sunny plot of Anse Trabaud, located in the extreme south of Martinique. This geographical location, together with fermentation techniques specially designed by the Master Blender, give this rum a unique taste that is primarily characterized by amazing brinish, mineral notes. Perfect for cocktails, it can also be enjoyed neat. You will be amazed at how well it pairs with seafood and shellfish. Cuvée du Moulin H 80pf #117751 / 750ml / $44.99 Trois Rivières “Cuvée du Moulin” is a blend of rums carefully matured for over three years in ex Cognac and Bourbon casks. This is an excellent introduction to those who wish to discover the qualities of an excellent “Rhum Vieux Agricole”. Delightfully full flavored and spicy, but with a fruity core that keeps everything fresh. Reserve Speciale VSOP H 80pf #111459 / 750ml / $54.99 Among the Trois Rivières rum collection, VSOP Réserve Spéciale is especially appealing. Though faithful to the Trois Rivières style, the perfect smoothness and delicate fullness of this rum make it outstanding. Trois Rivières VSOP is the result of a harmonious blend of rums aged for an average of 5 years. A sweet and fruity nose contrasts with an earthy and spicy palate: complex and worth careful consideration. This can be enjoyed neat or is delicious in an Old Fashioned. Rhum Ambré 80pf #701244 / 750ml / $31.67 In agreement with the strict rules of AOC regulations, Trois Rivières Rhum Ambré (aged in oak) matures between 12 and 18 months in the finest quality French oak tons, under the watchful care of our Cellar Master. These few months maturing in oak confers this rum its superb bright golden color and develops its particularly mellow and remarkable flavors: a medley of honey, caramel and sweetbread. Trois Rivières Ambré is excellent sipping rum, but can equally be enjoyed mixed. Rhum Blanc Agricole 100pf #726402 / 750ml / $29.99 A classic high proof white rum that epitomizes the extent of Trois Rivières’ know-how as well as their respect for tradition and AOC standards. This over-proof white rum is surprisingly clean and balanced and outstandingly aromatic. Processed at 50% A.B.V., Trois Rivières Rhum Blanc Agricole is a must. Enjoy it in a Ti Punch cocktail with sugar cane syrup and lime, a classic Mai Tai, or in a more innovative way, mixed with tonic and a lime twist.

Stonewall Rum is named for the fences that separated properties in the early U.S. colonies. It’s as classic a colonial rum as the distillers could get: Molasses-based and lightly oaked, the aroma has notes of honey and ginger ale, while butterscotch and soft wood are noticeable when drinking. The rum is distilled in small batches, so availability is limited. From the distillers of Boyd & Blair Vodka. “Very Good/Strong Recommendation” Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2016
