Mount Gay Distilleries Ltd
Barbados
This rum hails from what many consider to be the birthplace of rum, Barbados. A small island that boasts THE oldest brand label of the Caribbean beverage. Mount Gay Rum’s heritage trails back over 300 years to 1703.
Aged in Kentucky oak barrels, Mount Gay’s Extra Old’s spicy caramel and burnt sugar mouth sticks around between sips. A rich nose of banana with hints of burnt sugar helps to make this a rum that could easily be drunk all day long … and, for that matter, so could we ... |

Tequila Cuervo La Rojena
Everyone has a spirit they just don’t touch. Jose Cuervo is mine. Since one fateful night many years ago, I haven’t found a Cuervo I could stand ... until now, that is. Definitely not a shot liquor, this Tequila gave off an almost whiskey-like aroma resounding with heavy caramel and bourbon oak notes. The aroma continued into its taste, differing only with its subtle hints of agave interrupting its whiskey-like oratory. This Tequila refused to quit, coating our mouths with its bold flavor and leaving us with a sweet aftertaste that kept us reaching for more.

 La Cofradia, S.A. DE C.V.
We were pleased by the salty caramel mixed with wood and hints of agave in the aroma that drifted up from the Caliende Añejo. More agave-forward on the palate than most Añejos, this Tequila has a sweet, slightly tangy, fresh flavor with hints of oak and licorice. This Tequila is certainly worth a look, especially if you prefer a more agave forward añejo.

 Dos Lunas
Waving a glass of the Dos Lunas silver under our noses revealed a strong buttery aroma with hints of grass wafting in the background. It hit our tongues with an explosion of big flavor, starting with a sweet introduction and transitioning into a spicy cocoa that lingered in our mouths. Overall, a complex but subtle Tequila that struck us as light and delicious.
