The Antigua Distillery, Ltd.
“English Harbour Reserve”
10-Year Antigua Rum
~~~~~~~~~~~
Cooked in one of the very few all-copper three-column continuous stills operating in the Caribbean then aged in ex-Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey barrels for over a decade, with contributions from barrels aged 25 years, the profile of this Rum is shockingly smooth, wonderfully familiar and just a little bit indulgent.
Notes of butter toffee popcorn, singed orange peel, coconut crème brûlée, walnut, and baked pear spiced with nutmeg and cardamom are all here.
Bottled at a standard 40% ABV, this bottling doesn't overwhelm when sipped neat: it excels. It also will help you make a killer Rum Old Fashioned.
Looking online we found 23 listings ranging from $53 to $160. At the low end of that range, this delicious Rum offers some real value. At today's beats-the-best-listing-by-47% price, this is the by far the best Rum deal you'll come across in a VERY long time!
Quantity is limited to what we have on hand, so click now to bring home a few year supply of the islands. Once this is gone, it is gone for good!

Plus a Nearly-As-Hot Deal on Single Malt Rye, and the
"Pappy of Rum" from Richard Seale!
Quincy Street Distillery "Steamship"
Bottled-in-Bond Illinois Single Malt Rye
~~~~~~~~~~~
Championing local ingredients and dancing to their own drum, the charming and well-
regarded Quincy Street Distillery crafts an inventive range of spirits at their home in Riverside, Illinois. Owner Derrick C. Mancini is a retired physicist from the Argonne National Laboratory. After that, making booze must come easy!
While many younger distilleries have luck in the realm of un-aged vodka and gin, we've tasted more than a few grim examples of "craft" whiskeys which are barely aged and accelerate the gain of color through additives or unnaturally small barrels. We find it deeply impressive that Quincy Street puts together an honest-to-goodness bottled-in-bond Whiskey, the first in Illinois!
This official designation ensures in-house distillation and aging without shortcuts, with aging for four years before bottling at a robust 100 proof. The grain in question is 100% malted rye. We love the backbone, sassy spice and complexity that rye gives, and this one is outstanding. Featuring notes of cherry tobacco, caramel apple, cinnamon, mint, iodine and green peppercorn, it is wonderfully spicy and shockingly long. Perfect for a Sazerac or a robust Manhattan, we love sliding Rye in anytime Bourbon comes across a little too soft or sweet.
The distillery suggests this craft product at $76. We see two merchants, both in Illinois, selling it for $54 and $65. We’re slicing a full $43 off the distillery price and blowing out our limited supply to a few lucky and quick-on-the-draw Whiskey lovers!

Foursquare "Convocation - Mark XXVIII"
Single Blended Barbados Rum
~~~~~~~~~~~
Part of their Exceptional Cask Selection series, it is liquid gold unobtanium like this hyper-limited release of “Convocation” that is the backbone of the “Pappy of Rum” adulation received by Richard Seale and Foursquare team.
From a trio of 14-year-old barrels carefully chosen by Richard Seale from his home distillery, produced from both their double-retort pot still and continuous twin column Coffey still, this is the 28th release in his Convocation series and one of the highest regarded ever.
"To drink Foursquare Rum, one must only possess a dream of tasting some of the finest things that money can buy."
- Warren Bobrow, Forbes
Time stops a little when you taste this. Bottled at 124, an impactful proof, you’ll ask yourself how it can be so easy and so delicate to sip. Heaps of molten raspberry, English toffee, roasted pineapple, German chocolate, banana, blood orange zest, golden raisins, macadamia oil, prunes, cocoa, ancho chili and black pepper flavors mask the alcohol impossibly well. It is an extraordinary beverage.
Unlike Pappy, this special Rum is priced within the reach of mortals. That's even more impressive when you consider the huge evaporation rate in Barbados, and how incredibly low the final yield is of this 14-YEAR-OLD distillate, which began life back in 2010.
Only a few bottles available.
