This latest single cask expression from Holmes Cay was distilled at a historic 228-year-old estate in Venezuela’s Aragua valley that, for legal reasons, independent bottlers may not disclose by name. Instead, the distillery is connoted by the moniker, “Destileria Sofa.” Aged entirely in its country of origin, this is the highest-proof bottling to date released in the US from this distillery.

"This single cask rum has a honey hue and toasted almond scent. The relatively dry palate mixes lively coconut and cooked banana with oak. The lightly nutty finish sparkles with brisk cinnamon tingle. Distilled in 2007 and aged in ex-bourbon barrels for 15 years. 95 points. — K.N."
