The wormwood sensation, although dominated by the anise and fennel, builds gently in the mouth with each sip

Cardenal Mendoza Brandy De Jerez

10.00

Chestnut-hued brandies with a deep, burnished fruitiness. Brandy de Jerez is generally a sweeter spirit than Cognac or Armagnac

Rums

Zafra 21 Year- Panama

14.00

Dark Aromas of dried tropical citrus fruits, hints of melted toffee and vanilla. A long cascade of intriguing smoky sweet tobacco filled with spiced cocoa cake

Zacapa Centenario 23- Guatemala

13.00

Round and sensual. All that time in oak barrels gives it not only a soft creaminess, but also strong hints of rancio- the character you get in fine old cognac

Dos Madera 5+3 - Guyana 5 Years and Spain for 3 Years

12.00

The entry is filled with the sugar cane flavors, but the mid-palate and finish are loaded with rich vanilla and caramel

Santa Teresa- Solara- Venezuela

15.00

Real depth of woody and nutty flavors followed by a long, rich finish

Diplomatico Rsv- Venezuela

14.00

Very sweet and round, possessing a velvety body that coats your mouth nicely. There are notes of toffee, honey and hints of wood and cognac like fruitiness

Ron Abuelo Anejo 12 Year- Panama

10.00

Vanilla, toffee and baked fruit in the body lead to a smooth, dry, smoky finish. The elegance of Panama in a bottle

Rhum Barbancourt 15 Year- Haiti

12.00

Round, rich and creamy, like old-fashioned plum pudding. Voluptuous and sensual, but with a spicy in the long finish

Ron Botran Solera- Guatemala

12.00

Drenched in oak but is still fairly dry on the palate. It's not overly sweet yet full of great molasses. It is luscious and full-bodied with just a hint of nutmeg and cinnamon

Flor De Cana 18 Year Nicaragua

14.00

A rich, full-bodied palate with robust dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and brown spice flavors. Finishes with a very long, charred oak, vanilla and burnt caramel

Ron Del Barrilito Three Star- Puerto Rico

14.00

The complexity of aromas and flavors include a rich oakiness with dried fruit, nuts and vanilla, accented by a pleasant spiciness in the long warm finish

Ron Navazos/palazzi 15 Year- Spain

35.00

Aged 5 years in bourbon casks under the intense Caribbean sun then cascades through Spanish Solera for 10 more years aging in Oloroso Sherry Cask. This medium bodied rum has layers of leather, tobacco and aromas of smooth caramel & sweet molasses dominate palate. Chocolate, coffee and vanilla finish
