Eric Kaye's Holmes Cay rum range is a bona fide treasure trove for hardcore tiki heads and collectors, as he sources some of the most compelling single cask expressions on the market, with access to seemingly all of the rum world's finest distilleries and stocks.
So, it's no wonder that the Holmes Cay core range features some of the sharpest quality-to-price buys in the category, particularly the 96-point Heritage Blend. It's a marvelous ode to the stylistic variety of Caribbean rum. Part molasses distillate from Venezuela and Foursquare in Barbados, and part rhum agricole (cane juice) from Martinique, the Heritage blend offers clear characteristics of each style in utterly charming fashion. "Complex aromas" and a "mouthwatering palate" culminate in a "notably long" finish that led Wine Enthusiast's Kara Newman to tag it as Best Buy along with her glowing score. At a price that allows you to stock the bar in multiples, it'll be a fabulous addtion to your cocktail game or a surefire winner anytime you need a go-to fix for your rum craving without breaking the bank. |
