It’s Sunday RUMDAY! Planteray Fiji Rum - Sidecar barrel pick

Our buddies over at SideCarVA south of Richmond did a real cool thing and selected some rum for a private bottling, and they were sweet enough to share it with us. We have a rum from the island of Fiji that was aged 4 years in ex bourbon barrels, then finished in a multi oak barrel for 1 year and 7 months. This is a bottle you can only try at Sidecar or their buddies bars, and tonight you can try it for $5 per ounce!

SUNDAY RUMDAY! Ron Centenario 25

This rainy day felt like the right time to bring this bad boy back! Ron Centenario is a Costa Rican rum produced using the solera method that combines aged rums of 6 years through 25 years, a process commonly used in sherry production to introduce diversity to the flavor profile. While this rum is sweetened, it is delicious and a perfect after dinner treat! Pop by tonight to enjoy an affordable pour from this $99 bottle!

SUNDAY RUMDAY: R.L. Seale’s 12 year 🏝️ 🥃

If we haven’t made it clear, we are BIG fans of the rums made at Foursquare Rum Distillery in Barbados. Their spirits are sold under a variety of labels including Probitas, Foursquare, The Real McCoy, Doorly’s and this one, among others. While the name might change from brand to brand, one unifying truth extends across all of them - this is rum that has been made and aged solely in Barbados, and is made without the use of artificial colors or additives (like sugar). This brand, named for Reginald Leon Seale, Foursquare’s founder and great grandfather of current master distiller and blender, Richard Seale. The rum is a blend of column and pot still rums aged in ex-bourbon barrels for a minimum of 12 years.

Why is this one special? Aside from being exceptional, it’s because Caitlyn picked it out! Tonight is her last shift with us before she heads back out west to run a bar program of her own. Though our time with her has been short, she’s left such a mark on this little tropical bar and we can’t wait to see all the exciting things she does next. Pop in tonight for a couple $5 one ounce pours and wish her well on her travels.

SUNDAY RUMDAY!
Virago Four Port - Ruby Port Finish

Tonight’s installment is from Richmond’s own Virago Spirits and it’s a banger! Their flagship Four Port Rum is a proprietary blend of pot and column-distilled rums aged up to 8 years from four regions: an 8-year Barbadian rum, a 4-year Jamaican pot-distilled rum, a 5-to-8-year Nicaraguan rum, and a 6-year Panamanian rum. As if that blend wasn’t stunning enough, they took that rum and let it rest in a fresh ruby port cask to give it some added complexity and richness. This bottle is avail only directly from the distillery, you won’t find it in stores. Tonight you can try it for only $5 per ounce and that’s a pretty cool thing if you as me.

We’ve got a new menu dropping tomorrow, so tonight is last call for both of these delicious curiosities. Farewell Hawaiian Grilled Short Ribs 🐖 and Horses & Divorces 🐎 💔 , and all the other delicious drinks on this summer menu. You nurtured us when we were hungry and thirsty and needed a friend. I wonder what new delights await? 👀

SUNDAY RUMDAY: The Real McCoy 5yr and 12yr rums 🏴‍☠️ 🍹 🥃 🚢

Today we have some Barbados rum from the mighty Foursquare Distillery, aged for 5 & 12 years respectively and completely additive free. Named for Bill “the real McCoy” McCoy, a famous American rum runner who would sell rum from his boat while parked in international waters during prohibition. He earned himself a reputation for selling unadulterated liquor in a time when bootleggers were selling cheap and sometimes dangerous h***h, leading people to inquire if bottles they were buying were the “real McCoy.” The line was started by Bailey Pryor, the award winning filmmaker who made a documentary about McCoy that in turn inspired this line of rums!
