Holmes Cay Belize 2005 750 ml

Holmes Cay Belize 2005 is a single-cask rum from Holmes Cay, an independent bottler known for sourcing cask-strength, additive-free rum from distilleries around the Caribbean and Central America and bottling it without dilution or added sugar. This release comes from a 2005 vintage cask out of Belize, likely from the country's Travellers Liquors distillery. Expect a nose of tropical fruit, caramel and oak, a palate that's rich and full-proof with brown sugar, spice and ripe fruit, and a long, warming finish. It's built for rum collectors who chase single-cask, transparently sourced bottlings.

How to drink Holmes Cay Belize 2005

Neat, in a tulip glass, is the way to taste what makes this specific cask distinct — add a splash of water if the cask strength runs hot.
