Raising Glasses Pelee's Fury 1 Rum 375mL
Raising Glasses Pelee's Fury 1 Rum is an unaged Grand Arôme rum from the Le Galion distillery on Martinique, bottled at 62.5% ABV in a 375mL bottle. Grand Arôme is Martinique's high-ester molasses style — a long fermentation worked with vinasse that produces some of the funkiest rum in the French Caribbean — and Raising Glasses bottles it raw, with no time in wood to sand down its edges.

The Story
The name honors Mount Pelée, the volcano whose 1902 eruption reshaped Martinique — and this rum has a similar temperament. Le Galion is one of the last distilleries still making true Grand Arôme, a style once prized by French pastry chefs and blenders for its outrageous aromatic intensity. Rumcast named it one of its rums of the year. For drinkers exploring high-ester rum, it makes a fascinating French-Caribbean counterpoint to our Jamaican bottles in the rum collection.
Tasting Notes
Wild tropical fruit, black olives, candied prunes and salted almonds — savory, fruity and funky in equal measure, with an aromatic intensity that leaps out of the glass.
How to Enjoy
A float of Pelee's Fury transforms a Mai Tai; in a daiquiri it drinks like a fruit market at full volume — one of the boldest pours in our white rum lineup. Neat pours reward the brave. Cane-juice fans should also try the grassy Martinique agricole style of the Raising Glasses Ethereal — a different island, a kindred spirit.
