The Pinball Series Reaches Saint Lucia

Bedford Park has become one of the most exciting names in North American rum in just a few years — selecting single casks from distilleries like Hampden, Foursquare and Caroni, bottling them at cask strength with no additives or chill filtration, and dressing them in striking label art; this cask wears the 'Shady Grove' art of Toronto artist Elise Conlin. The bottler calls it a fantastic demonstration of the Saint Lucia spirit and the beauty that comes with the patience of a longer maturation, and the RumX community rates the bottling 8.8 out of 10 — one of the oldest Saint Lucian pot still rums bottled anywhere.

Tasting Notes

The distinctive Saint Lucian signature of pine-forest resin, spearmint and brine, wrapped after two decades in deep oak, dried fruit, toffee, dark chocolate and tobacco, with a long, warming, spicy finish.

How to Enjoy

Sip it neat in a small glass and give it time — 21 years and cask strength reward patience, and a few drops of water open the dried fruit and spice. Collectors hunting single-cask rum should also browse our rare and top shelf collection.
