The Story
The original Full Circle blended one rum from each stop on Lorri and John's rum travels; the blend has since become the bottler's house cuvée. This full proof edition turns the volume up: a 4 year old American pot still rum and a 3 year old Madeira cane juice rum bring funk and grass, a 9 year old Thai rum brings tropical depth, and an aged base of Barbadian, Trinidadian, Jamaican and Guyanese rums carries the finish. It is the undiluted sibling of the Raising Glasses Full Circle 110 Rum already on our shelves, and a showcase for what blending across the rum world can achieve.
Tasting Notes
Full-throated and layered: ripe tropical fruit, pot still funk, baking spice and toasted oak, with the Madeira cane juice component adding a fresh, grassy lift that keeps 62.1% from ever tasting hot.
How to Enjoy
Built for a Mai Tai that means business, or a slow neat pour with a splash of water. Collectors chasing the bottler's single casks should also meet the Raising Glasses King Kai 17 Year Old Rum. Blends at this strength also anchor a split-base daiquiri beautifully.
