WHISTLER

OUR TAKE: Venezuelan rum is on the rise!  Aside from Brown Forman’s purchase of Diplomatico, we noticed that E&A Scheer’s holiday release (which they bottle for themselves) for 2022 was also from Venezuela.  If it’s good enough for Brown Forman and E&A Scheer, it’s certainly good enough for us!

 

THE LEGEND: The Whistler is a demonic ghoul who shuffles through rural Venezuelan towns at night looking for victims to add to the bag of bones he carries on his back. Drinking a moderate amount of rum actually keeps the Whistler away … but if you drink too much rum, the Whistler will come for you, whistling his signature melody of doom (the ascending notes C D E F G then dropping an octave with the notes A and B). Art by Rezia (Regular) and Bihanc (Heavy Metal)

 

We commissioned the engraving-style artwork for the standard label from the Indonesian artist Rezki.  The fantasy-style artwork for the “Heavy Metal” label was commissioned from the Sri Lankan artist Bihanc.

 

THE RUM: We think of this as the “Everything Bagel” of rums. It’s a sumptuous smorgasbord that checks a wild variety of flavors: Sea salt caramel, bitter mocha, baking spices, toasted oak, a little citrus zing, a touch of funky petrol. 

 

DARK SECRET: We’re not permitted to disclose the distillery (but it’s not too hard to guess!)

 

AGING: 12 yrs Venezuela, 2 yrs UK aging

 

STRENGTH: 62.1% ABV (original cask strength)

 

PRODUCTION: Molasses in column still

ADDITIVES: None (no added sugar, color, etc.)
