According to Flor de Caña, this high-proof, amber-hued rum is known for its complex, memorable flavor profile. Expect flavors of plums, toasted vanilla beans, charred wood, and bold notes of oaky wood, dark chocolate, and wintry spices. This rich, multi-layered rum deserves to be sipped neat or on the rocks during a cool fall evening.

“We’re excited to bring this unique and exclusive release to Flor de Caña fans and rum enthusiasts across the country,” Beth Runnels, SVP of LSI says.

“This launch reflects our commitment to leading the ultra-premium category across all brown spirits—not just rum—and to delivering exceptional quality for those who appreciate the craft behind every bottle.”

Fans of bold, memorable rye whiskey have a reason to get excited because Buffalo Trace recently announced a higher-proof version of its popular Sazerac Rye Whiskey. Crafted for bartenders and rye whiskey drinkers alike, this 100-proof expression was created to be sipped neat or mixed into your favorite whiskey-based cocktails.
Sazerac Rye Whiskey 100 Proof

If you’re a whiskey drinker, you’re aware that many whiskeys are 80-proof (or 40% ABV). Standard Sazerac Rye is 90-proof (or 45% ABV). This new version ups the alcohol content, creating a bold, rich, memorable rye whiskey that stands up well in cocktails like the Boulevardier or Manhattan, but is versatile enough to be sipped neat while you sit around that end-of-summer campfire.

While we don't usually make it our business to tell you that one spirit is better than another when it comes to summer drinking, there's an argument to be made for rum as the true hero of the warmer months. This is especially true when it comes to mixed drinks. There are great, refreshing vodka, gin, tequila, and whiskey-based cocktails, but there's something special about a classic, flavorful rum-based cocktail on a hot, sunny summer day.

In my years of writing about alcohol, I've been lucky enough to imbibe my fair share of rum-based drinks. I understand the prowess of this aged (or un-aged) sugarcane-based spirit when it comes to warm-weather mixology.
Why is rum great for summery cocktails?
