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.”

The best beers to pair with your summer yard games

When it comes to leisure activities during the summer months, it’s difficult to beat the appeal of a round of yard games. What could be more fun on a hot, sunny day than besting your friends and siblings in an epic backyard brawl? I can’t think of anything.

I’m talking about games like croquet, lawn darts, bocce, ladder ball, cornhole, and more. The only thing that makes the experience better is having a frosty, refreshing beer firmly in one of your hands. But just like how you don’t enjoy every yard game, not just any beer will do.
