Rest & Be Long Pond 2001
$249.99
Founded in 1753, Long Pond is a sugar estate and distillery in the Jamaican Parish of Trelawny (also home to Hampden Estate). It was one of many sugar estates that were shut down or consolidated due to falling sugar prices over the course of time.
In the 1940s Seagram CEO, Samuel Bronfman acquired Long Pond distillery from the Jamiacan government, using the rum to establish the Captain Morgan brand. The Long Pond Sugar Estate, together with Hampden Estate, was bought by the Hussey family in 2009, while today, Long Pond Distillers Ltd is part of National Rums of Jamaica (NRJ).
Long Pond distillery closed in 2012 due to leakages in their dunder storage tanks, which required large amounts of repairs. In July 2017, NRJ held a re-opening ceremony for Long Pond distillery, however just a year later, July 2018 saw a disastrous fire at the distillery, destroying an eye-watering 65,000 litres of rum. Luckily nobody was harmed, and the distillery itself and the stills were unaffected. As rum isn’t stored or aged onsite, luckily no aged rum stock was affected, though it was still a huge setback for the distillery.

Four Winds Tiny Trumpet Petit IPA
$5.49
From Four Winds of Delta, BC. How amazing is it to live in an age where a 5% ABV beer is considered Petite?
From The Producer
"Small but mighty, Tiny Trumpet is an experimental IPA that boasts big flavour while managing to keep things light at a cool 5.0%.
Full bodied but easy drinking, this little number was dry hopped with a heavy dose of Talus and Lotus. What starts off as a classic light IPA gives way to a crescendo of citrus, ripe tropical fruit and pleasing notes of pine."

This is a young lambic aged on roughly 500g/L macerated cherries for various amounts of time depending on the release.
As with all Lambics and Gueueze, each batch will be different, but even moreso with Intense Rood as they utilize various combinations of stanless steel, and different types of used oak.

Brumont Chateau Montus Madrian
$41.99
Chateau Montus is one of two estates led by Alain Brumont, one of the leading vignerons in Madiran. Alain Brumont bought Château Montus in 1980, on the basis of the terroir's reputation in the 18th century. With its large reddish pebbles, this terroir is one of the last traces of the beginning of the Pyrenees, dating back 40 million years. Today's Pyrenees deposit large black pebbles marbled with white in our rivers. Montus comes from steep slopes (20-40%) fully south-facing, intense sunshine, covered with large pebbles on yellow and red clay subsoil.
