Lost Years Four Island Rum

Any company that helps to save sea turtles is alright in our book here at The Coolector and the fact that Lost Years are doing it by crafting delicious rum is the icing on the cake. Their Four Island Rum is classically Caribbean: fruity and aromatic with juicy notes of tropical fruit, combined with the warm smokiness that comes from those years spent in lightly charred barrels previously used for maturing bourbon.

Amass Botanic Vodka

Vodka can be a bit of an abrasive spirit so it’s alway good to tone it down a bit with a hit of botanicals and that’s exactly what you get with AMASS’ Botanic Vodka. With notes of Marigold, Chamomile, and Lemon, this vodka celebrates Nordic distilling tradition and the rich, vibrant history of Scandinavian drinking culture. It takes inspiration from the region’s long-standing spirit tradition and Master Distiller Morgan McLachlan worked with craft distillers in Copenhagen to develop the liquid before moving production to Central California.
