Raising Glasses The Whistler 14 Year Rum

Raising Glasses is an American independent bottler run by Lorri and John, a husband-and-wife team of longtime Scotch collectors who select their own casks and bottle them in 375ml under their own label, and The Whistler, number 7 in their Folklore Series, is their 14-year single cask of Venezuelan rum. Venezuela has drawn real attention since Brown-Forman bought Diplomático, and its broker-sourced casks are the cleanest Latin-style column rums on the independent market. This one was distilled from molasses on a column still in 2008, spent 12 years aging in Venezuela and a further two in the UK, and was bottled in 2023 at cask strength, 62.1% ABV, with no sugar, coloring or other additives, in a run of 324 bottles. The name is El Silbón, the whistling ghoul of Venezuelan folklore who roams at night with a sack of bones; a modest pour of rum is said to keep him away. Raising Glasses calls it the everything bagel of rums: sea salt caramel, bitter mocha, baking spice, toasted oak, a little citrus zing and a touch of funky petrol, more character than most Venezuelan rum shows because none of it has been sweetened away. 375ml bottle.
