“The Folklore Series” is the new line of premium rums from Raising Glasses, a new independent bottler of whisky and rum from our area of Boston.

Raising Glasses donates 5% of profits of these bottles to charities benefitting each country of origin.
RUM FTG
THE STORY: We set out to replicate the palate of our favorite British Navy rums ... and COMPLETELY FAILED! Our single cask components insisted on something more elegant, layered, and distinctive ... some of our blenders prefer this blend to ANY of the single casks!
THE BLEND: 58% 15 yr Barbados Foursquare (DAMN, our priciest juice ... our taste buds apparently HATE money), 38% 8 yr Trinidad spice bomb & 4% 9 yr Guyana (just a touch of this wooden pot still bully added a kick-ass finish). We wanted to water this down to 50% ABV but the blend said “Back off, bitches!”, so 62.5% it is!
NOTES: Brown sugar and almond brittle give way to creamy nougat topped with a sharp lemon glaze, finishing with peppery cinnamon, matcha tea and wistful bittersweet regret.
DARK SECRET: F.T.G. stands for “Foursquare, Trinidad & Guyana”
It’s a crazy coincidence that it “F-ing Tastes Good”, we swear!
PRODUCTION: Molasses in Column & Pot Still
ADDITIVES: None except added color from that naughty naughty Guyana!
STRENGTH: 62.5% ABV
H20: We suggest adding water lightly
