For over 130 years the Pellas family have presided over one of the world’s greatest rum distilleries: Flor de Cana. The proudly Nicaraguan business have been through a lot in that period to say the very least and have come through it all with a determination to stand the test of time. As a result, they were the world’s first spirit to be Carbon Neutral and Fair Trade certified.
This May we are pleased to host Flor de Cana’s Asia-Pacific Brand Ambassador at our Thorndon store to take us through this superb range of rums and their stories. We will take a look at how the 4 and 12 year olds perform in cocktails (spoiler alert – they’re brilliant), and also taste through the 15, 18 and 25 year old rums.

THOMAS - Store manager Tom is a real renaissance man. With his equal opportunities approach he's at ease in any setting: one moment he'll be hosting a high-end Bordeaux tasting; the next he'll be packing parcels alongside his team.
PHILIP - The utterly charming and knowledgable Phil fronts the store at the weekend and is an expert at two things: plastering a smile on your face and getting excellent wine in your car boot. Unfalteringly honest, Phil will let you in on our very best deals.
MARCEL - Gentle giant Marcel effortlessly co-ordinates the Glengarry logistical apparatus. With the mind of a supercomputer, Marcel will jigsaw across the city making timely corporate deliveries and make it back on time for a good peanut butter sandwich.
MEREDITH - Meredith's extensive history as a fine wine consultant and innate flair for occasion make her the go-to contact for your event and corporate needs, no matter the scale. That's why we call Meredith the GL - the Glengarry Legend!
DANIEL - Daniel's ideal evening involves dinner jackets and ball gowns, grower Champagne, vintage tawny port, red meat, vinyl records from ska and dub to new wave and post-punk, and a mandatory Withnail & I screening. He also works at Glengarry.
THEODORE - Despite his tender age, ex-bartender Theo is brimming with industry knowledge and will gladly assist you with recipe ideas for your next cocktail party. Both gentle and genteel, Theo honours his Sicilian roots with pizza, pasta, and quality booze.
KIM - Eric is a passionate wine and whisky enthusiast with a thorough understanding of winemaking. More secretively he is the don of Wellington's underground tasting circles, speaking French in candle-lit cellars and advising big spenders.
VIOLET - Violet is the queen of customer service and is the embodiment of service with a smile (and style!). After hours she unwinds by writing screenplays and enjoying the occasional gin.
