Inspired by the unsung Revolutionary War hero Hercules Mulligan, Flaviar teamed up with spirits industry veteran Steve Luttmann with the creation of Hercules Mulligan Rum + Rye. Based on a historic recipe from the Revolutionary War era, the spirit is a 50:50 blend of Caribbean-aged rum and homegrown American rye whiskey. Fresh, organic, ginger root is macerated into the rum and rye blend, and a splash of bitters is added, ensuring this liberating libation can be enjoyed on the rocks as a ready-made Old Fashioned, the company says. Only 2,000 750-ml bottles of Hercules Mulligan have been made, and they will exclusively available online for $38.
