Aficionados Group

The Aficionados Group was founded in 2018 by Jay West alongside a group of likeminded spirits professionals and enthusiasts. An online community that originated on the Discord platform, the group make exclusive selections of various spirits, including rum, cognac and whiskies which it makes available to its membership. As the name suggests, the selections are often made to showcase rare or unusual examples.

The group's inaugural selection was a 2005 vintage Foursquare, titled XXX/One. Rum has been a regular feature of their releases ever since.
