Cigüeña Collection

The Cigüeña Collection is an incredibly rare assortment of rums, bottled by A. Van Wees in Amsterdam. The rums started life in casks at the E&A Scheer warehouses, and were discovered in mostly emptied barrels by a cooper called Tiemstra who filled them into demijohns acquired from Cees Van Wees. After tasting the rum, Van Wees bought the lot and transferred it into hand-numbered and labelled antique bottles. While initially intended to be stored for personal use, some bottles were eventually sold to A. Van Wees customers.

In total there are nineteen different bottlings from four different countries: Martinique, Guyana, Jamaica, and Barbados. Among these there are thirteen different vintages ranging between 1934 and 1967.
