This quarter's close-out items have been posted. Much of the churn is cutting convenience sizes of products that will continue to be available in a standard 750 ML size, and I won't shed a tear over most of the spirits that are disappearing completely. The big exception is Castries Peanut Rum Creme, which, as far as cream liqueurs go, I can't recommend highly enough. I'm sure the $30 price tag is what did it in, but for the $19 close-out price, go get a bottle right now. It is delicious peanuty rummy dessert.

It looks like Admiral Imports is switching from Southern to Majestic in PA, but the Southern codes are still in there so if you're interested in getting some Berentzen Pear Liqueur without having to order twelve bottles, order it from Southern (#056828, SLO, $21.79) before their old stock runs out.

Crusoe Rum, from the makers of TRU organic gin and vodka, stands virtually alone in the organic rum category. The only other organic rum producer I'm aware of is Papagayo who makes a white rum (#068996, SLO, $26.99) and a spiced rum (#069009, SLO, $26.99). I'm surprised this category is as small as it is still, but as rum continues to grow in popularity, I'm sure the producers will catch on.
