Relicario Dominican Rum, 70 cl

Product Information

In Buddhism, relics are known as cetiya; one of the most significant is the relic of the tooth of the Buddha in Sri Lanka. In Japan, Buddhist relics are known as shari ( 舎利, śarīra), and are often stored in a shariden ( 舎利殿, relic hall, reliquary). (See also: Japanese Buddhist architecture) Take Relicario Ron Dominicano Peated Finish , an aged Dominican rum from Relicario (owned by the Spanish-based Beveland Distillers) that was finished in American oak barrels which previously held peated whisky. It’s simultaneously an interesting drink for seasoned rum lovers and exactly the kind of bottling that will convert whisky drinkers to the joys of rum. It shares a similar production process to the brand’s core expression, Relicario Ron Dominicano , that is until the end of the maturation process. The rums are made from 100% native Dominican sugar cane juice harvested by hand. The sugar cane juice is fermented for 30 hours with yeasts (the distillery reveals this is saccharomyces cerevisiae, which should delight yeast fans), before the spirit is distilled in two different stills. I told you this rum was interesting. It is distilled initially in a continuous column still and then again in a copper pot still, which Relicario says is to create a smoother delivery. Many Eastern Orthodox reliquaries housing tiny pieces of relics have circular or cylindrical slots in which small disks of wax-mastic are placed, in which the actual relic is embedded. [7] Much like most of the Barceló line up its just all a bit boring. There’s nothing exciting going on – nothing other than the presentation which would make it stand out from 50 other similar rums. I can’t imagine I’ll buy another bottle (unless its heavily discounted).

The authenticity of any given relic is often a matter of debate; for that reason, some churches require documentation of the relic's provenance. The Stūpa and Vihāra of Kanishka I. K. Walton Dobbins.

Calcutta.The earliest reliquaries were essentially boxes, either simply box-shaped or based on an architectural design, taking the form of a model of a church with a pitched roof. These latter are known by the French term chasse, and typical examples from the 12th to 14th century have wooden frameworks with gilt-copper plaques nailed on, decorated in champlevé enamel. Limoges was the largest production centre; NB the English usage differs from that of the French châsse, which denotes large size rather than shape. In the glass Relicario Superior presents itself as a dark brown with vibrant orange and red flashes. It’s a classic rum colour if you like (almost certainly some caramel colouring is involved). A philatory is a transparent reliquary designed to contain and exhibit the bones and relics of saints. This style of reliquary has a viewing portal to view the relic inside. The feretrum was a medieval form of reliquary or shrine containing the sacred effigies and relics of a saint.

The term is sometimes used loosely for containers for the body parts of non-religious figures; in particular, the kings of France often specified that their hearts and sometimes other organs be buried in a different location from their main burial.
