Gaga Gadget reported some exciting news for fans of the Far Cry gaming franchise and rum lovers alike: the brand was releasing a limited-edition spiced rum to commemorate the series’ 20th anniversary. The brand chose to release only 2,004 bottles as a special nod to the year Ubisoft launched the first Far Cry game.
The rum can be pre-ordered for $79.99 at Love Scotch.
The outlet reported that Ubisoft joined forces with Antheum Spirits and Tenessee Legend Distillery for the limited edition release of Gallito Supremo Spiced Rum.
Tennessee Legend Distillery hosts a hefty portfolio of rums, whiskeys, moonshines and gins. The brand is based out of the Great Smoky Mountains.
Antheum Spirits claims the release comes “straight from Far Cry 6’s unparalleled adventures in the exotic landscapes of Yara.” Not much more is known about the juice inside, but Antheum claims it is distilled from “the purest sugarcane” and describes the bottles as an “homage to the indomitable will of those who fight against oppression.” It hosts an ABV of 40%.
The spirits company describes Gallito Supremo Spiced Rum as possessing an “enticing aroma” and “bold palate.” Antheum Spirits recommends sipping this spirit neat or on the rocks.
Far Cry is a first-person shooter gaming anthology series. The game is quite a commercial success, and Game World Observer reported that it hit 90 million players in March.
Video game-related spirits releases continue to grow in popularity. In April 2023, Antheum released a spiced rum to honor Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed franchise. The whiskey front has seen more than its fair share of gamer-themed releases, and in August a Final Fantasy-Themed Whisky was released in Japan from Nagahama distillery.
