Florida Rum

Our Rum starts with the finest Louisiana Gulf Coast molasses, a style commonly associated with traditional Florida rum production. We use a food-grade molasses most often used in baking, which has a naturally sweet character and a lighter color and flavor than blackstrap molasses. That molasses is mixed with local Florida limestone spring water and fermented before being distilled twice through a copper pot still.  The result is a rum that is bold yet smooth, built to perform cleanly and predictably in mixed drinks.

This approach favors balance over weight. Because the molasses profile is lighter, the fermentation and distillation character remain clear rather than being buried under heavy residual flavors. As a result, this rum is commonly used in both classic and contemporary cocktails, including those served during tastings and events at the distillery. Guests interested in how it is typically prepared and poured can explore examples in the distillery tastings and experiences section.

What is a Florida Rum?

In simple terms, Florida rum is defined by ingredient transparency, local water sources, and production methods shaped by Florida’s climate rather than additives or aggressive filtration. A Florida Rum should represent the best that Florida has to offer and is generally understood to follow several consistent principles.

• Distilled from 100% local Gulf Coast molasses
• Uses only Florida limestone spring water
• Aged in the heat and humidity of Florida, if aged
• Bottled unfiltered to preserve natural character

Taken together, these factors produce a distinctly Florida-made rum that reflects both its raw materials and the environment in which it is distilled and matured. This combination of process and place is what gives Florida rum its recognizable structure and consistency.
