Klamath Basin
Few areas in the United States are more beautiful than southern Oregon, and we want to keep it that way. Our company is dedicated to helping our region.
Our Products
See AllOur Navy Strength Rum is made from organic blackstrap molasses in true rum fashion. Blackstrap molasses is the final byproduct of sugar refining and has the most intense molasses flavor. Our distillation produced a full-flavored rum that we aged in charred, new American oak barrels to impart hints of vanilla, coffee, and cinnamon. After mellowing a few more months in used wine casks our rum was bottled at 114 proof.
