My hunt for delicious American rums is never-ending! I asked you for your favorite American rum distilleries and these were just three of the suggestions.
Kohana is a farm distillery based in O'ahu that was founded in 2009 and produces all of their rums from fresh-pressed sugarcane juice that they grow themselves. The bottle that I taste in this video is made from only one of the 30 varieties of sugarcane that they grow. After tasting this, I want to get my hands on all of their other unaged releases!
*Kohana KEA October 2022 Harvest Ko-Kea*
- 40% ABV, $36
- Fresh-pressed Ko-Kea sugarcane juice
- Hybrid pot distilled
- Rested for 6 months in stainless steel
Seven Caves is a small craft distillery based in San Diego. They were founded in 2017 and not only make rums, but also make gin and the occasional whiskey. They produce their rums from molasses and sugar. This batch was aged for 3 years in oak and bottled without any additives.
*Seven Caves Barrel Aged Rum*
- 45% ABV, $40
- Molasses & sugar
- Hybrid pot distilled
- Aged 3 years in oak
Richland Rum is a farm distillery based in Georgia (they now have two distilleries!) and they have been around since 1999. They grow all of their sugarcane on Richland Estate and boil the fresh-pressed sugarcane juice into a syrup that they ferment. This single barrel was aged for 4.5 years in new American oak and bottled at cask strength.
*Richland Rum Single Estate Cask Strength Rum (Cask 359, Bottle 096/178)*
- 51.28% ABV, $65
- Sugarcane syrup from estate-grown cane
- Copper alembic pot distilled
- Aged from 09/03/2015-03/13/2020
- Bottled at cask strength
