Single Estate Georgia Rum
Richland Rum is hand-made in Richland, GA, using Estate-sourced natural sugar cane syrup – not molasses - and water from the Georgia Aquifer as the only ingredients. Sourcing and processing of sugar cane syrup, slow fermentation, copper pot distilling in single day batches, aging in virgin American oak barrels and ultimately bottling are all handled in-house, creating a Single Estate Rum. In addition, the Rum is all natural, not blended or mass produced and does not contain preservatives, spices, taste enhancers, color agents or additives of any kind.
Richland Rum and the Rum Renaissance
"Rum thrived in America long before Bourbon did. Good quality, aged Rum made from syrup, not molasses, is complex, delicious and worth to be sipped slowly. Actually, in the early days Bourbons tried to emanate good Rums!" said Erik Vonk, the Richland Distilling Company's founder and proprietor.
Vonk continued: "We are thrilled to see a Rum Renaissance and to be among a very few Distilleries in America dedicated to handcrafting domestic, authentic Rum, savored by Whisky & Bourbon fans and aficionados of aged spirits."
Matt Keith, TAG's National Brands Manager, added: "Richland Rum is a great addition to our spirits portfolio; its premium, award-winning quality meets the increasing demand for high-end, handcrafted products by sophisticated consumers. We are delighted to bring such an exquisite product to key markets."
