CRITICAL RUM REVIEWS

​

As a small producer, we don't have an advertising budget or the distribution muscle to corner store shelves. Instead, we try our hardest to make something special and share it with people who we hope will appreciate it.  Again, a big thank you to the critical community. 

You built this place as much as we did.
