Mad River First Run Rum

Aged premium rum made with raw cane sugar.

At MRD we tried to look at rum with a fresh and distinctly modern, American view: we age our premium rum, made with cane sugar, in fresh charred American oak barrels — just like our bourbon and rye. The result is simply stunning: First Run Rum – a sipping rum with an initial “hit” of bourbon-like richness rapidly transitioning to a smooth and distinctly rum-caramel finish. Since its introduction, even the “I only drink whiskey” consumers have been pleasantly surprised by our rum! All of our sugars are fair trade certified, all natural raw cane sugars sourced from Texas or Malawi, depending on the season.
