In 2011, deep in the heart of Sugarcane Country, three childhood friends had a revelation. Once quietly produced in the backwaters of the Bayou, rum - America's original spirit - had become a forgotten one. The ingredient central to rum - sugarcane - had been cultivated in their home state since the 1700s, but no one had yet harnessed this abundant natural resource to create a top-notch, premium rum. They vowed to change that by crafting a Louisiana rum for the world to enjoy. Two years later, the Bayou  Rum Distillery opened their door in Lacassine, LA. Utilizing traditional methods with state-of-the-art technology from fermentation through distillation, maturation and bottling, Bayou Rum has earned its title of #1 Craft Rum in America*. Today, Bayou Rum is available throughout the United States.

Tasting Notes

Matured in bourbon barrels for up to 6 years using the Solera aging method. A deep mahogany complexion with a stone fruit, plum and sandalwood on the nose, this complex spirit delivers orange marmalade and dark stone fruit with bursts of black currant and tupelo honey. Rounding out with a long, rich touch of smoke this 6 year old spirit lingers like the early morning mist that can only come from the Delta of Louisiana.
