One of Bourbon’s most 

distinctive qualities comes 

from the limestone water 

that brought bourbon to 

popularity in the 1800’s. 

The name Town Branch 

commemorates the body 

of water that currently runs 

under Lexington, on which 

Lexington was founded. 

Town Branch once the 

lifeblood of Lexington, 

again bringing joy to 

Lexingtonian’s and bourbon 

lovers alike.

RUM 

The 

Once 

and 

Future 

King 

by Nancy Fraley 

ADI Director of Research, 

Independent Sensory Consultant, 

and Editor of White Mule Press 


MARAuDINg PIRAtES and salty nautical adventures 

on the high seas, the horrors of slavery and triangular 

trade - these are some of the all-too-common modern 

day associations with the spirit of rum. But long before rum was relegated 

to the sandy cultural shelf-space of warm tropical breezes and 

tiki bars, it reigned as the king of spirits in America.

Through rebellion and war with England, 

rum lost its brief shining moment as monarch 

in colonial Camelot, and the crown was slowly 

usurped by whiskey. Although the category of 

rum in general began staging a long comeback 

with the romance of Prohibition-era Havana 

nightclubs and mid-century umbrella drinks, 

it has only been in the past ten or so years that 

craft distillers have looked to claim it again as 

the American Spirit. 

Rum came to prominence in the North 

American colonies as the British Islands began 

exporting it in return for New England lumber 

and cod. It did not take long before the American 

colonists developed a real thirst for rum, 

and savvy Yankee businessmen began shipping 

molasses from the Caribbean and started dis

tilling it themselves. They would then ship the 

finished product to ports in West Africa, where 

they exchanged the rum for slaves. Finally, 

ships bound for the Caribbean and South 

America carried slaves to work the sugarcane 

plantations, where cane was harvested and 

molasses was produced. And then the cycle 

would repeat itself. 

The gradual decline of rum in the states 

came about with the American Revolution and 

the disruption of the triangular trade system 

through war. Whiskey consumption began to 

rise as more of the uS population moved westward, 

making use of grains more economical 

than shipping molasses from the Caribbean. 

Rum continued to slowly decline, and by the 

time of Prohibition, production had ceased 

in the uS. Although Prohibition did not stop 

the import or production of illegal liquor, it 

did help give rise to the notion of rum as a 

low-quality product fit only for mixing. Rumrunners 

could buy cheap rum in the islands, 

and sell it for a handsome profit stateside. 

Rum is currently experiencing a healthy 

revival on the cocktail scene and in the spirits 

world, but can it once more claim title to the 

throne in the united States? And can American 

craft rum distilleries claim a decent share of 

this market? I interviewed several rum distillers 

and experts from across the united States to 

examine this question. Through the interview 

process, it became clear that there are some 

significant hurdles facing American rum distillers 

that affect the continued growth of rum as 

a category. Some producers see these issues as 

opportunities to be creative, while others view 

them as real challenges to their businesses. 

Listening to these producers gave some insight 

into just how nuanced and complicated these 

issues can be. 

Whether A System Of Classification? 

Phil Prichard, proprietor of Prichard’s Distillery 

in Kelso, tN, writes that the nomenclature 

provided by the uS government does 

nothing to describe the numerous styles of 

rum, nor does it say anything about the wide 

variety of flavored rums produced at different 

proofs. The current disorderly system, which 

has not been codified under uS law, describes 

rum mainly by color, such as white, dark and 

aged. under these loose classifications, dark 

rum can be made with the addition of caramel 

color, thus giving a false impression as to its 

age. And age is not a good criteria either for 

describing rum because there are no provisions 

that address how it was aged, or for how long. 

With all the new rums coming on the market, 

not to mention the ones already on the shelves, 

Prichard argues that there needs to be a better 

way to quell consumer confusion and to adequately 

describe rum to the growing number 

of rum enthusiasts. 

Indeed, if one examines the definition of 

Luis Ayala, International rum consultant 

rum under the CFR’s Standards of Identity, 

class 6, the statute provides no more direction 

than the following: “Rum” is an alcoholic distillate 

from the fermented juice of sugar cane, 

sugar cane syrup, sugar cane molasses, or other 

sugar cane by-products, produced at less than 

190° proof in such manner that the distillate 

possesses the taste, aroma and characteristics 

generally attributed to rum, and bottled at not 

less than 80° proof; and also includes mixtures 

solely of such distillates. 

bill owenS 

andrew Faulkner 

Prichard advocates the development of a system 

of classification to be used by distillers that 

would help consumers make more informed, 

intelligent decisions when assessing and buying 

rum. He posits the use of three broad categories, 

traditional, Classical, and Industrial/Refined, 

each with a subcategory of white, dark 

and certificate aged. The traditional category 

would broadly encompass those rums that are 

produced from fresh squeezed cane juice, while 

the Classical category would be made up with 

rums that are produced from sweet, table-grade 

molasses. Finally, the Industrial/Refined rums 

would be those that are produced from black 

strap molasses. 

Luis Ayala, international rum consultant 

and president of Rum Runner Press, Inc., 

also believes that the craft rum industry is at 

a crossroad in its need to develop a comprehensive 

nomenclature and standardization 

of terms. This would help guide the growing 

body of rum consumers, as well as maintaining 

quality standards within the industry. However, 

actualizing this might be a different matter. 

For instance, a rum distiller who did not adequately 

plan both financially and technically 

for his or her distillery might have the good 

intention of selling an aged rum, but later find 

themselves in a position of having to bottle 

and sell the product before it is truly matured. 

Consumers used to buying aged rums may buy 

the product at a high price point, only to later 

discover upon tasting that the product is not 

truly what it purports to be. Ayala believes that 

the craft rum industry would not back a government 

classification system because it would 

take away their freedom to decide when to 

release their products, although placing spirits 

prematurely on the market can also damage 

the reputation of the industry as a whole. 

Some distillers see freedom for creativity in 

the vague nomenclature for rum, and the sale 

of such experimental products can be lucrative. 

unlike the uS nomenclature for whiskey, 

which sets out very specific types of whiskey 

and how it must be produced, the lack of such 

a structure for rum allows producers to create 

new flavor profiles without having to worry 

about where to situate their product within 

the proper category before submitting their 

labels for COLA approval. Such vagueness is 

what allowed Andrew Causey, president of 

Downslope Distilling in Englewood, CO, to 

take a chance on buying previous use Hungarian 

tokaji barrels and experimenting with 

aging his rum in them, and then releasing the 

product when we felt it was ready. He also 

aged some of his rum in Cabernet Sauvignon 

and other wine barrels. He says that the growth 

curve for these products has “surpassed those 

of the white and gold rums.” 

Because the Standards of Identity are silent 

as to how and for how long rum should be

aged, some distillers have been able to experiment 

aging their products with new, charred 

oak barrels. Others have experimented widely 

with wash recipes. They tend to agree that it 

is great to have the freedom to release their 

products when they see fit, and to have room 

for creative expression. 

Consumer Education: “not All Rum is bad” 

Another significant challenge for American 

craft rum producers is that many consumers 

have preconceived notions of what rum 

“should be like.” These notions are usually 

based on negative experiences with poor quality 

distillates, or on the belief that all rum 

should fit the flavor profiles already established 

by the various styles of Caribbean, Central and 

South American products. This issue is partly a 

product of the historical experience of Prohibition, 

as noted before, since cheap rums were 

ubiquitous on the black market and the public 

perception of rum as a cheap mixer became 

ingrained in the American drinkers’ collective 

consciousness. It is equally due to the fact that 

there is a plethora of inexpensive, mass-produced, 

big-name brands of rum on the market 

today. And finally, from the time of Prohibition 

until the mid to late 1990’s, there were no 

American distillers producing rum. The general 

public has only had the Islands and South 

American rums to use as reference guides, and 

the cultural associations that attend them. 

However, rum producers have differing 

views as to just how big of a challenge consumer 

education is for them. For Kelly Railean, 

proprietor of and distiller at Railean Distillers, 

at the Eagle Point Distillery in San Leon, 

tX, consumer education is crucial for sales, 

and in order to teach people that rum can be 


Kelly Railean, proprietor and distiller at Railean Distillers, in San Leon, TX 

a great product in its own right. This is not a 

big issue on the gulf Coast where she distills, 

since the area boasts a large sailing community 

with many rum connoisseurs. Rather, getting 

the word out past the seaside community is 

the real challenge. Railean accomplishes this 

through hosting distillery tours, tastings, 

speaking at symposiums, and giving lectures. 

She explains that when you tell people how 

it is made differently from mass-produced 

products, first by using quality molasses and 

then doing every aspect of production herself 

by hand, “People don’t mind paying a couple 

dollars more for it. They realize that you can 

actually sip a fine aged rum the way you would 

a bourbon, whiskey, or a Scotch.” 

Andrew Cabot, president of Privateer 

International in Ipswich, MA, views consumer 

education as “less of a challenge because of 

the general ‘Food movement’ in this country. 

People are a little more predisposed to listening 

these days.” Cabot observes that “there is a 

willing and able audience out there.” 

More of a challenge for Cabot is the 

misinformation about rum that comes from 

marketing campaigns, as well as a bias by many 

rum experts towards Caribbean and South 

American rums. “Even experts promote biases, 

and they aren’t necessarily aware of them. 

Preferences are different from biases.” 

Phil Prichard offers some insight as to how 

to address the Caribbean and South American 

Ambiguities in the Legal Definition and Interpretation of Rum 

ALtHOugH the united States 

government Standards of Identity 

appear to give a broad interpretation 

as to what kind of sugar cane or sugar 

cane derivative spirits can be called “rum,” 

in practice there has been much ambiguity 

and confusion among both distillers and 

the Alcohol and tobacco tax and trade 

Bureau (ttB) regarding this issue. 

For example, a few distillers have sought 

to produce a rum-like product whose raw 

ingredient is sorghum. Like sugar cane, 

sorghum is a species of grass whose juice 

can be processed into sweet, fermentable 

syrup. So far, the ttB has stated that 

spirits made from sorghum cannot be 

classified as rum. Because of this, such 

products have often fallen under the “spirit 

specialty” catch-all designation. However, 

Colglazier and Hobson Distillery in Indiana 

has recently produced a sweet sorghum 

spirit they call “Sorgrhum” and refer to it 

as “America’s First Sweet Sorghum Rum” 

as well as “Sweet Sorghum Spirit” on their 

website. They are currently awaiting label 

approval, so it will remain to be seen as to 

what class within the Standards of Identity 

this spirit will fall. 

Another point of ambiguity concerns 

rum-like distillates produced from fresh 

cane juice. This category ordinarily consists 

of cachacas from Brazil and rhum agricoles 

from Martinique and the French West 

Indies. Cachaca, for instance, has not 

been separated into a class of its own in 

u.S. Standards of Identity nomenclature. 

bill owenS 

However, in recognition of the fact that 

cachaca is intimately intertwined with 

Brazilian culture, the Brazilian government 

has taken strong measures to secure use of 

the name “cachaca” as a spirit that is internationally 

recognized as being exclusively 

produced in Brazil. Clearly, Brazil and the 

French West Indies are not the only places 

that make distillates from fresh fermented 

cane juice, but American distillers are dissuaded 

from using the terms “cachaca” or 

“rhum agricole” to describe their similarly 

produced spirits. 

These are but a few of the legal issues 

and questions of nomenclature interpretation 

confronting rum distillers in the 

united States.

cultural associations with rum by educating his 

consumers on the history of rum and letting 

them know that his rums are American-made. 

Prichard explains, “There are a lot of people 

out there who don’t realize that America was 

the largest producer of rum prior to the American 

Revolution. And people also expect rum 

to be cheap. If you get them to buy an $80 

bottle of rum, which we have, you have done 

a marvelous job of educating your consumers 

that not all rums are white, or cheap, or made 

with back strap, or made in the tropics.” 

Andrew Causey wraps up the issue of 

educating consumers through his observation 

that “there are some really, really good rums 

out there, and some really bad ones, and most 

people have only tasted bad rum. It is our 

responsibility as craft distillers to change that.” 

Competition With Whiskey, Vodka, 

and Foreign Rum Markets 

Another big challenge facing the American 

craft rum industry comes in the form of stiff 

competition with popular whiskey and vodka 

categories, followed by foreign rum. According 

to the spirits category table reports released 

by DISCuS for 2010, 24.9 million nine-liter 

cases of rum were sold that year, while 59 

million cases were sold, followed by 47 million 

cases for all whiskey categories. The good news 

for rum producers, according to a 2010 report 

released by Impact Databank, is that rum 

consumption has doubled from roughly 11 

million cases in 1994 to over 24 million cases 

in 2009. But with craft spirits only comprising 

about 1% of total distilled spirit sales, with 

most of those sales for vodka or whiskey, craftproduced 

rum is still only a drop in the alcohol 

bucket. 

When it comes to American craft distillers 

competing with non-domestic produced rums, 

Kelly Railean points out that both tough federal 

and state governmental regulations give foreign 

producers the upper hand. For instance, 

in order to comply with such regulations, she 

must increase the price of her products to stay 

afloat. Although certain regulations, such as 

environmental laws, can be a good thing, overseas 

producers don’t always have the same costs 

of compliance and can sell their products more 

cheaply. In the state of texas, she has to sell her 

products directly to a licensed distributor. And 

is so often the case, the distributors tend to 

promote giant brands like Bacardi rather than 

promoting small brands because of the much 

larger financial return. 

As noted above, most of the producers and 

experts I interviewed observe that consumers 

usually expect rum to be cheap as compared 

to other spirit categories. “People will not pay 

$40 for a good bottle of rum when they can 

buy it cheaply from Captain Morgan,” Luis 

Ayala laments, “but they don’t mind paying 

$40 or more for a good bottle of vodka or 

whiskey. In this way, although the volume of 

sales has doubled for rum since 1994, rum is 

still lagging behind other spirits in what people 

are willing to pay.” 

Phil Prichard realized in the mid-2000’s that 

rum can often be a seasonal item and harder 

to sell year-round than whiskey. Early in his 

distilling career, a distributor once told him 

“people like rum, but they love whiskey.” And 

as he noticed his rum sales begin to level off, 

he began producing whiskey so that his distillery 

would see continued growth. 

The Forcast For Rum 

The rum producers I spoke with all exhibited 

a “cautious optimism” regarding the future 

of American made rum. Clearly, there are 

several hurdles that must be addressed as rum 

continues its gradual ascent. And while these 

distillers want rum to be at least as popular as 

whiskey and vodka, they realize that it may 

never completely catch up in sales with these 

categories. Yet, there is a tremendous amount 

of room for distillers to be creative in experimenting 

and producing new flavor profiles, 

thus developing a variety of styles of the new 

breed of American rums. As Andrew Causey 

assured me, “Rum is going up and up, and 

there is plenty of room to grow. The sky is the 

limit.” And that is great news.

5 rums every 

micro distiller 

should try 

By Luis AyALA, Rum ConsuLtAnt 

“Don’t be stuck having to sell what 

you just produced, instead plan 

to produce that which you 

truly want to sell” 

Ron barceló Gran Platino, 1 year old, 

Dominican Republic. Why: white rums 

don’t have to be destined for the cocktail 

shaker! this white rum demonstrates 

that good craftsmanship can 

result in sipping white rums that vodka 

drinkers can enjoy, while still retaining 

the character typically associated with 

cane spirits. 

Santa Teresa Rhum Orange, 2 year old, 

Venezuela. Why: most so-called fruitflavored 

or spiced rums in the market 

are made with raw, un-aged ethanol. 

With Rhum orange, santa teresa has 

produced a true, flavored aged rum that 

takes advantage of legitimate aromas 

and tastes in their alcohol base, showing 

what a true fruit flavored rum can 

be like. 

Ron Viejo de Caldas Grand Reserve, 8 

year old, Colombia. Why: many beginning 

rum producers believe that as rum 

is aged, it tends to develop mainly brandy 

and fruit notes. this rum showcases 

what careful fractional selection and 

aging can produce when artfully aged 

and blended; it is a true eye opener. 

English harbour 10 year old, Antigua. 

Why: this rum demonstrates that one 

does not need to grow very old waiting 

for rum to mature into something truly 

exquisite. one single decade of aging in 

the right environmental conditions can 

produce superb results. 

Zafra Master Reserve 21 year old, 

Panama. Why: it has been said that 

patience has its rewards, and nothing 

like this rum to prove how truthful 

this assertion is. While there are other 

rums that are as old or older, those 

products are also considerably sweeter. 

Zafra proves that remarkable smoothness 

and persistent complexity can be 

achieved without being sugary.

Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the 

21st Amendment up-ending the 

Volstead Act, enacted over President 

Wilson’s veto 14 years earlier. Yet, 

while craft distilleries have sprung into 

prominence all around the country, only 

four are operating in Kentucky (Corsair 

in Bowling green, M.B. Rowland in 

Pembroke, and Lyons Spirits and Barrel 

House, both in Lexington). That is very 

much about to change. No less than nine 

new distilleries are starting up, or in the 

case of Michter’s and Kentucky Bourbon 

Distillers, starting over, in Kentucky. 

Three of them will join Brown-Forman 

inside Louisville’s city limits—the first to 

do so since the great exodus of distilleries 

at the start of “the Noble Experiment” of 

Prohibition in 1919.

The Malt Guild 

tHE MALt guILD is loosely based 

on Phillip Hills’ Scotch Malt Whisky 

Society. Where Hills’ goal was to get 

scotch whisky into the hands of Scots, our goal 

is to provide “Information.” For all intents and 

purposes, the Malt guild is a whiskey club. 

We gather privately outside of the bustling 

confines of a bar or club at a private room at 

a golf course. When the guild meets we have 

an agenda and it is whiskey. typically we have 

three to study and each person at the study 

table is given worksheets and nosing glasses 

with watch glass covers, each containing one 

ounce of the whiskeys we are to study. 

New members are often disappointed, for 

we are not a drinking club. We don’t order a 

round and pretend we know what we are doing, 

talking jovially with one another, socializing, 

while trying to discern the nuances of the 

whiskey in our glass. No, this is a study table. 

We take notes, progressively working through 

the prepared worksheet. There are three stages 

to this progression. 

Stage One: We begin by creating a profile 

for the whiskey with name, place of distillation, 

age and mash bill. We document alcohol 

content of the still if known, otherwise at 

bottle strength along with whatever other 

information we can glean. This begins the 

understanding process. We then begin discussing 

color, legs and beads—why some scotch 

whiskys are pale, why some bourbons are dark, 

how a two year-old whiskey can somehow be 

darker than six year-old. Open discussion and 

fact finding is what this stage is all about. 

Stage Two: We nose the whiskey. Nothing 

is more critical to developing one’s pallet than 

nosing. Without proper nosing it is so easy 

to miss an entire spectrum of whiskey. This is 

what kills me while I am at work in the liquor 

store that I have occupied for the last twelve 

years. When I talk to twenty somethings as 

they look for a whiskey, I like to ask them about 

what they like about the whiskey they’re looking 

at, what about the flavors in that whiskey. Nosing, 

I ask, have you ever nosed your whiskey 

before you sip it. Nosing? They reply, what is 

that? And then quickly retort that they’re not 

sipping; they’re taking shots. The only thing I 

can do at this point is just walk away. 


By Robert Pate 

T H E . M A LT . G U I L D 

Stage Three: Now, after fifteen to twenty 

minutes of looking, studying, and nosing 

we finally get to tasting. During the whole 

process we are working through the worksheets 

that have been created to focus our attention 

to the details of the whiskey we are exploring. 

The whole process is to get personal with the 

whiskey to build a taxonomy of taste for the 

whiskey to match each individual palate. This 

is not something that can be accomplished 

during a three-hour meeting. This is done 

with practice. A lot of practice. Call it a lifetime 

of malt adventure. 

NOW, AFtER tHREE YEARS, the 

Malt guild has now begun inviting 

distillers and brand representative to the 

meetings. Through video conferencing we have 

invited such people as troy Karnes from High 

West Distilling and Lynn Bauer from Clear Creek 

Distilling to be a part of our meetings. troy 

spoke to us from his home is Washington D.C. 

and Lynn from the distillery in Portland, Oregon. 

Discovering whiskey 

It is heartbreaking and deeply 

frustrating to me that we are losing 

so many young people to the notion 

that whiskey is for drinking and not for 

discovering. Drinking something just to 

get drunk, I abhor this thought. This is 

not what the Malt guild is about and 

first time attendees when realizing this 

usually make a choice. Many times we 

do not see these folks back to a second 

meeting. I am on an evangelistic mission 

to convince people especially the young 

twenty something’s, before they get to 

lost in the haze of liquor choices, that discovering 

is a better approach to drinking. 

Discovering means you take your time 

with the whiskey, you try to understand 

it. Explaining to whiskey drinkers that 

what they have is special, it is something 

that is very complex, it is something that 

has taken years to produce. Just down a 

shot which takes a mere second is doing 

the whiskey a grave disservice 

Developing the live link to the distilleries 

is a way to provide the distilleries a direct 

marketing tool for their product without 

having to put in the time and travel expenses. 

We can now go through the worksheet side by 

side with the distiller or brand manager for the 

product we are sampling. Since our Malt guild 

members are avowed whiskey enthusiasts, they 

are also thought leaders who become miniambassadors 

for the whiskeys they understand 

and love. It’s a win-win for everyone. 

It is a win for the distillery because the 

brand promotion has no inherent costs beyond 

the laptop computer already owned, plus, we 

have purchased the whiskey as well, so there is 

a sale involved which is another bonus. Being 

able to purchase the whiskey locally is essential. 

It’s a win for us as consumers because we are 

able to try something with you, the distiller, 

and learn all the fascinating ideas, processes, 

and thoughts that went into developing that 

whiskey. Instant promotion for forty-five 

minutes of time. 

The Malt guild is expanding. We have four 

groups in Indiana (Bloomington, Indianapolis, 

Columbus, and New Albany), plus one in 

Washington, D.C. and another starting up in 

Ann Arbor, Michigan. Now, should Lynn or 

troy wish to talk about a new whiskey they have 

coming out they have the access to linked sessions 

with people in various parts of the country 

who are interested in what they have to say. 

The Malt guild is set up to be a conduit 

of information. It is a place to share ideas, 

thoughts, and enthusiasm for something this is 

very unique: whiskey. 

It has taken some time to develop the model. 

It is set to take off. I joke with my whiskey 

friends that we are the “Red Hatters” of 

whiskey. We each have our own little clubs of 

people independent but yet all together sharing 

information and experiences. Our five-year 

goal is to set up a series of guild Halls. These 

would be places where guild members could 

assemble and be unimpeded in their quest to 

find really good whiskies at a reasonable cost. 

If you are a malt distiller who would like to 

participate in a Malt guild meeting, or are interested 

in establishing an affiliate Malt guild, 

please contact the author by e-mail: Robert

tHOuSANDS of years ago clay or glass bottles were sealed 

with what might have been a piece of wood with some cloth 

and tree pitch. Function was the only concern. Later the 

Romans began to use rough pieces of natural bark cork. Whatever 

the closure choice the function was the same … hold the liquid in 

the container and keep the stopper and outside air from adversely 

affecting the product. 

Our family business has been providing quality closures for over 

60 years. So, yes, we know a lot about cork! Looking to the future, 

we formed a strategic alliance with the tapi group to take advantage 

of their advanced technology and experience with synthetics. That 

said, good quality natural cork will always have a place in the spirits 

industry. 

The advent of modern synthetics dramatically widened the array 

of possibilities for bottlers, allowing many new colors and shapes to 

be produced. The functional advantage of synthetics over cork lies 

in their ability to eliminate much of the dust, taint and variability 

inherent with natural cork. Plus, these advanced closures work bet-

Corks & Closures 

Marrying FunCtion with Design 

by kevin Dunbar 

ter in concert with the creative bottles being produced by the glass 

bottle industry. 

The common goals for every distiller’s product package: 

• The obvious – contain the spirits in the bottle without effect- 

ing the product quality inside and 

• Ensure that the marriage of bottle and closure create a well- 

crafted package design. 

Whatever the closure solution one chooses, it must help make a 

positive statement about the product. Like everyone else, craft distillers 

need a package that stands out. A major advantage of modern 

synthetic closures has been their dependable supply and multiple 

options for innovative and decorative closures. 

Let us help you decide if a synthetic closure is the barstopper 

you’re looking for.
