This rum is a high-proof, hand-crafted revelation! Our forefathers here in Virginia made rum from sugar they grew on the intercoastal waterway, or bought it from the ships that came from the islands just a bit further south. Either way, Belmont Farms Distillery is reestablishing the tradition of pot distilling the sugar mash, sweetening the rum with brown sugar and adding an assortment of spices that can be found in the East Indies, to create this colonial style spiced rum.
