WE’RE A BUNCH OF RUM FANATICS
Driven by an ambition to introduce a real and honest approach to spiced rum using only the finest natural ingredients.
Without pretention or illusions, we look beyond tradition to introduce a rum like no other – complex, distinctive, and eminently drinkable. The perfect union of land and sea.
Ruben Maduro
FOUNDER
Partly grown up in the Dutch Caribbean, Ruben naturally developed a passion for quality rums. However, disappointed with the majority of spiced rums, which are nowadays often overly-sweet and artificially-flavoured with vanilla, cinnamon and citrus aromatics.It woke up an ambition in him to bring a real and honest approach to spiced rum, using only the finest natural ingredients.
