One rum ingredient that doesn’t get much air time is water (couldn’t help ourselves with that one!). Most distillers have to Reverse Osmosis filter their water so that it is completely neutral and adds nothing to the rum’s final flavor—even though it makes up 60% of every bottle! Our bottling water comes from an aquifer below the bottling facility, which is snowmelt fed and full of natural minerals that have flavor characteristics of their own. We know from experience: Good Water Makes Good Rum.
