Sugarlands Mark and Digger's Hazelnut Rum
Sugarlands Mark and Digger's Hazelnut Rum is an 80-proof (40% ABV) 750mL bottle — a smooth, full-bodied rum created by Mark Ramsey and Digger Manes of Discovery Channel's Moonshiners, combining hazelnuts and rum in their backwoods still. Toasted hazelnut and brown sugar on the nose give way to vanilla, cinnamon, and honey, finishing with a sweet, oaky kick. A labor of love from the duo's Legends Series at Sugarlands Distilling Co. in Gatlinburg, Tennessee — a Bronze Medalist at the Los Angeles International Spirits Competition and Silver at the New York World Wine & Spirits Competition. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Dessert, Distilled
"Our hazelnut rum really became a labour of love," said Digger Manes — and it shows. This is the dessert-leaning side of the Legends Series: creamy hazelnut, brown sugar, and honeyed sweetness over rum spice, built for coffee, hot cocoa, and after-dinner pours. In the words of the duo's mentor Popcorn Sutton, "this is some of the finest liquors that's ever been." See more from Sugarlands or browse the rum shelf at Del Mesa Liquor.
