Humboldt's Gold Standard
Before the spiced expression and the malt whiskey, there was the Original. Humboldt Distillery's flagship rum starts with organic sugarcane, gets barrel-aged into a lighter-bodied gold rum, and is bottled at a full 80 proof — no artificial flavors, no shortcuts. It is the distillery's workhorse: caramel and toasted sugar with vanilla and mild spice, smooth and lightly sweet, built for the cocktails that made rum famous.
