A Sailboat, a Reef, and a Rum Company
The brand's own story starts with a shipwreck: the founders' sailboat ran onto a rocky reef just off downtown Cozumel, and the stay that followed — and the friendships formed — became the Cozumel Rum Company. The company works the lands of the ancient Mayan world, from coastal sugarcane fields to handblown bottles made from recycled glass, and keeps production small-batch by necessity. Five years in medium-toasted American oak turns that raw material into this golden anejo. Explore it alongside the rest of our rum range, or see the house on the Cozumel Rum Company vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Delicately mild and fruity (brand notes). Palate: Harmonious — toasted grains, oak and a hint of smoke. Finish: Full-bodied, notably warm and smooth.
How to Enjoy
Five years of oak make this a sipping rum first — neat or over one large cube. It also gives a Rum Old Fashioned or a dark Mai Tai a genuinely aged base instead of a spiced shortcut.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is Cozumel Anejo aged? Five years in medium-toasted American oak barrels, per the brand's copy — a stated age on the bottle, presented here as the brand states it.
Is Cozumel Anejo a spiced rum? No. The Cozumel range includes a separate Mayan Spiced Rum bottling; this Anejo is an aged golden rum with no spice infusion in its brand copy.
Why does every bottle look slightly different? The rum is bottled in handblown glass — the brand uses recycled glass and small-batch production, so no two bottles are perfectly identical.
