Oakland's Rum Revival
Wright & Brown set out to do rum the grain-to-glass way, on the West Coast. Their distillery in West Oakland sources family-farm, non-GMO grain from Humboldt County and ferments and distills everything in-house. The aged rum starts with blackstrap molasses from Georgia — the richest, darkest molasses available — runs it twice through a pot still for body, then layers oak character from three barrel types: new charred American white oak for structure, used bourbon barrels for vanilla and roundness, and toasted oak for aromatic sweetness.

Tasting Notes
Blackstrap molasses gives this rum its backbone: dark caramel, molasses, and dried fruit up front, with oak spice and vanilla from the triple-barrel maturation. The 96-proof bottling brings a firm, warming finish; non-chill filtration keeps the texture full.
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat or over one large cube to appreciate the pot-still character. It also stands up to cocktails that need a rum with backbone — a bold daiquiri, a rum Old Fashioned, or a float in a Mai Tai.
