About Our Rum

Dread River brings a Southern twist to traditional rum with two standout expressions. Our Dread River Rum is a Caribbean-style unaged spirit, distilled from brown sugar and molasses in Birmingham – bright, tropical, and ideal for cocktails.

For a deeper, spiced experience, our Blackstrap Rum blends molasses and brown sugar with baking spices, orange peel, vanilla, and peppercorn, and is back-sweetened with blackstrap molasses. Expect warm notes of pecan pie and Dutch apple pie on the palate.

FAQ

What’s the difference between your unaged rum and blackstrap expression?

The standard Dread River Rum is unaged, bright, and tropical – ideal for spirited cocktails. The Blackstrap Rum is richer and spiced, flavored with baking spices, citrus peel, and back-sweetened, offering warm, dessert-like aromas.

What base ingredients do you use in your rums?

Both rums are distilled from a combination of brown sugar and molasses, giving them their bold, traditional Caribbean-style spirit profile.

What flavor profiles and proofs should I expect?

Both Dread River Rum and Blackstrap Rum are 80 proof (40% ABV). The unaged version offers tropical sweetness, while Blackstrap carries rich spice and baking notes with depth.

Are these rums good for cocktails and sipping neat?

Absolutely – Dread River Rum shines in highballs and tiki-style drinks, while Blackstrap Rum’s warmth and complexity make it excellent neat, on ice, or in dark-rum cocktails.

Where can I purchase or try these rums?

Our rums are available online and at our tasting room in Birmingham. Alabama customers can also find them in ABC stores and local package shops. Shop Rum or Book a Distillery Tour.
