“We started making Bayou Rum about seven years ago, so these are truly our oldest, heaviest and finest rum stocks to date,” says Master Blender Reiniel Vicente. “While we have wanted to pay homage to Mardi Gras since we opened our doors, we had to be patient and pay special attention to ensure this expression was deserving of bearing the name of Louisiana’s most popular holiday.”

HOW OUR RUM IS MADE
Bayou® Rum is distilled from locally grown sugarcane in southern Louisiana, USA. Our molasses comes from the oldest family-owned and operated sugar mill in the United States. Every batch of Bayou Rum is distilled in copper pot stills, aged mostly in Bourbon casks under a solera system and bottled in house.
