Florida Craft Rum
Jonathan & Paula Himmelwright.
After a chance visit to a small distillery in 2016, and a conversation on the beach the following weekend, Jonathan and Paula made the bold decision to start a Craft Rum Company. Based in the small Florida beach town of Lauderdale By The Sea, their brand was truly founded with sandy feet.
Jonathan and Paula have always enjoyed finding people who are passionate about what they do. They believe that passion is what brings about the very best in people, products, and experiences. In their travels, they constantly seek places, people, and products that exhibit this trait. With this in mind, Jonathan and Paula are bringing that same passion to their small batch craft Rum.
Quality, Passion, and Fun is what goes into every bottle. Brand focus is driven by two distinct lines of products.
Our Rum

What We Stand For

On a trip to Costa Rica, we toured a coffee co-op in the Blue Zone of Nicoya that truly harvest superior beans.

being a Florida local brand, we would love to grab your feedback and have you grab a taste!
Then proceed to list them:
• Mango Cilantro Rum
I know it Sounds odd but believe me the cilantro paring with the mango is a really nice blend.
It's a really good sipping rum, where you don't have to add much to it, As it's really good alone just on the rocks.
It’s less in sugar and goes down so smooth.
It has a little sweetness but not overpowering at all!
(Customers who normally don’t drink rum, will definitely enjoy it, so try to convince to try it.)
Perfect for margaritas & mojitos. Anything fruity such as pineapple juice, raspberry juice, or orange juice goes amazing with it, you can really have fun with it.
****(some people do have a different pallet and might find the cilantro more of a soapy taste, which sometimes does occur, so if they think it taste Soapy that's why) ***
• Espresso Spiced Rum
If you enjoy coffee, you’ll love this!
We have it soaked with our Costa Rica beans which you’ll smell immediately. It has No added sugar & no added coloring.
(As they drink)
How perfect to put in your coffee to start the morning right!
(Jokingly say as they drink: Makes the day a lot easier lol)
Or you can pair it with any cream liquor such as Kahlua, Irish cream, & Baileys. Perfect for an Espresso Martini, White Russian & a Old Fashion.
• Barrel Finished Rum
Barrel Finished is aged in New American Oak with a level 3 char
It has No added sugar no added coloring
It’s 80 proof, it has a kick but its smooth going down, its not harsh at all. (As they drink) you can say: a lot of people say it kind of taste a lot like whiskey/ bourbon but that’s the oakiness from the barrel itself.
It's Perfect for old fashion or a rum and coke
Or it even goes well paired with our mango cilantro!
