The story behind it

The maker

Founded in Newport, Rhode Island, Newport Distilling Company resurrected the state's historic distilling traditions in 2006. Named after the infamous Newport pirate and resident, Thomas Tew, the brand aims to recreate the authentic, bold rums that made Rhode Island a rum capital in the 18th century.

How it is made

Handcrafted at Newport Distilling Company using traditional copper pot stills to mirror the authentic profiles of colonial-era rums. It is aged in charred American oak barrels within the seaside warehouses of Rhode Island.
