A historic New England pot still rum with whiskey soul
A robust and highly characterful pot-still rum that bridges the gap between traditional Caribbean funk and the oak-forward sweetness of American whiskey. Expect a palate rich in dark molasses, warming spices, and charred oak that leads into a dry, lingering finish.
Stir all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice until chilled, then strain into a rocks glass over a single large ice cube. Garnish with an orange peel.
Serve in a rocks glass
Originally founded as Coastal Extreme Brewing in 1999, the Newport Craft distillery and production estate revived Rhode Island's colonial rum heritage under the Thomas Tew label. Named after the infamous 17th-century Rhode Island pirate, the brand focuses on authentic, pot-distilled spirits aged in charred American oak.
This expression is crafted at Newport Craft Distilling in Newport, Rhode Island, using blackstrap molasses in a traditional pot still. It pays homage to the historic Newport rum-making tradition, which was once the epicenter of the early American colonial spirits industry.
