Rum running has deep roots in Florida. During prohibition, native Daytona area local Bill McCoy became famous for the creation of “Rum Row.” McCoy was a skilled boater who’d run uncut Caribbean rum up and down the East Coast, hiding his boats and stash from law enforcement in places just like Turnbull Bay. We couldn’t think of a better way to honor his efforts of spirit provision than to name our rum line after those legends.

Our Premium Demerara Silver Rum pays tribute to the role our hometown of New Smyrna Beach played in American rum history. The modern settlement that has become New Smyrna Beach was first founded on the industry of growing and milling sugar cane, the many ruins of the old sugar mills are still present today. We start with 100% Demerara raw Sugar Cane, that we cook down in house. Our slow ferment process produces a silver rum clean and full of bright fruity notes, making it perfect to drink neat, chilled, or as the base of your favorite rum cocktail!
