Rum, Reinvented.

Made by hand, one batch at a time.

Rum has always been a spirit with a story, and we're not about to tell it the way everyone else does.

At Loaded Barrel, our rum gets the same time and attention as every other bottle that leaves our small family-run distillery. It's made by hand, one batch at a time, by Head Distiller Bob Wilhelm and a team of four.

How It's MadeIn the BarrelWhy It's Different

It starts with the wash.

We ferment quality molasses with whisky backset and distil it with care, getting the most out of every cut.

We keep the heart, the part with the real character, and leave the rest behind.

Time does the rest.

Our rum rests in the barrel for as long as it needs.

We bottle when it's ready, not when a calendar says so.

No fixed core range.

Our releases are small-batch, so there's always something new to try, a bit like an adult candy store.

Our rum follows the same rule: against the grain, no shortcuts, and proudly independent.

Our first rum release is still resting. Its tasting notes arrive the day it's bottled, and members hear first.
