Owney's New York City 750 ml
About this bottle
Owney's New York City Rum is distilled from molasses at Owney's, a small craft distillery in Brooklyn, New York, named for Owney Madden, a Prohibition-era gangster and rum-runner who once ran bootlegging operations out of the city. Rather than aging the spirit, Owney's bottles its flagship rum unaged, so it's closer in style to a rhum agricole blanc or a clean white rum than a barrel-aged sipping rum. It's distilled in small batches from Caribbean molasses and finished in New York, splitting the difference between an island rum's raw material and a craft city distillery's process. Bottled at 80 proof, it's built for mixing more than sipping neat.
How to drink Owney's New York City Rum
Use it in a daiquiri or a mojito where an unaged rum's clean, molasses-forward character actually comes through. It's a mixing rum first, so save the neat pours for an aged expression.
