Richland Rum Distillery (Georgia USA) Brand Profile.

1. Single estate georgia rum
Handcrafted from Estate sourced sugar cane
Copper pot distilled in small batches
Brand Profile Richland Rum is a trademark of the Richland Distilling Company

2. Rum was America’s spirit of choice long before Bourbon or Whisky.
In the 1700’s, rum distilleries thrived in New England more than a century ahead of the emergence of Bourbon
in the late 1800’s. Then, Scotch boomed, followed by Bourbon, Rye and Single Malt.
Today, there is a Rum Renaissance. Fine, aged Rums, made from syrup - not molasses -
are worthy of sipping slowly and are coming back, savored for their beautiful complexity and uniquely rich aromas.

3. Award Winning Richland Rum is handcrafted from pure sugarcane – including cane grown at the
proprietor’s Estate ‘Vennebroeck’ in Richland, Georgia - and natural water from the Georgia Aquifer, as the only
ingredients. Sourcing and processing of cane syrup, fermentation, distilling, aging and ultimately bottling are all handled
in house, or Field To Glass, creating a magnificent SINGLE ESTATE RUM.

4. founders Karin and Erik Vonk
“we are so excited to see how the come back
of the ‘once & future king of spirits’ – authentic rum –
is broadly celebrated, not only among rum connoisseurs,
but increasingly by bourbon, scotch and cognac aficionados”

5. Richland Rum
is meticulously crafted in Richland, Georgia, with locally grown sugar cane syrup and pure water from the Georgia
aquifer. Time honored techniques and artisan craftsmanship create an exquisite sipping Rum, winner of the
2014 ‘Flavor of Georgia Award’
handed by Governor Nathan Deal and Agricultural Commissioner Gary Black.
