Jan Stephenson Pineapple Flavored Rum has brilliant golden amber color.

A fantastic pineapple rum with rich, complex flavors that perfectly bridges the fun and the serious. 94 – The Beverage Tasting Institute 2018 Best Flavored Rum

Jan Stephenson Mango Flavored Rum goes deep on the nose. Molasses kisses overripe Pineapple as a hint of dates and figs comes into play. The palate feel is spiced with white pepper and brown-sugared tropical fruit. 91 – Meredith May, The Tasting Panel June 2018
Jan Stephenson Passion Fruit Flavored Rum is a bit more light-hearted than its Mango sibling. The nose offers sweet – and authentic – guava and papaya notes warmed by a sunshiny tangerine addition. The palate reins in blackstrap molasses and gardenia with a finish that trends tropical. 91 - Meredith May, The Tasting Panel June 2018
Antelope Island Rum is an American white rum that offers aromas of Himalayan salt, vanilla, lime, and pineapple. The round, buoyant palate is dotted with salty notes of apricot, Asian pear, and butterscotch toffee, while the finish is long and luxurious. 92- Meredith May, The Tasting Panel June 2018
Antelope Island Red Rum has scents of black tea, dates, and orange peel with a hint of blackstrap molasses. The palate delves deep with black pepper, black olive, and anise. At 90 proof, the heat is tempered with sweeter notes of cedar and tangerine zest. 92- Meredith May, The Tasting Panel June 2018
We have been winning awards, competitions, and gaining high ratings since July 2016 with a 92 rating for Antelope Island Rum from the Got Rum? Publication. Dented Brick is serious about producing high quality rums and selling these rums nationally to consumers at best value pricing.
