Privateer
Privateer's founder’s ancestor, the original Andrew Cabot (1750-1791), was a merchant, rum distiller and successful American privateer during the American Revolution. His fleet totaled more than twenty-five ships including the True American, for which Privateer's rum is named. American privateers played a pivotal role in defeating what seemed an insurmountable foe, with courage and ingenuity that helped change the outcome of the Revolution. Privateer Rum follows suit, disregarding commonly accepted practices of larger rum producers including sweetening, flavoring, filtering and spicing industrial distillate, to establish a new standard in rum—one of honesty and purity. Best ingredients. Best practices. Never sweetened. Never filtered.
