The true American Rum Starter Kit is HERE!

 

Try three incredible rums from three distant distilleries showcasing some of the finest rum our country has to offer. 

 

Mainland Rum California 8 Year Single Barrel

Single Barrel • Barrel Proof • 128.0 Proof • Southern California

A true expression of American rum at its boldest. Distilled from molasses and matured for eight full years in a 53-gallon ex-bourbon barrel in Southern California, this single barrel is bottled at its natural barrel proof of 128.0 without chill filtration or dilution.

 

Rich waves of caramelized sugar, toasted oak, vanilla bean, dark toffee, roasted nuts, orange peel, and baking spice unfold into a remarkably long finish layered with charred oak and warm barrel spice. Every bottle comes from one barrel only, no blending, to capturing the unique character that time, climate, and wood created.

 

For whiskey enthusiasts looking to discover what American rum is capable of, this is a powerful introduction.

Mainland Rum Still Strength White Rum

Copper Column Distilled • 125 Proof • Open Wood Fermentation

This is white rum without compromise.

 

Produced from blackstrap molasses and fermented for two full weeks in open wood vats using the distinctive Schizosaccharomyces pombe (S. pombe) yeast strain, this spirit embraces techniques rarely found in modern American distilling. A full 40% fresh dunder is incorporated into fermentation, creating remarkable depth, complexity, and unmistakable character before a single drop reaches the still.

 

Rather than chasing neutrality, this rum celebrates fermentation itself—delivering layers of ripe tropical fruit, fresh sugarcane, green banana, citrus zest, olive brine, warm spice, and earthy funk with exceptional texture and length. Bottled at a full 125 proof, it remains vibrant, expressive, and unapologetically flavorful.

 

Whether enjoyed neat, in a daiquiri, or as the backbone of a serious tiki cocktail, this is a rum built for people who appreciate fermentation as much as distillation.

Mainland Rum Florida 7 Year Full Sherry Cask Matured

Limited Release • Full Sherry Cask Matured • 113.6 Proof

 

One of Mainland Rum's most distinctive releases, the 'forever sipper' - this seven-year-old Florida rum spent its entire maturation in a full 500-liter sherry cask, producing exceptional richness and complexity. With the originating distillery no longer in operation, this bottling represents a finite chapter in American rum history.

 

The nose opens with dried figs, raisins, orange marmalade, roasted almonds, and polished oak before evolving into layers of dark chocolate, baking spices, ripe cherries, and rich molasses. The sherry influence is unmistakable yet beautifully integrated, adding luxurious fruit character without overwhelming the rum itself. Bottled at its natural proof of 113.6, every sip delivers remarkable concentration, balance, and a lingering finish.

Once these bottles are gone, this exact release can never be recreated.
