Island Company is a resort and lifestyle
brand based in West Palm Beach, Florida. It was founded by Spencer Antle and launched
Rum Company in March 2010. Island Company Rum was made as a rum that
women could drink straight and yet appeal to the pirates and the rest of the
male population. The rum is distilled by
Angostura in Trinidad in column stills then aged three years in American
Whiskey barrels. A true rum starts with a sugarcane derivative, fermented and after
a 5 pass thru distillation, the liquid is essentially a neutral spirit
containing nearly no sugar. Straight up this expression has a pale gold color with a subtle buttery aroma, there’s a slight butterscotch and anise notes on the palate with slight notes of the barrel s well, the flavor is subtle yet complex throughout. There is virtually no burn from start to finish. Island Company Rum mixes well without losing its identity, it is suited well for higher end cocktails. With one cube of ice it makes a nice sipper. The light bodied mouth feel lends it to a relaxed time of relaxed enjoyment.
Available on the east coast, distributed by Breakthru Beverage Group throughout
Florida, Horizon Beverage for Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and Wolfpack Wine
& Spirits in New York and New Jersey. Distribution is expected to grow to other
areas as soon as possible. Bottled at 80 proof in 750 cc bottles and
priced at about $38.
