Crafted at the Kakira Distillery

Kakira is a “Field to Bottle” producer (also sometimes called “grass to glass”). As well as their own sugar cane estates, they also work with local sugar farmer partnerships growing sugar cane. The cane sugar is refined at the Kakira Sugar Refinery, where molasses are basically a by-product of sugar production.

The molasses is taken to the Kakira Distillery where it is fermented, distilled and aged. All of the spirits are bottled at the Kakira Distillery. Kakira produces a range of award-winning spirits with a focus on Rum, Vodka and Gin. Traditional copper pot stills are used for the rum, and column stills are used for Kakira vodka and gin production.

To Serve

Enjoy this dark rum neat or on the rocks or mix into classics like rum and cola, Dark & Stormy or other cocktails.
