Detailed Description
New York City’s first small-batch rum distillery since Prohibition, Due North is distilled from organic, unprocessed sugar grown by a small family of farmers in the foothills of the Himalayas, and sun-dried using an Ayurvedic (or ancient Hindu) process. After the sugar and yeast are poured by hand into tanks and allowed to ferment, the wash is then distilled inside a 125 gallon handmade copper-pot still. After distillation, the rum is allowed to age in new American oak casks for approximately four months, before Schlesselman fills and labels each bottle by hand. It took five years of planning and experimentation, along with training sessions at distilleries in Scotland and in the United States, before Schlesselman was able to perfect the recipe for Due North Rum.

Distillery Information
Van Brunt Stillhouse honors the pioneering spirit of Cornelius Van Brunt and the sailors who were forced to endure grog with Due North Rum. “I love the history of rum,” said Daric Schlesselman, owner and master distiller of Van Brunt Stillhouse. “It was a huge part of the economy in the pre-Colonial northeast, not to mention the standard drink aboard the ships that sailed to and from Brooklyn.”
