Owney's Original Small Batch Rum

Owney€™'s is a homage to the Owen €œOwney€ Madden who was a rum runner in Hell€™s Kitchen during the Prohibition. Rum has had a long history in NYC with distilleries on Staten Island during colonial times, so it made sense to Bridget Firtle, the proprietor of The Noble Experiment, to start her new project with delicious un-aged rum. Owney€™'s falls between a rum based of molasses and a sugarcane based rum like those made in Martinique. This is because she spares no expense on buying a molasses with a higher than usual sugar content. The rum has a delightful texture with hints of flowers and peach skin. Bridget€™'s rum has enough character to sip on its own, but is really delightful in a Daiquiri!
