What To Expect

Rum and the Caribbean Islands have been together for many generations. The tropical climate and breezy sun-kissed coasts have always been perfect to relax and enjoy rum.

St Thomas, also known as “Rock City”, is in the heart of the Caribbean and is world renowned as a jewel of the US Virgin Islands. Years ago, one of St. Thomas’ sons desired to create a unique rum that was distilled on the island. Rock City Rum understands that blending quality ingredients is the key to any rum, and through careful attention, the recipe for Rock City Rum was perfected and is available today.
