About this bottle

Owney's Original NYC Rum is named after Owen Madden, a notable rum bootlegger and smuggler in New York during Prohibition. Today, Owney's rum is legally produced from all-natural, non-GMO molasses sourced from Florida and Louisiana. The molasses retains a significant sugar content due to partial refining. The mash ferments for five days before bottling, with no barrel aging. Production occurs at The Noble Experiment Distillery in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

Nickolas Mcdaniel 3.0

I appreciated it as a blend and used it as a mixer. It's not something I'd sip, but it was enjoyable in Piña Coladas. I'm uncertain if the purple bottle is the same, but it's a decent rum for what it costs.
