Humboldt Distillery Spiced Rum

Humboldt Distillery opened in Fortuna, California in 2012 as the first micro-distillery on the North Coast, and founder Abe Stevens, a fifth-generation Humboldt County native trained in chemistry and biochemistry, still owns and runs it outright. The distillery works in small batches with certified organic ingredients and water from the local redwood watersheds. This certified organic Spiced Rum starts with organic sugarcane grown and milled in the USA, double distilled first through a custom column still and then a pot still, before it's spiced and bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof). The distillery describes hints of vanilla, allspice and fruit, and BevX, which rated it 4 stars, found a brilliant golden color, a nose of fresh fruit compote accented with vanilla bean, allspice and baked apple, and a fruit-driven palate flanked by brown baking spices and sweet vanilla, medium-bodied and never cloying. Their verdict: an adult, even sophisticated take on spiced rum, without the syrupy sweetness of the mass-market brands. Serve it chilled over ice with a squeeze of lime, top it with ginger beer, or do as the distillery suggests and use it to spike hot cider or top off a glass of eggnog.
