Saltwater Woody Real Lemon Rum

Saltwater Woody is an American rum company founded in 2018 in Louisville, Kentucky by Paul Heintzman and Matt Kenney, and its rums are distilled on the Florida coast and built around one idea borrowed from the kitchen: instead of cutting the spirit to proof with plain water, the distiller cuts it with saltwater. Salt draws out flavor, reduces bitterness and lifts sweetness and aroma the same way a pinch of it does in food, and the result is a rum that reads rounder and more fruit-forward than its 35% ABV (70 proof) suggests. The flavored bottlings are made with real fruit juice rather than artificial flavoring, and the brand was named Rum of the Year at the 2020 Bartender Spirits Awards before expanding into canned cocktails. Real Lemon followed the grapefruit bottling, blending the saltwater-cut American rum with lemon juice for a bright, citrus-forward rum that already tastes like the start of a cocktail. Top it with soda for a lemon rum spritz, build a quick mojito or a rum collins, or use it as the base of the brand's own canned lemon mojito at home, where the salt keeps the lemon lively rather than sour.
