Cap & Cane Spirits
Cap & Cane Spirits is a collection of small batch rums distilled and bottled at our distillery in Durham. Each bottle tells a story of two great companions, curiosity and adventure. The journey of our rums start in Latin American and the Caribbean, where sugar cane is cultivated to be transformed into the rum’s heart and soul. Once in North Carolina, it is then carefully transformed into rum through double pot distillation in our two copper pot stills.
CAP & CANE SPIRITS
White Rum
Our white rum is made primarily of the highest-grade fancy molasses available, produced from pure sugarcane juice which is condensed, inverted and purified.
The molasses is blended with evaporated cane juice, then double batch distilled in our two copper pot stills only to 80% abv or 160 proof to retain the sweet, delicious expressiveness of the molasses and cane juice. The result is a product of true passion, with round flavors full of caramel, vanilla and tropical fruit.
