About this bottle

Rougaroux is a creature of Louisiana Cajun folklore who is known for lurking in the shadows of the cane fields, appearing only at the full moon to exact punishment on the wicked. Its curse is said to last 101 days, hence the proof of his namesake white rum. It's made from family-grown sugarcane and molasses, with the intention of producing a clear rum that has the punch of moonshine that's "not your grandmother's clear rum." Update: Donner-Peltier Distillers, the Thibodaux-based distillery, announced that it will cease operations after Monday, August 27, 2018.

The Spirit Whisperer 5.0

I was in New Orleans for Tales of The Cocktail and discovered this Louisiana made rum! Ryan at Cure introduced me to this neat and in a classic Daiquiri. Wow! For 101 proof you have a rum you could sip neat and you wouldn't know it's overproof. I took a peak at the distillery website and come to find out, this rum has won Double Gold Medal at San Francisco Spirits 2 years in a row.
