Richland Single Estate Old Georgia Rum
Richland Rum · Richland Distilling Company
Richland delivers something genuinely rare in American rum: a single-estate spirit made from cane grown, crushed, fermented, distilled, and aged entirely on one Georgia farm. The result is a rum of quiet integrity, where terroir isn't a marketing term but a verifiable promise. An excellent sipping rum that rewards patience and attention.
Nose
Warm butterscotch and toasted oak open the glass, followed by ripe banana and a thread of molasses-soaked brown sugar. Deeper inhalation reveals vanilla bean and a gentle herbaceous quality reminiscent of fresh sugarcane.
Palate
Medium-bodied and supple, with flavors of toffee, baking spice, and dried tropical fruit arriving in measured waves. A pleasant caramel sweetness is balanced by charred oak tannins and a touch of dark chocolate bitterness that keeps things honest.
Finish
Medium-length and warming, with lingering notes of toasted coconut, vanilla, and a final whisper of molasses that fades gracefully.

Cocktail Suggestion
The Covenant Old Fashioned — 2 oz Richland Single Estate Old Georgia Rum · 1 barspoon Demerara syrup · 2 dashes Angostura bitters · 1 dash orange bitters · Stir over a large ice cube · Garnish with an expressed orange peel
Food Pairing
A warm wedge of brown butter pecan pie with its caramelized, nutty custard mirrors the rum's toffee and toasted oak character, while the buttery pastry crust echoes the spirit's smooth, medium-bodied texture. A small dollop of lightly salted whipped cream bridges the sweetness.
From a single Georgia farm where every stalk of sugarcane is grown, milled, and distilled on-site, Richland represents American rum's most literal covenant between land and glass.
