Privateer - Navy Yard - Barrel Proof Rum | American Rum

Our Navy Yard rum is a nod to Massachusetts’ storied history of rum distilling and imbibing.

Made in the New England tradition, from 100% Molasses, it is double distilled and aged in 53 gallon new American oak barrels. This style of rum was drunk on the ships, farms, and in the pubs of early America. We craft this rum in honor of New England’s rich history to enjoy in front of the fire, on the rocks, or to add depth and power to your rum old fashioned or daiquiri.

Privateer are named after Andrew Cabot an 18th Century merchant and distiller of rum who became a highly successful Privateer smuggling molasses into America. The current owner of Privateer is also called Andrew Cabot and is six generations removed from the original Privateer.
