I’m from Kentucky, where bourbon isn’t just a drink; it’s part of who we are. But my eyes were truly opened during a corporate assignment in England – spirits, I realized, weren’t just beverages. They were bridges. Across oceans, through time, connecting me back to my roots when I was far from home.

Yet, it was rum that called to me from the horizon. Sailing in the Caribbean, I discovered its purity, its elegance. It wasn’t just another drink. It was adventure, captured in a glass.

My transition from bourbon to rum started with distillation courses. With a bourbon-soaked background, I pondered: Could rum be crafted as purely, as authentically?

A journey that took me to panama

After leaving my corporate life behind, I followed my passion and found an opportunity. High-quality, genuine rum was a path less trodden. I took the plunge, armed with a vision to infuse bourbon’s authenticity and craftsmanship into the rum world.

Thus, Grander Rum came into being. No additives. Just water, yeast, molasses, oak, and time. My quest took me to Panama, to the artisans who have been making rum for generations. Their tradition, their craftsmanship, mirrored my own vision. Together, we distilled something real.

Grander Rum is my remarkable catch, shared with the world in the hopes of inspiring others to embark on their own journey into the art of fine rum. For me, rum is not just a drink; it’s a medium through which to experience culture, tradition, and the joy of exploration.

I'm on a mission to change how people think of rum

My goal is to get more people interested in good rums. Many non-rum drinkers who try Grander are astounded. We are proud to be among those that challenge the perception of rum.

Every bottle of Grander bears witness to my hands-on involvement and dedication to quality. From selecting barrels and approving every single batch, to creating unique blends and insisting on bottling at 90-proof, my vision and passion are evident in every drop. Grander Rum stands as a beacon of tradition, quality, and authenticity in the spirits world. This isn’t just rum. It’s a slice of tradition, a dash of authenticity, and my relentless pursuit of excellence.

From Kentucky’s fields to Panama’s shores, my journey is about more than just creating a brand. Grander Rum is a piece of my heart, offered to the world. It stands for adventure, for unity, for the bridges we build with every glass shared.

I invite you on this journey. Discover fine rum the way it was meant to be with Grander.

Reach for something Grander and challenge your own perception of rum.
