Our History
A rum made in honor of one of the greatest men of the seas, produced with more than 100 years of tradition in the liquor industry.
A Tribute to the Conqueror of the Caribbean
Rums can be named after pirates, using creative names or named after historical places representative of the rum world, but we chose to name our rum after an English gentleman from Queen Elizabeth I’s court: Sir Walter Raleigh.
An extraordinary Caribbean Rum handcrafted in honor of a legendary character of cult, eternal treasure hunter, poet, historian, favorite courtier of Queen Elizabeth,
intelligent man-at-arms, winner of a thousand battles, daring navigator and Lord of the Caribbean Sea, and forerunner of the greatness of the most important maritime empire in history.
A tribute to his memory as one of the most courageous, visionary, seductive and elegant gentlemen of his time. A magnificent rum worthy of his feats, made for conquerors.
Who was Sir Walter Raleigh?
“Happy is he who is to the size of his dreams, but happier is he who conceives them so exorbitant that one life would not suffice to exhaust them.”
-From the book: Discovering the rich, great and elegant pirate of El Dorado.
A highly versatile and multifaceted character, Sir Walter Raleigh was born in 1552 in East Budleigh, England. Having been born to a Protestant family of the British gentry that suffered religious persecution during the reign of Mary I of England, also known as “Bloody Mary”, the young Raleigh begins to develop an ideological foundation which would lead him to become one of the most emblematic characters of the Elizabethan era.
To propose himself to rise from the landed gentry to the highest positions of the Royal court, to be the favorite suitor and lover of a magnificent Queen, Queen Elizabeth I, to conquer the greatest treasure from the New World in the mythical kingdom of El Dorado, all at the same time, seem like plans to fill more than one existence.
A character of sweeping elegance, a great poet in the times of the greatest English poets such as Shakespeare and Marlowe, writer of a Universal History by heart, weaver of treatises on political philosophy, precursor of modern alchemy in search of the transmutation of metals and medicinal elixirs, colonizer of the New World, promoter of tobacco and other riches of the new world, victorious leader of battles with attacks as undisciplined as impetuous, a warrior as fierce as intelligent, that marked the history of the world with events that seemed projects to occupy more than a hundred lives.
Regardless of whether some of these plans seemed like chimeras: it was merely a triumph to conceive them, and an inconceivable victory to fulfill most of them.
