PRIVATEER RUM ANNOUNCES TOURS OF NEW EXPANDED DISTILLERY

IPSWICH, MASS (September 18, 2014) – Located in the Greater Boston area, Privateer Rum, announced today that it will offer tours of its newly expanded distillery beginning October 3, 2014. Now opened to the public for the first time, Privateer Rum will provide exclusive guided tours offering a fascinating look inside Privateer’s proprietary process of elevating the quality of American rum since it was first created in 2011. The expanded facility is now over 18,000 square feet and is the largest rum distillery in Massachusetts.

Privateer’s expert production team will escort rum-lovers through every production step demonstrating how using the highest-quality ingredients and time-honored techniques of the finest brandy and whiskey makers result in America’s purest top-shelf rum. The production team will share how Privateer Rum relentlessly focuses on quality at every point in the production process, rejecting common industry practices including the use of sweeteners and artificial colorings or flavorings.

The tour ends with a tasting of Privateer’s Silver Reserve and True American Amber Rums in addition to a taste directly from the barrel, showcasing the quality stemming from its roots in 18th century American patriot and privateer, Andrew Cabot, the direct ancestor of Privateer Rum’s founder and CEO of the same name.
