Loft & Bear Artisanal White Rum: The Bold, Unfiltered Spirit of Los Angeles Craft

Discover a new dimension of white rum with Loft & Bear Artisanal White Rum, a testament to modern craft distillation from the heart of downtown Los Angeles. Breaking from traditional rum-producing regions, Loft & Bear brings an urban edge and a meticulous, hands-on approach to creating a pure, unaged spirit that stands out for its clarity and character.

Loft & Bear Distillery, one of Los Angeles' pioneering craft distilleries, prides itself on a philosophy of authenticity and innovation. Their Artisanal White Rum begins with the careful selection of premium sugarcane molasses. This high-quality base material undergoes a slow, controlled fermentation process, designed to develop a rich spectrum of aromatic compounds. The spirit is then meticulously distilled in a custom-built copper pot still. This traditional method allows for precise cuts, capturing only the purest and most flavorful heart of the distillate, while enhancing its natural sweetness and complex aromatics.

As a "White Rum" or "Blanco" expression, Loft & Bear's creation is unaged, or rested for a very short period, and then precisely filtered to maintain its crystal-clear appearance without stripping away its vibrant character. The result is a rum that is incredibly clean on the palate, yet remarkably full-bodied and expressive, challenging the perception of what an unaged rum can be. Bottled at a versatile 40% ABV (80 Proof), it's crafted to be both a superb mixer and a contemplative sipper.
