Cayman Spirits Company (Seven Fathoms Rum)

Passengers Love this Rum! It is the only rum made on the island and is aged for a season at the bottom of the ocean! Passengers who know their rum say it is an excellent smooth sipping rum! Luis Ayala, noted rum expert and author shared this comment, “Shimmering light amber color with traces of orange and gold; aroma of vanilla, butterscotch and lightly toasted almonds. The body is light and slightly silky; the taste showcases a clean base with layers of vanilla, slightly toasted oak and a spicy and dry finish.” Many of my passengers buy right at the airport at Jacques Scott before they leave the island. Seven Fathoms is a Premium Rum hand crafted in small batches at their George Town distillery, near the airport, the first of its kind in the Cayman Islands. Why age at the bottom of the ocean? “The tide mimics the caring touch of a distiller rotating their barrels in a cellar to ensure good diffusion of the molecules through the barrel,” explains Walker Romanica. “Despite the diligence of even the most committed distiller, the waves are able to massage the rum with a far more consistent and steady precision.” Just as in Scotland, the distillers of Seven Fathoms have their own folklore. I was told that the evaporation rate is significantly less than that of the casks on land, and it is the Grand Cayman Mermaids—rather than the Scottish angels—who benefit from this occurrence.
