A Great Souvenir

After you stop in and learn all about how they make their rum, swing by their shop and pick up a bottle! They make great souvenirs for remembering all about the process Siesta Key uses. Still unsure about which bottle you should pick up? Here’s a small guide to help you!

Running at around $20 a bottle, the Siesta Key Silver Rum is the perfect run as a base. If you’re looking for a rum to mix with cola or juices, this is the one for you. It’s the perfect base for all cocktails. It’s said that the small-batch silver rum is “as smooth as beach glass.”

For their traditional spiced rum, you’ll be spending roughly around $26 a bottle. This small-batch spiced rum is infused with authentic spices using old-school methods. Siesta Key then adds a bit of honey for sweetness. They make sure never to add any artificial sweeteners or flavors. They want you to have the purest taste! This rum has been awarded the Rummy award for best-spiced rum for many years in a row. It’s a must-try!

Also sitting at around $26 a bottle, the Siesta Key Toasted Coconut is another perfectly handcrafted small-batch rum. They have infused this rum with natural toasted coconut. Like with their spiced rum, they don’t use artificial flavors or sweeteners. This gives you the purest and most authentic taste of rum every time. By using real toasted coconuts, they stand out from the rest of the rum industry. While other companies use liquid flavoring, Siesta Key does not! They believe that the effort is worth it.

Are you looking for a different flavor? Their Beer Barrel Spiced Rum opens a whole new world for a new and exciting flavor. Siesta Key collaborates with craft brewers in the area to create this rum. The rum is aged in used beer barrels to infuse the rum with a light beer flavor.

While you’re at the distillery, you can pick up a special bottle. The Distiller’s Reserve has a personal touch only sold in the distillery tasting room. Made for the distiller’s enjoyment, everyone loved these batches so much that the distiller made even more! There’s a limited quantity of bottles, so make sure you get your bottle fast! Each batch spends time in bottles and uses the solera method to bottle. The fullest flavors of honey, spices, and Florida Cane sugar get refined over time with this method. This creates the best possible rum to enjoy however you like.
