Review: Crusoe Organic Silver Rum
Crusoe Organic Silver Rum is hand crafted by the husband and wife team of Melkon Khosrovian and Litty Mathew at the Greenbar Distillery. Tru Organic Vodka and Gin, Slow Hand Organic Whiskey and IXA Organic Tequila are also crafted by this team. Greenbar was the first legal distillery in Los Angeles California since prohibition. The Crusoe name was inspired by Robinson Crusoe. Crusoe Silver is made with organic molasses fermented slowly with white wine yeast and double distilled in small batches. The rum is micro oxygenated, a technique used by California wine makers to mellow out their tannic reds. This process replaces the traditional barrel aging and charcoal filtering Caribbean distillers use to make their silver rums. Read more

They claim to use 25% more natural coconut flavor and they bottle it at 20% alcohol which is the lightest alcohol content I’ve seen for a coconut flavored rum. Read more
Review: Blue Chair Bay Banana Rum

This is the same distillery where Malibu and Cockspur rums are made. As the sole owner, Kenny Chesney put up millions of dollars to launch Blue Chair Bay rum last year.
