Three Barrels.
One Unforgettable
Rum.
Crafted from panela and molasses, separately aged in Sherry, Port, and Bourbon barrels, then expertly blended for a rich, smooth finish.

Born in Fort Lauderdale and crafted with a respect for traditional rum-making, Gulf Stream Distillery’s Barrel Aged Florida Rum brings together techniques inspired by both Jamaican and Barbadian rum traditions to create something distinctly our own.
We begin with an open fermentation, developing deep, expressive flavors before aging the rum across three different cask types: Sherry, Port, and Bourbon barrels. Each barrel contributes its own character before the three are carefully blended together, creating layers of rich fruit, warm spice, oak, and natural sweetness.
What you won’t find is just as important as what you will. No added sugar. No sweeteners. No additives. Just thoughtfully fermented, barrel-aged rum presented without shortcuts or unnecessary enhancements.
The result is an unadulterated Florida rum experience—bold, complex, and packed with flavor from the first sip to the finish.
Florida-born. Traditionally inspired. Naturally bold.

Stiltsville stands just offshore of South Florida, where wooden houses on stilts once welcomed boaters, fishermen, and the rumrunners who traveled the Gulf Stream during Prohibition. Inspired by this bold coastal history, Gulf Stream Distillery crafts this Florida Rum from Panela and Molasses and aged to a smooth, rich finish — a tasteful tribute to the spirit of those who made their living on these waters.
Our Barrel Aged Florida Rum continues that tradition — a spirit inspired by bootlegged rum but crafted with Gulf Stream Distillery’s Florida roots, small-batch process, and dedication to quality.
At Gulf Stream Distillery, we believe exceptional rum begins with tradition and is perfected through innovation. Our Barrel Aged Florida Rum combines two distinct Caribbean rum-making techniques, inspired by the rich traditions of Jamaica and Barbados. Using an open fermentation process, we develop a bold, naturally complex spirit that captures the true character of handcrafted rum.
What truly sets our rum apart is our unique three-barrel aging and blending process. Rather than relying on a single barrel type, we separately age our rum in three distinctive casks, each contributing its own character and depth:
- Sherry Casks – Aged 3 Years, 1 Month: Developing rich, layered complexity and deep fruit-forward characteristics.
- Port Casks – Aged 2 Years, 7 Months: Contributing a smooth, rounded profile with subtle notes of dark fruit and natural sweetness.
- Bourbon Barrels – Aged 1 Year, 11 Months: Bringing warm oak, vanilla, and caramel-like characteristics that complement the final blend.
Once each rum has reached its desired maturity, all three are carefully blended to create one exceptionally balanced, full-bodied Florida rum.
No added sugar. No artificial sweeteners. No additives. Unlike many commercially produced rums, we allow our fermentation, barrel aging, and blending processes to speak for themselves. Every layer of flavor comes naturally from the ingredients, craftsmanship, and time spent in the barrel.
The result is an unadulterated Florida rum experience that is rich in character, remarkably smooth, and packed with authentic flavor from the first sip to the last.

“At Gulf Stream Distillery, we wanted to create a rum that honors traditional Caribbean craftsmanship while showcasing what makes Florida spirits truly special. By combining Jamaican and Barbadian-inspired rum-making techniques with open fermentation, we’ve developed a spirit rich in natural character and complexity.
What truly sets our rum apart is the aging process. We individually age our rum in Sherry, Port, and Bourbon barrels before carefully blending all three to create a beautifully balanced final expression. We believe great rum doesn’t need anything extra, which is why we never add sugar, sweeteners, or additives.
The result is a bold yet remarkably smooth Florida rum, packed with authentic flavor and meant to be enjoyed exactly as it comes from the barrel.”
