ABOUT SMUGGLER’S RESERVE
Rum-running, the organized smuggling of importing Rum and other liquor by sea and over land to the United States, became a highly profitable business once Prohibition took effect in 1920.
Smuggler’s Reserve is an ode to all the brave smugglers who continued to make Rum available in the US during Prohibition, by selling it to people still wanting to “wet their whistles”, or by selling it to speakeasy bars across the country.
Smuggler’s Reserve takes you back in time and lets you relive the many joyful moments people had after getting their hands on a bottle of “liquid gold” in times that drinking Rum was illegal.
