All our rums are produced in house using a mix of raw ingredients. Organic molasses and raw organic cane pressing. We ferment it and distill at the distillery in Moidart.

We mature it in ex-bourbon quarter casks, prepared for us by Speyside Cooperage, where we collect them ourselves. There's no fixed maturation time — some casks give up their flavour quickly, others take longer, so it can be anywhere from a few months to whatever is needed. We taste the casks regularly and bottle each one when it's ready, not before, to avoid an over-oaked finish.

No. Nothing is added after distillation apart from water to bring it to bottling strength. The colour comes from the cask.

It is charcoal. Our rum matures in charred oak casks, and small flakes of char can come away from the wood. We filter the rum after it leaves the cask, but the occasional piece slips through. It is harmless, and you can leave it in the bottle where it will sink to the bottom.

We run mainly on solar power with a little LPG and have no mains connection - hence the Off Grid. In summer the sun does the work. In winter we plan production around what the weather allows and good batteries.
