About Charbay Rum Sugar Cane

Miles Karakasevic, co-founder of Charbay Spirits is a 12th generation European winemaker and Master Distiller. Born in old Yugoslavia, he apprenticed in the tradition followed by the Karakasevic family since the 1750's.

After studying Enology and Viticulture at the University of Belgrade and in Germany, Karakasevic immigrated to the US in 1962, eventually settling in California in 1970. The Charbay distillery is located on a seventeen-acre property on Spring Mountain, an area which the Karakasevic family also calls home. After teaming up to import a still from Cognac, they began making their own wines and brandy in 1983.

In 2005, Miles and his son Marko set out with a vision of creating an ultra-smooth floral rum, from Hawaiian and Jamaican sugar cane syrup. Choosing to source these syrups for their highly aromatic profiles which have a fresh sugar cane fragrance. A decade later in 2015, Master Distiller Marko released the rum uncut and unfiltered to showcase the rum’s full profile.

Charbay’s Sugar Cane Rum is double distilled through Charbay’s classic 100% copper pot Alambic Charentais Pot Still. After distillation its aged for five years in a stainless steel vat, which they believe allows the fragrance molecule chains to form peacefully. Next, the rum is transferred to used French oak barrels for three years, where the second set of fragrance molecules are formed under the influence of oxygen and wood. Bottled at a barrel strength 137 proof, this rum was awarded 98 Points (Extraordinary, Ultimate Recommendation), at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge in 2016.

About Charbay

"Basically, we're an art endeavor expressed in alcohols and flavors," says Miles Karakasevic, Chabay Distillery's founder and master distiller. Thirty years ago, Karakasevic — a 12th generation Master Distiller — emigrated to California and became a pioneer in the American craft spirits movement by opening the doors to one of the first craft distilleries in the United States. Three decades later, Karakasevic continues to release some of the most unique and interesting spirits in the world.

Charbay R5 Hop Flavored Whiskey is the product of a marriage between two of California's finest institutions: Charbay Distillery and Bear Republic Brewery. The whiskey is crafted by distilling bottle-ready Racer 5 IPA (7% ABV), a craft beer brewed by the Bear Republic Brewery. Racer 5 IPA is a full-bodied beer that is made from American ale and crystal hops, and is heavily hopped (the beer includes Chinook, Cascade, Columbus, and Centennial hops).

About Rum

Rum history allegedly started in the Carribiens in the 17th century when they started to ferment and distill molasses, a byproduct of sugar production. Most of the Rum is aged in oak or ex-wine casks, giving its color and flavor.


We distinguish between 4 different Rum categories, where white or unaged rum is mainly used in cocktails, while dark, spiced, and añejo (aged) rum are mostly enjoyed neat.
