Heart River Spiced Rum is an all-natural spiced rum from Big Dog Distillery in Bismarck, North Dakota, distilled in single-run copper pot stills and bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
Big Dog Distillery was founded in 2020 by Scott and Connie Beierle and is home to Heart River Spirits, a line of handcrafted rum and moonshine made without added sugars, artificial colors or flavors. The distillery sits in a small strip mall on South 3rd Street in downtown Bismarck, with a tiki bar and tours.
The single-run copper pot stills are designed to bring out the smoothest, richest flavor, and the spiced rum layers natural spice over that pot-still base. Because the products are all natural, they are best shaken before serving.
It is a warming, easygoing gift from the Northern Plains.
Aged rum is one of the most diverse spirits in the world, shaped by the sugarcane, the still and the warm climates where it matures, which speed up the interaction between spirit and wood.
Spiced rum gets its warmth from spices such as cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and vanilla, which pair naturally with the caramel notes of rum.
Pot stills make a heavier, more flavorful rum than column stills, which helps the spice stand out.
A rum and ginger beer with a squeeze of lime is one of the simplest and best ways to enjoy a spiced rum.
Spiced rum also shines in hot drinks, from mulled cider to a hot buttered rum.
Bismarck, the capital of North Dakota, sits on the Missouri River near where the Heart River joins it.
