Ramsdell's Parrot Dark Rum is a full-bodied Montana "bRum" from WildRye Distilling in Bozeman, made by fermenting locally sourced Montana beet sugar with dark cane molasses, then distilling and aging it, bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV).
WildRye carries on the frontier tradition of making use of what Montana offers, reducing its carbon footprint and supporting the state's agricultural heritage. Ramsdell's Parrot was one of the earliest copper mines in Butte, and a parrot is also the copper tool distillers use to test the proof of spirit coming off the still, as well as a pirate's best friend. The name tips a hat to Montana history and distilling tradition alike.
Rich and full-bodied, it is distilled and aged to a deep, polished warmth.
The vintage label makes it a fun Montana gift.
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.
