THE FORMIDABLE GERTRUDE LYTHGOE
aka “GERTIE”
It all started with a tale of the Mysterious Liquor Boss, Gertrude Lythgoe; rum running female of the Prohibition era. The Queen of the Rum Row, leading the revolution for a rum-soaked future with brains, beauty and breath-taking fury. Gertrude Lythgoe was the fiery orchestrator of a highly profitable liquor shipping operation. A smuggler of rum (and other liquor) to the U.S, through the Bahamas in the 1920s.
Gertie’s Prohibition Craft Rum is inspired by her story.

GERTIE’S WHITE
WASH RUM
There is a slight gold tint to the white rum which is left from the barrel and this is the uniqueness that we want as to be different in the market place but also to still retain some of the lovely woodiness from the barrel.
PREMIUM DARK
GOLD RUM
Using a unique wine yeast, the rum is triple distilled using a still and then placed in ex Bourbon American Oak barrels to mature and extract colour, for a minimum of 6 months.
