Sergeant Classick Gold Hawiian Rum

Dave ‘Sgt.’ Classick, a highly decorated Vietnam veteran, returned from combat and fell in love with the Hawaiian Islands. In seeking his true vocation, he discovered a talent for making (as well as drinking) fine rum. And thus, seeing the islands with sugar cane stretching as far ass the eye could see, he set out o create his own.

Now you too can share in Sgt. Classick’s affection for exotic spirits. Crafted in the traditional manner of fine rum makers the world over; each batch is hand-distilled in the finest alambic copper pot stills and gathered in pails a few drops at a time. Sgt. Classick’s rum has a depth of flavor unlike any rum you’ve ever tasted.

Before you even open the bottle, the look and feel of this package invites you to close your eyes and be transported by the spirit that lies within. As intoxicating as a Hawaiian sunset, the silky amber color is sustained by toasty vanilla and brown sugar notes in the nose. Like the molasses from whence it came, you almost expect it to be as sweet as it smells.

At first sip you are met by unsweetened cocoa, dried cherry and new suede followed by a crème brulée crust and dark roasted spice nuts. It finishes with singed cane stalk and a peppery spice fade. Prolonged exposure to oak provides it with a medium bodied character reminiscent of rums that have been aged for 3-5 years. Whether you sip it or try one of our signature cocktails you will find yourself with a genuinely rich, deeply content smile on your face that you didn’t even know was there.
