Description
Muddy River Distillery
Our story starts the way it does for most entrepreneurial leaps of faith: we left jobs that were unfulfilling to follow our passion. Our passion is distilling rum. Our early days of research and development triggered an obsession to create a fine spirit that we were proud of, and one that others would enjoy. Once we nailed down our first recipe, we knew we were on to something. All that was left was finding a way to bring it to the masses.
In 2011, after renting 500 square feet of space in an old textile mill that we found on Craigslist (seriously), we opened the first rum distillery in North Carolina roughly 50 yards from the “muddy” Catawba River, which gave Muddy River Distillery its name. Soon, by working on the weekends, we were producing 35 bottles of rum a day. We were pretty proud of that.

Tasting Notes
Queen Charlotte Reserve has enough flavor and smoothness to be enjoyed alone. We have heard from our customers and reviewers that they generally don’t find rum a “solo sipping drink” but change their tune once they taste this product. Try our collection of concoctions below that highlight this aged rum.
