Van Brundt Stillhouse's Due North Rum is distilled from organic, unprocessed Himalayan sugarcane. Notes of vanilla and molasses recall grandmother's cookies, while the fresh charred barrels make this a whiskey lovers' rum. The name and nautical label come from a sailor's lore that when at sea they were afforded a ration of Grog every day. Often the Grog was more water than rum, but when they had performed valiantly or were in for heavy weather or a bruising fight, the captain would dole out a little more fortitude in the ration. When the ration was pure rum, the sailors would say it was "Due North"
