RUM, RECONSIDERED.
Rum has spent a long time being defined by sweetness.
We think that sells the spirit short.
Great rum starts long before anything goes into a barrel. Fermentation shapes flavor. Distillation defines character. Cuts require judgment. Barrels add another layer entirely.
At Copper Bottom, every one of those choices matters.
The goal isn’t to cover the spirit with sweetness. It’s to make rum with enough character to stand on its own.
RUM SHOULD TASTE LIKE RUM
COMPLEX. BALANCED. DISTINCTIVE. AND UNMISTAKABLY RUM.
MADE TO INNOVATE, NOT IMITATE.
THE IDENTITY OF AMERICAN RUM
American whiskey found its voice.
American craft beer did too.
Why not rum?
The United States doesn’t need to recreate what other rum-making regions already do extraordinarily well. We can respect centuries of tradition, learn from it, and still make something distinctly our own.
American rum can embrace experimentation. Different fermentations. Different grains and sugars. Different barrels. Different climates. Different ideas.
It doesn’t need to taste like bourbon. It doesn’t need to imitate Caribbean rum. It gets to become its own thing.
And we want Copper Bottom to be part of figuring out what that looks and tastes like.
WHY JEREMY?
THE MAN BEHIND THE MISSION
Jeremy has spent more than a decade making, studying and teaching spirits, with rum becoming the place where his curiosity, experimentation and bigger ambitions all came together.
What started at the still became something broader: a belief that American rum deserves more attention, more respect and a stronger identity of its own.
That belief is what drives America’s Rum Distiller™.
MASTER DISTILLER. EDUCATOR. RUM ADVOCATE.
AMERICAN RUM CAN BE MORE
Being America’s Rum Distiller™ isn’t just about what Jeremy makes at Copper Bottom. It’s about helping grow the category.
Through education, experimentation, collaboration, and a willingness to share what he’s learned, Jeremy wants to help more people — consumers and distillers alike — see the possibilities in American rum.
BUILDING A BETTER RUM
JOIN THE RUM-OLUTION
HELP MOVE AMERICAN RUM FORWARD.
America’s Rum Distiller™ is bigger than one bottle, one distillery or one way of doing things.
If you’re looking for a rum expert for press or media, interested in hands-on education, want Jeremy to guest distill, or have an idea for a collaboration, partnership, or event — we want to hear it.
