Our Hazelnuts are being harvested this month from Kirk Family Farms which neighbors Rogue’s hopyard in Independence, OR. The hazelnuts are toasted, and added to the still to infuse the rum during distillation. The picture above is of the beautiful hazelnut orchard. The sight is a common one in Oregon’s Willamette Valley which produces 99.9% of the Hazelnuts in the United States.
We were thrilled to receive the news that John’s Hazelnut Spiced Rum AND our Dark Rum made form 100% Hawaiian Cane Sugar both received gold medals at this year’s Ministry of Rum Competition.
