Distilled history. Bottled rebellion. Sip with style.

Spirit of the Savage

Rum isn’t just a drink—it’s a story. National Rum Day, celebrated every August 16th, is a tribute to the smooth, spiced, and sometimes savage spirit that built empires, fueled revolutions, and still keeps the vibes flowing from the Caribbean to your rooftop party. From dark aged blends to sweet white rums, this isn’t just about getting lit—it’s about honoring the legacy of a drink that goes way deeper than the daiquiri.

First distilled in the 1600s in the West Indies, rum became currency, comfort, and controversy—sipped by pirates, traded by colonists, and later refined into today’s artisanal scene. Whether you’re sipping on a tropical cocktail, a handcrafted barrel-aged pour, or even a zero-proof infused mocktail, today is about indulging with flavor and flair. For the Classy Savage crew, it’s about celebrating freedom with every drop. You don’t just drink rum. You feel it.

Smooth fire. Historic soul. A toast to freedom in every pour.
