The story
Privateer is led by Andrew Cabot, who drew on family history (a namesake ancestor was a merchant and privateer in the 18th century) to revive the craft rum tradition in New England. Industry sources and interviews report the business starting in the early 2010s (various sources indicate 2010–2011). Over the years Privateer has developed core lines (New England White, New England Reserve, Navy Yard, Queen’s Share) and a series of single-cask and special releases called Distiller’s Drawer.
Distillation
Double distillation: first pass in a pot still, then redistillation in a column with adjustable plates; plate configuration is varied to achieve lighter or richer profiles depending on the expression.
Ageing
Aging in barrels in the maritime New England environment; they use both stainless-steel maturation for white expressions and oak aging (including new American oak or used barrels depending on the release) for aged expressions; they also release single casks and cask-strength bottlings.
