Production method
Stolen operates as a brand that selects, blends and finishes distillates produced by third parties: for rum reported components include column‑distilled spirit from Trinidad & Tobago and pot‑still Jamaican components for some expressions; for whisky the brand sources distillates on the market (e.g. MGP) then ages and/or finishes them with smoked staves or in used barrels. Some expressions include added aromatic ingredients (coffee, vanilla, fenugreek) and smoking treatments with American wood.
Distillation
Sources indicate use of column‑distilled rum components (e.g. Trinidad & Tobago) and pot‑still components for Jamaican expressions; for whisky the brand uses sourced distillates (e.g. MGP) which are then aged and/or finished by the brand.
Ageing
Aging in used barrels (e.g. ex‑whisky / ex‑bourbon) and finishing with smoked/toasted staves; some expressions undergo short finishing in toasted barrels or on staves.
Producer history Stolen
According to industry sources the brand was founded in 2010 by two rum enthusiasts in New Zealand. Initially focused on rum (including smoked and overproof versions), the range was later expanded to whiskey and ready-to-drink products such as Rock & Rye. The brand has attracted investment from industry operators (including Liquid Asset Brands/Spirit Investment Partners) to expand distribution, particularly in the United States and other international markets.
Production philosophy
