It's not yet...unless you can bribe Dan Watson (angelsword) with untold fortunes, he won't release his rum. Occasionally he gives it away for review. Unfortunately since it's not FDA certified, or wasn't, last I checked, he cannot sell it.

it's kind of like Crazy Eddy - "his prices are so low, he's INSANE!"

Our mad scientist Dan is crazier than Eddy... he gives it away. I felt obliged to trade him a bottle of Appleton 21 for two wonderful samples. He also brought 6 or 7 different rums to a tasting here in Coral Gables to the surprise and delight of four dozen of my best friends.

I was unaware that a distiller needed FDA approval...I am not against considering Spirits as a Food and Drug..at the same time, It can be a great time saver.

I know he needs ATF (or whatever they call it these days) approval. Then he has to comply with local State regulations..Which may be more daunting than the Feds.
Any elucidation?

I sampled the Apple Tree and the Cherrywood VSO. Both truly unique and smoooooth... the hand-written tag on the bottle says "Not for sale. Professional sample for research." So I researched it. Thoroughly. Then I double-checked my research just to be sure... yep, that's good rum.

My collection of rums is much bigger than it was this time last year. Between many good rums available here in Miami, friends and relatives that bring good stuff from afar and seeking out some good rums from the smaller producers and distributors, it's getting pretty interesting.

Bribery will not work since that might be construed as selling... which I am not licensed to do. HOWEVER! If one were to write a review...

I am getting ready to launch my blog, which will feature Rum reviews and cocktail discussions.

I would like to talk offline as to what it took to get your licensing to produce rum, for consumption, not necessarily for sale. Thanks,
Bobby

Try to get some Temptryst to Finland when you begin selling. Perhaps I could try to work as an agent here and recommend your products. ;)

[frenchrumlover]

The regulations are a bit daunting but Rum Runner is right, there is no FDA approval for beverage alcohol in the US, yet. Which is the good news.

A distiller must however have a federal distillers permit or they are considered a bootlegger. From there the regulations are a little cloudy depending on to whom you speak. Samples are a tricky wicket in the US. In some states it is illegal for a sales person to even allow a customer to sample the product in their store before they buy it.

As simply as possible, it is beyond the scope of this public forum to give you all the details, strictly for your security and the security of those who wish to enlighten your day with something you can't buy from your local store.

All ingredients do need FDA approval however.

I am currently researching what it might take to legally produce, and OMG there is a ton of paperwork. I am not sure how all of the bonds work, and how much I could potentially have to lay out. I really would like a chance at making some of my own Rum. I had a great time brewing and drinking my own beer. I can not believe how much the government puts in the path of a person who wants to legally distill.
