Newfoundland Screech rum, a beloved spirit on the East Coast, originates from the beautiful province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. This unique rum is crafted by Rock Spirits, a company dedicated to producing high-quality, authentic spirits.
One of the key ingredients in Newfoundland Screech rum is imported Jamaican rum. Jamaica has a long history of rum production and is renowned for its flavorful and aromatic rums. By incorporating Jamaican rum into the blend, Newfoundland Screech gains a depth of character and complexity that is highly sought after by rum enthusiasts.
Additionally, water sourced from Newfoundland is used during the production process of Screech rum. Newfoundland is known for its pristine and pure water sources, which contribute to the overall quality of the final product. The use of local water adds a distinct touch of authenticity and terroir to the rum, as the characteristics of the water can subtly influence the flavor profile.
To enhance the visual appeal of the rum, Rock Spirits adds caramel color and flavoring to the blend. This not only gives Newfoundland Screech its rich, amber hue, but also adds a touch of sweetness and depth to the flavor profile. The caramel color and flavoring are carefully selected and added in precise amounts to achieve the desired result, ensuring a consistent and enjoyable drinking experience.
As the quality control manager at Rock Spirits, I have had the pleasure of personally overseeing the production of Newfoundland Screech rum. It is truly a labor of love, with attention to detail at every step of the process. From sourcing the finest Jamaican rum to carefully blending it with Newfoundland water, each element is meticulously chosen to create a rum that is unique and representative of the East Coast spirit.
Newfoundland Screech rum has a long and storied history in the region. It has been enjoyed by locals for centuries, and has become an integral part of Newfoundland and Labrador's cultural identity. In fact, Screech has even become a symbol of initiation and acceptance into the province's community through the traditional “Screech-in” ceremony. This ceremony involves taking a shot of Screech, reciting a specific phrase, and kissing a codfish, symbolizing a bond with Newfoundland and its people.
Newfoundland Screech rum is a blend of imported Jamaican rum, water from Newfoundland, caramel color, and flavoring. It is a spirit that is deeply rooted in the culture and traditions of Newfoundland and Labrador. The dedication to quality and the use of carefully selected ingredients ensure that each bottle of Newfoundland Screech delivers a rich and authentic drinking experience.
