Upcoming US Rum Releases of Interest — February 2025

Here’s a new list of upcoming rum releases for the US market compiled from TTB label certifications approved in January 2025. These are only label approvals recorded at the US TTB, so none of these are likely to be available yet and it’s anyone’s guess when they might appear in stores.

This doesn’t include every rum label approval, I’ve tried to triage the approvals to the brands that people would recognize, while also including other labels that might be interesting but excluding spiced/flavored products and most cachacas.

The TTB approved 130* rum labels in total this month, 22 are covered here. (see the last section at the bottom of the page for more information on the total count of labels for January).

Admin announcement and disclaimer

Excuse me for a quick break from the usual posts I make here. I’m excited to announce that I’ve recently taken a full-time job in in the beverage alcohol industry — I’m now the distiller at Richland Distilling Company’s second distillery in Brunswick, Georgia. I really couldn’t be happier, this is a great job with a great company in a fantastic small seaside town.

I’ll be posting here as usual, and you can also expect my Instagram and Facebook posts to continue as well. I do want to make it clear that my posts here are entirely mine. I’m not representing Richland Distilling Company at all here, they’re not reviewing or reading my posts, and nothing I say here should be credited to or blamed on them.

I do hope to provide some additional information about the production process here and on my social media accounts as time goes on. This would be done with the intention of sharing information and helping others and not as brand promotion. This would certainly be a grey area between the “nothing here represents the company” and “here’s what I’m doing at the company” ends of the spectrum, and I’ll need to figure out how that works when the time comes. But for the near term it’s business as usual here – just a rum and spirits fan posting news and things of interest to share with the community.

If you’re traveling through coastal Georgia, come by and visit me at the distillery! We’re right off I-95.
