Upcoming US Rum Releases of Interest — May 2025

Here’s a new list of upcoming rum releases for the US market compiled from TTB label certifications approved in April 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 99 rum labels in total this month, 34 are covered here. 

This month’s highlights include a new Foursquare, Appleton 51 YO, three releases from Cheramie, Tahitian rum from Down Island Spirits, a Savanna Lontan bottling, and more!

Commentary and Interesting Things

  • The folks at Twenty-One Wine and Spirits are at it again, registering labels that aren’t theirs for reasons known only to them. This month we have Velier’s Appleton Estate 1984 release, Telica 13 YO, and Damoiseau 15 YO.
