Savannah Spirits Distilling Company announces the launch of its first distilled product, Savannah Spirits Silver Rum. Heavily inspired by Savannah’s colorful history and often pit stop location for history's most notorious rum-runners, the spirit reflects the distinctive character and provenance of the city and expresses this through its harmonious flavor infusions. Notes of vanilla and caramel, with hints of coconut and tropical fruits, concoct a balanced accompaniment for any summertime libation.

Co-founder Dean Bell commented on his excitement in the introduction of the company’s first release to the public, “This has been a long time in the making and to introduce Savannah Spirits to the Low Country starting with our rum, we feel, is the most apropos way to honor the bustling spirit of the region and its people, and to celebrate Savannah’s fanciful history.”

The maiden voyage of Savannah Spirits Silver Rum will take place regionally and will be initially distributed as a limited release. Plans for a larger network of distribution are scheduled for fall 2017 along with the launch of a premium vodka and gin.

Savannah Spirits Distilling Company is slated to open in early 2018 and will encompass a fully-functioning distillery with accompanying high-end liquor produced in-house. Additionally, the historical building in which the Distillery will be located will also house a separate chophouse featuring fine steaks and seafood, and occupy three stories with a full downstairs bar, event venue spaces, and a variety of dining rooms restored from antiquity.
