The Story of Esther

A Queen

Queen Esther lived 2,500 years ago. No one could figure out where she was from.

A chemical

Fermentation-born “esters” shape rum’s complexity and character.

A Cane

The plant behind it all: sugarcane. After a 1-year planting cycle, the fields burn and grow again.

Rum has always belonged to everyone and no one: culturally ambiguous, claimed by every culture that touched it. Queen Esther was the same way.

Esther is was made for the person who didn't think rum was for them: the tequila drinker who loves clean spirits and didn't realize rum could fit the bill. A blend of unaged pot still and 4-year aged column still rum, Esther drinks like a premium reposado and costs less than one.

Founded by designers, spirit lovers, and mothers of three children each Emunah Winer & Margaret Kerr-Jarrett, Esther is the rum they always wanted to drink.

What Is Rum

Rum has always been a drink of rebellion, warmth, and gathering. But somewhere along the way, it got lost in sugary clichés and pirates. We're here to change that.

A single origin premium rum
