We're opening a piece of rum history, and we want you to join us!

Recently a close friend of the owner came to us with an incredible bottle of Daniel Lawrence's Old Medford Rum dating back to 1892. It was in his mother's wine cellar and had been a gift to his father in the 1960's. After doing some research, we found out some cool info on the bottle: The Daniel Lawrence Distillery once prospered. Its high regard resulted in Daniel Lawrence rum selling at twice the price of other New England rums and fifty percent more than other Medford rums. Medford once supported four rum distilleries, the first dating to 1715; by 1830 it was down to just one, the Daniel Lawrence Distillery.
