Lacassine, Louisiana

It started with an idea that came out of a duck blind conversation near the Lacassine Wildlife Refuge and some local sugar cane fields. Since Louisiana is the birthplace of sugar cane farming in the "new world," is the home of the biggest Mardi Gras party in America, has some of the greatest (and spiciest) food on earth and a place where our fiercely loyal citizens live every day to the fullest, we wondered why isn't someone creating a home-grown, high-quality Louisiana rum?Louisiana Spirits LLC, founded in 2011, operates the Bayou Rum Distillery in Lacassine, LA. The distillery was awarded the 2016 Attraction of the Year honors by Louisiana Travel and Promotion Agency. The world class distillery is located just east of Lake Charles on a 22 acre parcel on Interstate 10 south frontage road at Exit 48 Lacassine. BAYOU RUM is the #1 craft rum in America available in 44 states and shipping to over 50 countries after a successful launch in Louisiana in 2013. Bayou Rum won 116 awards (and counting) in tasting competitions in its first 3 years on the market. Check out www.bayourum.com for info and come visit the distillery and the visitor center. The team is distilling and bottling an authentic American rum from Louisiana sugarcane molasses and raw sugar. Bayou Rum is America's Rum!
