Stonewall
DISTILLERY OVERVIEW
Stonewall, an artisanal rum distilled in small batches, is produced by Pennsylvania Pure
Distilleries, an independently run American distillery founded on the idea of creating
exceptional spirits using locally grown ingredients and packaging. They believe in quality over
quantity, which is why they make every single batch by hand.
Stonewall American rum is named for the fences along property lines in early colonial
American, which is noteworthy in the local lore of Pennsylvania. Rum was the precursor to
whisky in the colonies; it was produced and placed in barrels for transport, creating the aging
process naturally. Stonewall was designed to reflect the precursor flavor of a whisky with the
butterscotch flavor of a rum.
DISTILLING PHILOSOPHY
The production of Stonewall is meant to mimic the original colonial production of rum as
closely as possible. The mash consists of premium food-grade molasses made in Pennsylvania;
water, and yeast. The rum is double distilled in Stonewall’s 1,200-liter copper pot still and is
not charcoaled or filtered. Aged in new American white oak barrels with a medium char, the
length of time in the barrel varies on the time of year and temperature in the distillery. Each
barrel is individually tasted and blended to produce the signature taste profile. Stonewall is
bottled, corked, and dipped in wax by hand.
