Great local rum and great owners! I did my first tour with Muddy River this past weekend. Muddy River has always been great to our pirate group, Scoundrels of the Seas, and they usually haul us in Charlotte's St. Patrick's Day parade.
The tour is 30 minutes, but you learn a lot about their history and of course, rum. Besides rum, they also package and carry a variety of moonshines. So on the tour, There's about seven different samples of rum and moonshine. Being a bourbon drinker, I really like Queen Charlotte's Reserve which is an aged rum. Of the moonshines, the ameretto flavor stands out. And the flavored rums are also tasty. I'm not usually a coconut rum person, but theirs is the best I tasted. We took home a bottle of the spiced rum which is smooth and has a great blend of spices.
Owners Robbie and Caroline are passionate about their product. Go and see them or you can find their products in some NC and SC stores and bars.
