Powder [tm] White Rum is Syntax Spirits' modern Colorado take on a spirit that dates back to the 14th century. We make our rum from traditional raw ingredients and don’t add sugar back after distillation. Each batch of our award-winning rum starts with 100% American dark cane molasses from Florida. We combine that with pure Rocky Mountain whitewater from the local Wild and Scenic Poudre River and ferment it on-site in our distillery. Finally, we distill it in unique, handmade copper-and-stainless-steel fractionating column stills.
We distill our rum to let the natural, rich, malty flavors of the molasses shine through while keeping it smooth enough for sipping straight or on the rocks. Look for flavors of rich vanilla, nougat, meringue, smooth caramel, malt, sweet cereal, and brown sugar. It’s equally at home in a mojito, caipiriniha, or hot buttered rum...try it in any of your favorite rum drinks.
Powder won a prestigious Good Food Award in 2012 for great taste and responsible production, and was also featured nationally in Wine and Spirits magazine in 2013. In 2014, Powder won a silver medal for taste and a bronze medal for packaging in the MicroLiquor International Spirits Awards. Label art is designed by well-known pinball artist Greg Freres, and depicts what distillery owner Heather Bean looks like in her head while tele-skiing in the Rockies...if only she looked more like Rihanna, knew how to snowboard, and saw the sun much more often.
