Rogue Dark Rum is the dark expression of a number of rums offered by Rogue House of Spirits. They claim it smells of “stemmy oak” and finishes with a “spicy fade.”

Rogue Spirits is actually an extension of one of the first microbreweries in the Pacific Northwest (Rogue Brewery) founded in 1988 by several University of Oregon fraternity brothers and a home brewer. After a great deal of success, they branched out into microdistilling. The distillery is run by John Couchot in a traditional copper still and joined Rogue in 2006. They’re locally famous for trotting out different spirits to their beer drinkers, thrusting tasting glasses under the nose, and demanding, “Try this!” In this way, their informal focus groups inform their spirits production.
