Striped Lion Distilling was founded by Kevin and Erin Wright, married rum enthusiasts whose rum collecting endeavors and interest in science have merged to conceptualize a craft distillery that focuses primarily on rum. The couple has spent the past decade plus collecting rums – turning an initial curiosity about the nuance of aged rum into more than a decade of learning about rum production and processing, and about its use in cocktails and cuisine.
They produce various expressions of rum and rum-based liqueurs using organic molasses and all natural botanicals. They have a tasting room where guests can enjoy experiencing craft cocktails. This distillery is 100% black-owned and is also majority woman-owned.
