Rock Paper

Rock Paper Rum is a testament to the art of rum making, a meticulously crafted spirit that encapsulates the essence of its origin. Distilled in small batches on the enigmatic Isla Escondida, this rum undergoes a precise aging process in selected oak barrels, allowing it to develop a complex yet incredibly smooth profile. It’s a versatile rum, perfect for savoring neat, on the rocks, or as the foundation for sophisticated cocktails, offering an experience that is both intriguing and profoundly satisfying.

The legend of Rock Paper Rum begins with the ancient islanders of Isla Escondida, who believed that the land, the sea, and the sky engaged in a perpetual, playful dance—a cosmic game of rock, paper, and the elements. Rock, representing the island's volcanic core and steadfast spirit; Paper (from the pulp of native trees), symbolizing growth, knowledge, and the delicate balance of nature; and the unbound energy of the 'Rum' itself, flowing like the ocean, ever-changing and unifying. Centuries later, in 2023, a group of adventurous distillers, inspired by these ancient tales and the island's untamed beauty, set out to capture this harmonious rivalry in a bottle. They sought out forgotten sugarcane varietals, unearthed traditional distillation methods, and embraced the island's unique aging conditions. Rock Paper Rum is their tribute to Isla Escondida, a spirit that embodies the island's playful heart and the enduring power of its elements, inviting you to discover your own balance.
