A new premium rum blended from rums from the Caribbean and Latin America

Palm Republic

A new premium rum is being released, backed by Eric Winter — the actor  starring on ABC’s The Rookie. Palm Republic rum will come in both an aged and silver form, having been developed over the last two years to create a unique blend of flavors from across the Caribbean and Latin America.

“To me this is not just another celebrity spirit, this is a passion of mine for the past 20 years,” said Winter. “I fell in love with rum when I went on my first trip to Puerto Rico with my now wife Roselyn Sanchez. It was then that I started to appreciate all of the different nuances premium rum had to offer. I mean this when I say it, the real star here is our unique blend of rum that is Palm Republic! As it should be. It’s what today’s consumer deserves in this flooded market of celebrity spirits.”

The Silver variety of Palm Republic is 80 proof, and is a blend of rums from Jamaica and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It has notes of banana, vanilla, and sugar cane, with a creamy texture and medium body.

The Aged variety is 92 proof, and is a blend of rums from Panama, Jamaica, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It is aged for eight years in sherry casks, to develop notes of dark chocolate, caramel, and molasses. This is the more full-bodied of the two, with warm sugar notes and hints of spice.

The rums are made with no added flavors or colors, and the Palm Republic Rum brand was awarded a Gold Medal at the San Francisco Spirits competition. The brand is currently available on store shelves in Florida and can be shipped to other states in the U.S.

When I first started writing about the world of spirits, the first thing I learned was the definition of alcohol. Without learning that, it would be pretty difficult to write about gin, vodka, whiskey, or any other hard liquor.

This is what I learned: in the simplest terms, alcohol (also known as ethanol) is a liquid that’s made from the natural fermentation of sugars interacting with yeast. It has an intoxicating effect and, while it’s also used for fuel and other purposes, it’s often enjoyed as a drink. As a drink, alcohol is either a wine, beer, or spirit. And while we write about all three, today, we’re most interested in the latter.

Organic New Orleans Style Artisan Blend with Chicory

Just in time for Mardi Gras, Fresh Roasted Coffee has announced a new chicory coffee blend with a rich, smooth tribute to Louisiana's coffee tradition. Known for its sustainable coffee options, Fresh Roasted Coffee has crafted this coffee blend to capture the rich history and bold flavors of New Orleans with the new Organic New Orleans Style Artisan Blend. It is highly acclaimed as a smooth and delightfully rich coffee blend that brings together organic coffee and Positively Botanicals’ Organic Chicory to create a perfect balance of tradition and taste.
The Organic New Orleans Style Artisan Blend honors Louisiana's unique coffee culture, which dates back to the Civil War era. Coffee shortages led to the innovation of adding chicory root to coffee. This inventive blend quickly became a beloved staple in the South, particularly in New Orleans, where it remains an essential part of today’s coffee culture. The New Orleans locals enjoy their chicory coffee with some sugar and steamed milk, but this blend is delicious no matter how you take it.

Fresh Roasted Coffee has a unique process for this special blend. They've taken their customer-favorite Arabic coffee into a French roast, which is then blended with Positively Botanicals' organic Chicory Root.
