About Fathoms Below Spiced Rum:

“Since 1793, captains have reported sightings of a serpent-like creature moving beneath the waves of Lake Erie.  Mysterious and distinctive, this leviathan seemed the perfect inspiration for Fathoms Below.

Our Spiced Rum is vapor-infused with a 8-spice blend and aged on custom charred American White Oak.  Aromas of cinnamon, toffee, and candied ginger blend perfectly with smooth vanilla tones pulled from the wood.

Surprisingly dry and complex; Fathoms Below is a unique substitute for a snifter of bourbon, or the perfect addition to a nautical cocktail.

​Proudly distilled and bottled from scratch by Lakeward Spirits, 65 Vandalia St., Buffalo, NY.”
