Cotton & Reed Mellow Gold is a gold rum produced by Cotton & Reed Distillery in Washington, D. C. This rum is crafted by aging their white rum base in used bourbon barrels for several months, which imparts notes of spice, vanilla, and honey. A small amount of sweet woodruff herb is then infused to add a unique floral character.
Cotton & Reed is Washington, D. C.'s first rum distillery, established in 2016 by Reed Walker and Jordan Cotton, former NASA engineers. Their distillery, located in the NoMa neighborhood, offers a range of rums, including white, dry spiced, and allspice dram varieties.
