Cotton & Reed PX Dark Rum is a premium spirit crafted by Washington, D. C.'s first rum distillery, Cotton & Reed. This rum is produced from a blend of Louisiana and Brazilian molasses—75% first press and 25% blackstrap. After distillation, it undergoes aging for over 18 months in new American oak barrels, imparting rich vanilla and caramel notes.
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.
