Handcrafted Excellence
Wicked Dolphin takes pride in using 100% Florida sugar and local ingredients to create their premium rums.
Each batch is handcrafted using a traditional American copper pot still—the largest in South Florida—to ensure unparalleled quality and flavor. Their aged rums, matured in American White Oak bourbon barrels, are a standout, with aging periods ranging from three to 14 years.
These rums offer a smooth, complex flavor profile that has earned them numerous accolades.
