Owney's Rum Original Small Batch Rum
Owney’s Rum Original Small Batch is a New York rum distilled in Brooklyn at The Noble Experiment — founder Bridget Firtle’s tribute to the era when rum running and small-batch distilling defined the city’s spirits culture.
Bridget Firtle is a native New Yorker descended from a long line of Brooklyn-based small-business owners, raised in a Rockaway Beach, Queens home with a once-bustling speakeasy for a basement — spirits culture ran in the family. The rum is named after famed New York City hustler Owen “Owney” Madden, an entrepreneur who dabbled in everything from backing boxers to opening speakeasies and made his biggest mark in bootlegging and rum running up the East Coast throughout Prohibition. In 2012, inspired by that history and a vision to bring rum distilling back to New York City, Bridget left her Wall Street job to found The Noble Experiment, the first exclusive rum distillery in NYC in nearly a century, and finalized the Owney’s recipe after years of build-out and trial-and-error on the still.
