Rum, refashioned
Authentically Louisiana, Boldly Different.
At Wildcat Brothers Distilling, "Rum, Refashioned" is our mantra. We honor time-tested traditions while redefining what rum can be, blending artisanal craftsmanship with a modern twist.
From our locally sourced sugarcane to our small-batch, handcrafted process, every bottle tells a story of authenticity and ingenuity. We craft more than just rum—we create an experience.
Whether it's the bold, spiced kick of Fifolet, the smooth sophistication of Noire, or the adventurous zing of Sweet Crude Marie, each Wildcat Brothers rum is "Authentically Louisiana, Boldly Different."
Join us in celebrating the spirit of the Acadiana, poured into every glass.
Wildcat Brothers Distilling: where heritage meets innovation and every sip is an invitation to refashion the way you experience rum.

FIFOLET SPICED RUM
Our spiced rum is warm, smooth, and just a little mischievous. Boasting flavors of the old French South, this lively rum is full of character.

Making Our Louisiana French-Style Rum
Anyone can make rum, but very few can harness the unique character of Louisiana sugarcane to make craft rum like a true Acadian. With modern distilling techniques, local ingredients and the power of our still, Zula, our rum flavor is sweet, clean and just the right amount of bold.
1. HARVEST
To appreciate the process, you have to start at the beginning. We’re proud of the fact that our raw ingredients are derived exclusively from local crops as sugarcane crystals, and processed by the almost 200-year-old sugar mill right down the road.
2. Ferment
Our locally-harvested materials are guided through a meticulous process to create pure sugarcane syrup. That syrup is then fermented to convert sugar crystals into pure alcohol, eliminating the cloying notes that may otherwise be more evident in a traditional molasses-sweetened rum.
3. Distill & Age
Finally, the rum is harvested from the mixture using a proprietary method, developed onsite by our founder. This unique technique draws out the best “hearts” from the spirit to fill each bottle (white rum) or barrel (aged rum) with only the best sugarcane-cured taste.
