We're here for the rum
The story of Wildcat Brothers Distilling may be the most unorthodox tale this side of the Bayou. Set in fertile South Louisiana (“Cajun Country” as we like to call it), our story features two unlikely heroes: a former lawyer and Ph.D. behavioral scientist. Together, they embarked on a journey to help their fellow Acadians celebrate the joie de vivre with the very best French style rum. The result was Acadiana’s first distillery. Merging old-world recipes and modern techniques, our flavors harken back to the way the original Acadians would have crafted rum – with their own hands and local ingredients.

NOIRE RUM
Our 5-year-old blend, matured on a combination of white oak and ancestral fruit tree hardwood staves to bring out the perfect cane-cured fullness.

SWEET CRUDE
The rum of the official Lafayette, Louisiana cocktail, The Rouler! Our small-batch white rum is made with locally sourced sugarcane syrup to achieve a light, natural sweetness.

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.
CONSERVING ACADIAN CULTURE
We are Acadiana’s first distiller of craft rum, perfecting the distilling traditions of spirit-making the way our ancestors did. We only use ingredients from local farmers or American craftsman, many of which are just down the road from our distillery. Passed down from generation to generation, we make our French style rum where the ingredients grow best, in the Southern heat and cool orchard shade of our forefathers.

AWARD-WINNING SPIRITS
Sweet Crude is our celebrated winner of the prestigious Washington Cup American Sprits Competition. Learn more about this internationally-renowned white rum and our unique distillation process that makes this spirit the official cocktail of Lafayette, Louisiana.
Making 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, Lulu, our rum flavor is sweet, clean and just the right amount of creamy.
