Rum's

Bold, Untamed, and Built for the Ridge

At Flaming Aces Distillery, we do rum our way—Southern-born, Appalachian-made, and packed with bold character. Whether you're chasing something smooth and easy-sipping or spiced with a little fire, our small-batch rums are handcrafted to break the mold and honor the renegade spirit of the mountains.

Distilled from pure cane sugar and molasses and aged with purpose, our rums capture the raw energy of moonshiner history with a flavor all their own.

Carolina Ridge Runner Rum

Small Batch. Bold Soul. Appalachian Spirit.

Distilled with purpose and packed with character, Carolina Ridge Runner Rum is our unapologetically smooth take on a timeless classic made right here in the mountains of Tennessee.

Fermented slow, distilled with care on our handcrafted copper stills, and bottled unaged to preserve its crisp cane-forward profile—this rum is clean, slightly sweet, and full of spirit.

Whether you’re sipping it straight, mixing it up, or running it through your own backroad adventures, Carolina Ridge Runner Rum is built for bold flavor and smooth sailing.
