Our Story

At Oxbow Rum Distillery, our mission is to serve as stewards of our land and sugarcane by creating a beautifully crafted American rum.

CANE TO GLASS

Every drop of Oxbow Rum is an expression of our cane farm and sugar mill, which has been in our family for 5 generations. It is our mission to serve as stewards of our land and sugarcane by creating premium American rum, amplifying the stories of our past and present, and serving our community. By doing so, we honor both the ingredients and people that make our rum what it is today.

AUTHENTICITY

At Oxbow, we aim to make the best possible products that honor the land and people that made it. Our Oxbow Estate line has zero added sugar, color or flavor, while our False River flavored rums tell you exactly what’s inside the bottle.

“I live on the farm, and see the 24/7 grind every harvest, the fermentations and late-night distillations our team puts in at the distillery.”

Olivia Stewart
President

LEGACY & PERSEVERANCE

For over 160 years, we have persevered through tough times, hard freezes, blistering droughts and near closures.

COMMUNITY

Our commitment to the Louisiana community and Baton Rouge is unwavering, and we’re honored to be part of every unforgettable moment on and off the field. We’ve joined forces with LSU Athletics to celebrate a shared commitment to excellence, tradition, and local pride. Two Baton Rouge icons, one unforgettable experience.

“From the bottling days and pouring what we’ve work so hard on into the glass for our tasting room guests, to the daily hustle out in the market.”

Olivia Stewart
President

VALUES & VISION

At Oxbow, we aim to be the premium American rum brand. But beyond that, we aspire to elevate the rum category itself, celebrating its versatility and history while pushing boundaries in the craft spirits world. Our long-term goal? To produce 50,000 cases annually, each bottle a testament to our heritage and unwavering dedication.

Honor the past. Embrace the present. Empower the future.
