Head Distiller Luka Cutura and Team Turn Focus to Rum Season

October 16, 2023

As the temperatures begin to drop and the southern heat subsides, the obvious signals of season changes are in the Louisiana air.  LSU football is in full swing.  Outdoor lovers have completed preparations for their preferred upcoming seasons in Sportsman’s Paradise.  And most importantly for Seven Three Distilling Co., sugarcane season has arrived.

For Head Distiller Luka Cutura alongside Assistant Distillers Chris Williams and Chuck Donahue, this time of year lends to rum distillations.  The sugarcane harvest has begun and in full swing.  Genuine Louisiana molasses is the main ingredient for the distillery’s Black Pearl Rum and the distillers take great pride in being true to the state’s roots.

A clean white rum with fruit qualities including hints of banana and mango, Black Pearl Rum is truly a Louisiana rum.  At 84 proof, the subtle sweet finish not only makes a quality sipping rum, but the core ingredient in your favorite rum cocktails including Hurricanes, Mojitos, and more.  This year’s Black Pearl Rum will be available in the distillery, stores, and restaurants/bars soon.  And for those looking for what’s next in Louisiana rum, Seven Three Distilling also has barrels of their award-winning rum aging.  The future is bright as the fall season arrives.
