Daufuskie Island Rum Company
NEW distillery on Daufuskie Island. Their focus is on distilling the sea island’s most authentic, 100% American, handcrafted rum. The island is accessable only by boat and it is worth the trip. There is a timeless quality to the island with pristine beaches, stunning sunsets, and a small group of residents who would not want to be anywhere else.
