HANDMADE TEXAS RUM_{™
RAILEAN SINGLE BARREL
Available July 1, 2009}  

Welcome to the Eagle Point Distillery, home of RAILEAN Rum, the “Original” TEXAS Rum™. My name is Kelly Railean, I founded Railean Distillers and constructed the first and only distillery in the Houston / Galveston vicinity. As I was sailing the tropics, I stumbled across some of the best rum I’ve ever tasted. No surprise, these rums were handmade in small batches, but not available domestically.  

Family, friends and co-workers thought I was crazy to quit the rat-race and start up my own company; especially in a world monopolized by mass produced spirits companies, where very few woman have ventured. However, my fascination and passion for sailing, tropical  islands, pirates, parrots (and of course rum); determined my destiny. Today, my dream of owning a rum distillery & making handcrafted rum has come true.  

My humble distillery is located in a sleepy little town along the shores of Galveston Bay in San Leon, Texas.  Once a stronghold for the swashbuckling pirate Jean Lafitte, today San Leon is a “small drinking community with a large fishing problem”. The area is also home to a thriving population of wild parrots called Monk Parakeets.   

I use only the highest quality ingredients and processes to produce ultra-premium, domestic rum.  Premium, high-grade sugar cane molasses from the Gulf Coast, is fermented in stainless steel tanks before being transferred to a state-of-the-art copper still.  RAILEAN Rum is handmade in small, single batches to assure the finest quality, and to be able to extract only the “heart of the spirit”.  My RAILEAN Texas White rum is distilled multiple times to produce a pure, smooth spirit, while the dark rums are aged in petite, new, double-charred, American oak barrels. My RAILEAN Reserve XO dark rum is a blended rum, while the RAILEAN Small Cask Reserve dark rum is produced from select single barrels.

 I hope you enjoy RAILEAN Texas Rum - Cheers!
