CRAFTED IN SAN DIEGO
You know that feeling when something is “just right”? For Clever Fox, it took filling a 400-square-foot apartment with jars of sugar and yeast for three years to find that perfect balance. Shortcuts aren’t part of Clever Fox’s process. Making delicious rum is.
Quality Ingredients
When it comes to rum, sugar and yeast are dance partners. The right recipe only makes the right rum when the perfect dancers are chosen and given the floor. Clever Fox’s Louisiana sugar cane syrup is something special. Following the same tradition for 111 years, it’s hard to make but worth every bit of extra trouble.
To that, Clever Fox adds a heritage yeast. It’s not the most economical choice, but when it meets the sugar cane syrup, magic happens. Together, they create a nuanced, flavorful silver rum that’s perfect for sipping or mixing.
Handmade Copper Pot Stills
Clever Fox rum is distilled the old-fashioned way — in handmade copper pot stills. Where many commercial rums rely on automated, continuous column stills, Clever Fox is handcrafted for a cleaner, smoother, and overall tastier rum. Each cut is taken by hand in small batches, ensuring quality over speed. After all, why rush something crafted with love?
Bottled and Painted by Hand
It’s not just the rum that receives Clever Fox’s care and attention — the bottle does, too. Each bottle is cleaned, inspected, and filled by hand. Crafted from 100% post-consumer recycled glass, every bottle is a perfectly imperfect canvas. Clever Fox uses screen-printing to minimize label waste and adds a unique, hand-painted detail on the bottom for that extra personal touch.
