The Rum & RTDs

Our products

What kind of rum do you make?
We make three core rums, distilled, blended and bottled by hand in San Diego, California: Artisanal White Rum (clean, bright, sugarcane-forward), Barrel-Finished Rum (aged in charred American oak — think old-fashioned or Manhattan territory), and Tahitian Vanilla Rum (a natural pairing with cold brew, chai, or a splash of soda). Everything is small-batch and additive-free. Explore the collection here.
What are the RTDs (canned cocktails)?
Our ready-to-drink lineup is real cocktails, not sugar bombs: Kokomojito (mojito), Afternoon Delight (piña colada), Mystique (dark & stormy), and Excitation (espresso martini). Each one is built with our own rum and Seven Caves gin as base spirits, all-natural flavors and colors, balanced carbonation, and is gluten-free. See them all here.
What’s the ABV?
Our rums are 80 proof (40% ABV). Canned cocktails vary by recipe but sit in the 8–12% ABV range — real cocktail strength, not seltzer strength.
Are they gluten-free?
Yes. Our rums are naturally gluten-free (distilled from sugarcane), and our canned cocktails are formulated gluten-free as well.
Do you make bundles or gift sets?
We do. The Bundles & Gift Sets collection includes the Rum Trio (all three spirits), the Rum Collection with a branded tumbler set, and the Barrel Gift Set. Bundles ship at a discount vs. buying the bottles individually.
How It’s Made

Ingredients & making

Where is the rum made?
All three rums are distilled, blended and bottled by hand in San Diego, California. Our founders live it — we’re there most days.
Are your rums additive-free?
Yes. Our three core rums (Artisanal, Barrel-Finished, and Tahitian Vanilla) contain no added sugar, no glycerin, no artificial coloring, and no post-distillation dosage. What’s in the bottle is rum and, in the case of the Vanilla, real vanilla beans.
What about the canned cocktails?
The canned cocktails aren’t “additive-free” in the same technical sense as the rums — they’re real cocktails. They’re built with our own rum and Seven Caves gin as base spirits, all-natural flavors and colors, balanced carbonation, and are gluten-free. No high-fructose corn syrup, no fake dyes, no excessive sugars.
How is the Barrel-Finished Rum aged?
It rests in charred American oak barrels. Same casks family used for whiskey — different result. The oak rounds it out into something that drinks beautifully neat, on a big rock, or in an Old Fashioned.
Is the Tahitian Vanilla flavored with real vanilla?
Real vanilla beans, macerated in our rum. No vanillin, no artificial vanilla flavoring.
Getting It To You

Ordering & shipping

Where do you ship?
We ship to 46 states, fulfilled from San Diego, CA. We can’t ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Mississippi, or Utah because of state alcohol laws — not our choice. For the full shipping policy and delivery windows, see our full shipping details.
How long does shipping take?
Full details, transit times, carrier options, and current rates live on the full shipping details. In short: orders ship from San Diego within 1–2 business days, and ground delivery is typically 2–5 business days depending on where you are.
Do I need to be home to sign for the delivery?
Yes. Federal law requires an adult signature (21+) at delivery for anything containing alcohol. The carrier will check ID. If you’re not home, they’ll usually leave a notice and reattempt.
Can I ship a gift to someone else?
Absolutely. The recipient just needs to be 21+ and present to sign. We recommend giving them a heads-up so they don’t miss the delivery window.
Is there a minimum age to order?
You must be 21 or older to purchase, and the person receiving the package must be 21+ to sign for it.
Do you offer local pickup?
Yes. If you’re local to San Diego, you can pick up your order from our tasting room. You can also stop in, shop, and pay directly — we encourage it. Email info@ckspirits.com to arrange a pickup time.
Can I use a discount code?
Yes, at checkout. New subscribers to our newsletter get 10% off their first ordersign up here.
If Something’s Off

Returns & support

What if my bottle arrives broken?
Send us a photo of the box and bottle within 48 hours of delivery to info@ckspirits.com and we’ll take care of it — replacement or refund, your call.
Can I return a bottle I’ve opened?
Under federal alcohol law, we can’t accept returns on opened bottles. If something tastes off or you got a defective product, email us and we’ll make it right.
Can I cancel or change my order?
It depends on where it’s shipping. California orders: if your order hasn’t shipped yet, yes — email us as fast as you can at info@ckspirits.com. Out-of-state orders: shipments are legally fulfilled by a local third-party carrier, and once the order is placed we can’t recall it. Email us anyway and we’ll see what’s possible.
I have a question about a wholesale/bar order.
For trade orders, see the For Trade section on the homepage — it lists our distributors and the right sales rep by market.
