Where to Buy
THL: What is it?
Desert Diamond takes its white rum, then ages it in American and French oak barrels to create the Gold Miner Dark Rum.
THL: Why should you try it?
The distillery calls this rum “distinguished and grown-up.” They’re right. This is a refined rum that takes on flavors from aging that makes it more like a whiskey — a dignified, classy whiskey.
THL: Who makes it?
Desert Diamond Distillery makes the Gold Miner lineup of rums and vodka just of Route 66 in Kingman, Arizona.
THL: What does it taste like?
Oak, earth
THL: How should you drink it?
Distillery owners John and Deborah Patt rave about the Blueberry Mojito from Caballero's Restaurant in Goodyear, Arizona. Make this cocktail by adding muddled blueberries to the classic Mojito recipe, and be sure to use Gold Miner Dark Rum.
