- Cocktail enthusiasts learned how to make libations featuring Waypoint Spirits Rum. The small-batch, 100% natural aged molasses-based rum starts off with a fermentation that brings out rich, tropical fruit notes. It is then distilled twice through pot stills followed by oak barreling, for notes of vanilla and caramel.
