Our Story
Our ‘special’ rum.
Each Caribbean and Latin American destination has it’s own ‘special’ rum. Each is a bit different, full of local flavor and character. The chance to enjoy these amazing local rums is one of the highlights of any trip to the tropics, but upon returning home, it can be hard to recreate that magic.
Palm Republic was created with the goal of capturing that magic. This is our ‘special’ rum.
Capturing paradise.
Using ingredients of unparalleled quality, Palm Republic infuses the local character of the Caribbean and Latin America into a liquid that, wherever you are, transports you to your own personal paradise.
Both our silver and aged rums are smooth and complex enough to be enjoyed on their own, and when combined in a cocktail, elevate the drink to a heightened level of sophistication.
The future of rum.
Palm Republic rises above the clichés of rum branding, opting for something modern and luxurious. From the sparkling beaches of Panama to the art deco boulevards of Miami, from a tranquil poolside afternoon to a bumping rooftop party, anywhere can be transformed into your own personal Palm Republic.

Eric Winter is an accomplished actor, producer, investor, and now co-founder of Palm Republic. Palm Republic is the fruition of a dream that began 20 years ago when his passion for rum was born during a fateful trip to Puerto Rico.
“Rum has been a passion of mine for almost 20 years. I was first introduced to this amazing spirit when I went to Puerto Rico with my wife, Roselyn Sanchez, to meet her family. The rum we shared at her family's home brought us together. Palm Republic speaks to the blending of cultures.”
