THE PAST

Florida Caribbean Distillers (FCD) was established in 1943 as the first registered distillery in Florida and began as a modest operation in the heart of the Florida’s sugar cane and citrus growing region. 

In 2010 Florida Caribbean Distillers was acquired by CC1 companies, and quickly grew to become the largest Rum producer in the continental US.  The company is also the nation’s largest supplier of OTSOW (other than standard orange wine) which is an ingredient used throughout the world in liqueurs and cordials.
