GRACE RUM

Distillery: Grace Rum Co., Ltd.

Founded: 2004


Yuko Kinjo is the CEO and founder of Grace Rum: a small-production Rum distillery on the island of Minamidaito, 360 km from Okinawa prefecture. Sugarcane is synonymous with this island and has been planted here since settlement. Cor Cor Rum is made only of sustainable local sugarcane (no additives) and is a joint effort between Kinjo-san and the Minamidaito Island Chamber of Commerce. Their sugarcane is limited to the amount available in any given year from their fields, a fact not insignificant considering typhoons occasionally hit the island.
