Help Bayside Rum Co. Create The Next Chapter In New Zealand's Rum Story

Project 2023-01-05 12:44:02 +1300

After launching the Three Moons Rum last year, it picked up a silver medal at the New Zealand Spirits Awards and established a strong retail presence with our bottles stocked in bars and stores across Aotearoa.
 
But despite our initial success, our little family business faced some problems. Our stock has sold out, and sourcing our ingredients proved to be more difficult due to pandemic-related supply chain issues. 
 
We developed a successful recipe we want it to be available in New Zealand and beyond. But we need a bit of help to establish supply-chain continuity. So we decided to launch this PledgeMe campaign.
 
We’d like to offer you a chance to be a part of the next chapter in New Zealand’s Rum Story with a range of pre-order offers from our established and highly acclaimed Three Moons Rum, a unique, limited edition Spiced Rum release… and an entire Barrel of Rum! 
 
Bayside Rum Co. is a husband and wife venture into the wild wild west that is the beverage industry. We're on a mission to create a distinctly Kiwi style of rum that will be recognized all over the world. Our rums are unique because we use a special Kumara fermentation starter that we've developed ourselves, it is the first New Zealand-made rum to be made in a New Zealand-made copper pot still and it is rested in New Zealand ex-wine barrels. Oh, it's also made to the highest standard and will rival the best rums in the world. Our first release is Three Moons Rum, it is made from 100% black strap molasses using our Kumara fermentation starter, distilled in an NZ-made 100% copper pot still, and rested in New Zealand ex-pinot noir casks for 3 months. Featuring flavors of tropical funk, floral accents, cranberry jam, toasted chestnut, and hay smoke. We think we've created a distinctly Kiwi style of rum that New Zealanders can be proud of.
 
Bayside 'Sugar & Spice' Rum
Hand-crafted using our award-winning New Zealand-made spirit, Sugar & Spice will be made with 100% natural ingredients. This is going to be our first infused rum and we want to make sure it is the best spiced rum you've ever tried. We will be using the highest quality ingredients including sweet orange peel, chai, vanilla, cocoa, and horopito for that native spice. The rum will be rested in American oak barrels sourced in New Zealand, which will lend notes of toasted wood and further complement the vanilla and warm spice notes of the rum. Wrapped in a label with unique artwork, hand numbered and signed to further accentuate this very special and limited release.

Hi, our amazing Pledgers and supporters. 

We've been working hard in the back ground on producing the rum and the exciting part is that it's ready! The process hasn't been without challenges due to which we've had significant delays in delivering the rum to you all. Our last obsitcle is the label, while the final design is ready and we couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. Unfortunately our printing company succumbed to the flu and even covid a little while ago, which put a stop to the whole printing press and caused significant delays in delivering the labels to all of their customers. The good news is that our labels are being printed this week and as soon as we receive them, probably next week, we will label the rum asap and send it your way. 

We've tried the final rum with a few of our industry colleagues and the response has been overwhelmingly positive! So we are very excited to hear what you have to say about it. 

We are forever grateful to all of you for helping us get here. 

Thank you

Egor, Anna, Eugene and Lucia 

 

 

Thank you for helping us reach our target!

We did it!

Thanks to you and your support, we’ve not only reached our capital raise a target of $30,000 but exceeded it. 

That means more Bayside goodness very soon, including our new Sugar and Spice rum. 

There’s still time to get amongst the action. You have until the end of April to pre-order our sublime spiced rum or explore our highly profitable barrel partnership programme. A special thank you to our three barrel partners already on board. 

It’s exciting times, with an unbelievable level of interest in our story and boutique rum. You might have even seen Bayside pop up on StuffOne News, Māori TV, and Broadsheet NZ, to name a few. 

Thanks again for your support and being part of the next chapter in New Zealand’s rum story. 

Cheers to you,

Egor & Anna

Co-founders of Bayside Rum Co.

We’ve reached half way!

Dear supporters,

 

We are thrilled! We have reached the halfway mark of our PledgeMe campaign in just two weeks, with $15,000 raised so far!

 

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. 

 

Your contribution will help us build a resilient business and expand on our award-winning rum category. 

 

We are grateful for the messages of support we have received, and it's been incredibly encouraging to read them.

 

We are also excited to share that we've received a lot of interest from potential barrel partners. We've sent out the all the details and can't wait to start working with you.

 

With one month left to go, we still need your help to spread the word about our PledgeMe campaign and help us hit the goal of $30,000.
