Origin

Cypress Creek Reserve Rum began in the year 2000 when David Watson went to the island of Mauritius in the Indian ocean on a treasure hunt. Diving on sunken ships is a lot of fun, but no treasure was found. While relaxing in this island paradise, David realized there was a fine rum made there.

David built a small distillery of his own. Countless hours were spent on the Internet to obtain the base information to get started making rum. Then there was the experimentation phase. This took years. David’s main priority was to make a quality rum completely from scratch with everything being done at one location. He set to work setting up a distillery in Wimberley, Texas on his property.

To make the Vanilla Flavored Rum, the distillery starts with the finished white Rum. Laura Watson takes this rum and adds fresh gourmet quality vanilla beans, which ages for a period, to make an extract that is used to flavor the rum. They use the Tahitian variety of vanilla beans for the rum. This variety has a complex floral scent and is more aromatic than the Madagascar variety. This transfers into the taste of the rum extremely well.

The Texas Hill Country has water perfectly suited for making liquor. This is one of the reasons that so many in the wine and liquor industry have located in central Texas.

Open Tuesday to Thursday from 11:30 am to 5:30 pm. Open Friday and Saturday from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm.
