About us

Founded in 2015

In 2015, Garrett Robinson and Derek Schwarz took a seat in a crowded whiskey bar. Amongst hundreds of bottles of Single Malt Scotch and Bourbon, they detailed their plan to bring pot-distilled rum finished in top-quality wine barrels to the mainland United States. The synergy of skills was undeniable: Garrett was an industry veteran with experience brewing, distilling, and barrel-aging fine spirits. Derek was a mechanical engineer with a reverence for small details and a knack for bringing wild ideas into reality.

Plans changed suddenly in 2017 when Hurricane Maria ravaged much of the island of Puerto Rico, the home of Derek's mother, family, and grandfather's agricultural farm in the mountains of Sabana Grande. With Garrett's help, Derek began establishing wind- and solar-powered systems in an effort to restore electricity to those in desperate need. In light of their experiences following the hurricane, the duo resolved to remain in the Caribbean, developing the Scryer Rum dream in the mountains of Southern Puerto Rico, on the very same family farm.

the future of rum begins now

In 2018, Scryer Rum found a new home on historic Calle Tetuan, a port-facing, Prohibition-era street in Old San Juan. In the ragged shell of building #259, a once-infamous punk-rock outlet and live venue near today's main cruise port, the two began removal of debris and reconstruction by hand.

As construction settles and debris is cleared away, we watch with pride as barrels, rum, and excited patrons begin to refill the building's formerly tattered halls. We can't wait to share with our new family and friends five years of passion and dedication. Welcome to Scryer Rum!

Visionaries are those that can peer into the future to reshape the world around them. Like the wind, they carve a new story from the stone of history. They are dreamers: Scryers who can see what others cannot.

Scryer is a message in a bottle that great rum demands unrivaled respect. Unlike other spirits, rum is truly free: every island expresses a distinct character, When Scryer blends these traditions in the same bottle, the result is quality unforeseen.



Tasting notes

CRAFTED IN THE CARIBBEAN

Scryer is crafted in Barbados using the same pot-distillation techniques pioneered centuries ago. It matures no less than five years in the Caribbean before undergoing two additional finishings in Old San Juan, where it is bottled and enjoyed.
