J. Gow Rum

From Scotland’s Smallest Rum Island – Bold, Untamed, Scottish Rum

Scottish rum with a bold, rebellious spirit.

J. Gow Rum isn’t just a brand; it’s a labour of love. Behind every drop is Collin, who took a leap of faith in 2017, converting part of his family’s wine business into a rum distillery.

From crafting the rum to designing every label and running the business, Collin does it all—proving that passion and determination can turn a dream into reality.
