Cutwater Three Sheets Rum

Cutwater Three Sheets White Rum is the house rum from Cutwater’s San Diego distillery — notably distilled from pure cane sugar rather than the molasses that most white rums use, and produced in a hybrid pot-and-column still that combines the depth of pot still character with the clean consistency of column distillation, producing a smooth, clean silver rum with genuine complexity beyond the standard column-only white rum.

The cane sugar base is the production distinction — molasses, a byproduct of sugar refining, adds heavier, more pungent esters that create the bold, funky character of many Caribbean rums. Pure cane sugar fermentation produces a cleaner, lighter, and more delicate rum character that Cutwater uses as the base of the Three Sheets lineup and the RTD rum cocktails.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Why is Three Sheets made from cane sugar instead of molasses? Pure cane sugar fermentation produces a cleaner, lighter, more delicate character than molasses, which adds the heavier, funkier esters found in many Caribbean rums. It gives Three Sheets its smooth, clean profile.
• What does the hybrid pot-and-column still add? It combines the body and depth of pot still distillation with the clean consistency of column distillation, giving the rum more complexity than a column-only white rum.
• How should I drink it? Excellent in a Daiquiri, Mojito, or any cocktail calling for a clean white rum, and smooth enough to mix simply over ice.
