Cockspur Rum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cockspur was launched by the sea captain Valdemar Hanschell during the early 20th century. Cockspur's parent company became Hanschell Larson in 1928, and Hanschell Innis Ltd. in 1971. It was acquired by Goddard Enterprises in 1973.[1]
In 2017, Hanschell Inniss Ltd. sold Corkspur to Woodland Radicle for an undisclosed amount.[2]
Description
The rum used by Corkspur is distilled by the West Indies Rum Distillery.[1][3] Cockspur blends its rum while aging it in oak barrels, and it contains forty percent alcohol by volume.[4]
The rum won the "International Wine and Spirit Competition's" Gold Medal in 1981, 1984, and 1989[citation needed].
