Tiki Tuesday Talks: Going Green in Rum Production with Julie Reiner - a podcast by Tiki by the Sea

This week we have Going Green in Rum Production with Julie Reiner sponsored by Copalli Rum. Julie is their national brand ambassador and owner of the famed Clover Club and Leyenda in NYC!   

Copalli Rum is a sustainable rum in the heart of the Belizean Rainforest. Built in 2017 and surrounded by 22,000 acres of rainforest conservancy, the farm is the first certified-organic farm in Belize. Copalli’s core founding principles was to make great tasting rum with all-natural ingredients, while honoring the land and the community.  

The distillery is designed to be zero impact. The stills are powered by sustainable, regenerative biomass and the process supports full-circle conversion of waste from production into agricultural inputs. Rainforest water is captured in holding tanks for blending. There is no toxic waste run-off, typical to other rum distilling practices.
