Carroll's Distillery Sandpiper Rum
Each bottling comes from a single barrel. The barrel holds 200 litres.
Sandpiper is the same light blend as Gannet, then aged at least one year in ex-bourbon wood. The distillery sells 750 mL at 40% alcohol for $32. A 6 L format is listed at $300.
Carroll's produces its spirits on site in Miramichi from Crosby's Fancy Molasses. The vodka is the exception, bought in bulk. This rum is not that exception.

Our Canadian score
Strong Canadian ties
Sandpiper Rum is aged in Miramichi by Carroll's Distillery, which makes spirits on site. Wood time is what lets them call it rum. The sweet base is Crosby's Fancy Molasses, and the page never names a cane country.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Carroll's Distillery Sandpiper Rum made in Canada?
Yes. Carroll's Distillery ages it in Miramichi, New Brunswick. The liquid starts as the Gannet blend and then sees ex-bourbon wood. Molasses comes from Crosby.
How is it different from Gannet?
Carroll's Distillery keeps Gannet unaged, and says Canadian rules stop them calling that clear spirit rum. Sandpiper is the wood-aged version of that light blend, so the rum name fits.
What is the strength and price?
Carroll's Distillery posts 40% alcohol and a $32 tag on the 750 mL Sandpiper bottle. A 6 L option is $300. Every small bottle is drawn from a single 200 L cask.
Where is the distillery?
Carroll's Distillery works at 2289 King George Highway, Miramichi. The products note says spirits are made completely on site from Crosby's Fancy Molasses. Vodka is the bought-in exception.
Does the barrel change the colour?
Carroll's Distillery calls Sandpiper light-bodied even after wood. The cask is what separates it from clear Gannet. The page mark reads CF, aged.
