Markoe Bay Rum: High-Quality Rum with a Three-Centuries-Old Tradition, Revitalized and Rebranded
Peter Markoe is attempting to restart a family tradition from over three centuries ago: creating high-quality Caribbean rum. His family grew sugarcane on the islands of St Croix and Cooper Island, in the United States Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands respectively. They distilled the sugarcane into rum and transported it to Philadelphia. They were renowned for creating some of the world’s best rum. Markoe is attempting to start the family business back up again, and intends to raise the finances required to do so via Kickstarter.
