Drum Circle Distilling operates as the production facility behind Siesta Key Rum, one of Florida’s most recognized craft rum brands. Located on Industrial Boulevard in Sarasota, this distillery has been quietly crafting small-batch rum using traditional Caribbean methods combined with Florida innovation. The operation focuses exclusively on rum production, from white and spiced varieties to aged expressions that showcase the complexity possible in American-made rum. The distillery emerged from a vision to create authentic rum using time-honored techniques while embracing local Florida ingredients and climate advantages. Their approach centers on copper pot distillation and careful aging in a climate that accelerates the maturation process compared to traditional rum-producing regions. The team has built their reputation on consistency and quality, developing a following among rum enthusiasts who appreciate the craft approach to a spirit often overlooked in the American craft distilling movement. Visitors get an inside look at rum production from fermentation through distillation and aging. The facility offers a more intimate experience than large-scale operations, where you can see the entire process and understand what sets their rum apart from mass-produced alternatives. The focus remains squarely on the craft and the spirit itself rather than elaborate visitor amenities.
