Tashmoo Distilling Co. Navy Strength Rum

Tashmoo Distilling Company was founded in 2022 by Chris and Ellen Ross along with their lifelong friend and business partner Tom Maliskey. The distillery and tasting room opened in December of 2023 serving distinctive craft cocktails made with our spirits. ​

We take pride in creating unique and flavorful cocktails that highlight the depth and complexity of our spirits. We are dedicated to delivering the best possible distillery experience for all of our guests.

During the roaring 1920’s, Harsens Island and the St. Clair Flats served as a funnel for illicit booze and the organized crime that came with it. The Tashmoo Steamer was directly involved in Prohibition, dropping visitors off at various clubs and hotels, turned speakeasy, on the island. A century later, The Old Club is proud to pay homage to our rum running history, with our exclusive Commodore’s Cask navy strength rum.

A century after whispers of contraband echoed across the water, the legacy of those wild nights still lingers like cigar smoke on the breeze. Hidden docks, coded knocks, and clinking glasses marked a time when the island came alive after dark. Today, that spirit is bottled—not in secrecy, but in celebration. Commodore’s Cask is more than a drink; it’s a tribute. Distilled with Caribbean roots, aged to rich complexity over four years, and presented with vintage flair, this navy strength rum honors the grit and glamour of a forgotten era. Tashmoo Distilling Co. channels history into every drop, crafting a bold reminder that legends never really disappear—they evolve.
