Kelly Kretchman has been making adult beverages for over a decade. She started with beer and ran a successful brew pub for many years until shutting it down and entering the distilling world.
Taking cues from her brewing experience and creativity, she set out to create new cane-based beverages that could be produced quickly, efficiently, and still maintain high quality standards. After 2 years of research and experimentation, she successfully created a “smoothing process” that uses science to make any spirit extra smooth.
Using what she had learned, Rum Tropic was born in 2021 at The Velvet Mill in Stonington, CT. Success was quickly achieved when she won over loyal drinkers with her extra smooth rums and vodkas. Since then, Rum Tropic has been experimenting with new products and getting involved with community efforts to make a difference and pay forward their success.
