In 1986, Bob Brinley founded an electronics plant on St. Kitts, a tiny Caribbean island nation. But destiny had other plans. When the factory closed in 2002, his son Zach left Wall Street to reinvent the family legacy. Partnering with St. Kitts’ historic distillery, they launched Brinley Gold Shipwreck Rum with a bold vision: redefine flavored rum.Their first creation: a vanilla rum, won gold at Canada’s International Rum Festival in 2003, sparking a revolution. Rejecting artificial additives, the Brinleys pioneered small-batch rums using natural extracts from Brazilian coffee, Tahitian lime, and Madagascar vanilla. Each bottle tells a story: the textured labels bear coordinates of real Caribbean shipwrecks, honoring maritime history.Over two decades, the family’s hands-on approach – from blending to grassroots marketing, transformed Shipwreck Rum into an award-winning icon. Today, their portfolio spans eight rums, including a 10-year-aged reserve. Yet their ethos remains unchanged: craft spirits that unite connoisseurs and casual drinkers. Based in New Jersey but rooted in St. Kitts, the Brinleys blend Wall Street savvy with Caribbean soul, proving rum isn’t just a drink, it’s a bridge between cultures, generations, and adventures.
