The Rums
Thomas Tew Rum
Thomas Tew Single Barrel Pot-Still Rum, distilled right here in Newport, Rhode Island. This rum is aged 3-6 years in a single Woodford Reserve bourbon barrel and is released not a day before it hits its prime. It is named after Rhode Island’s most famous pirate.
Widows Walk Overproof Rum
Widows Walk Overproof Rum is the unaged and much stronger version of Thomas Tew. While Thomas Tew comes in at an above average 84 proof (42% ABV)…Widows Walk is an eye-opening 165 proof (62.5% ABV).
Learn more about Thomas Tew Rums at their website.
Location
The season finale of Cocktail Wars Newport is taking place at the Midtown Oyster Bar! That’s at 345 Thames Street…just south of the Wave statue.
