Hercules Mulligan Rum & Rye, the ready-to-drink craft cocktail, recently announced its launch in New York.
The cocktail, was inspired by the man himself – the tailor, Irish immigrant, spy, and unsung hero of the American Revolution, is a 50/50 blend of Caribbean aged rum and American rye whiskey inspired by the revolutionary era. Organic ginger root is macerated in the rum and rye blend, and a splash of bitters is added to create a ready-made Irish Old Fashioned.
Launched in 2019, Hercules Mulligan Co-Founder Steve Luttmann teamed up with Grisa Soba, Co-Founder of Flaviar, and Mario Mazza of NY-based Five & 20 Distilling, master distiller for Hercules Mulligan Company. The trio —affectionately referred to as “The Three Musketeers”— have led the company, which started with just 2,000 bottles at its launch.
“The Flaviar community really helped build our brand from the start, making Hercules Mulligan the number one rated brand on the platform. It has proved so popular with one of the highest repurchase rates on Flaviar that we believe we will be incredibly successful as we start to bring Hercules Mulligan to the home state of the man who inspired our brand,” said Hercules Mulligan Co-Founder Steve Luttmann.
Hercules Mulligan Rum & Rye is available via Flaviar and at retailers for $38.
