Kakwa Falls is a Northern Alberta landmark revered by many. This makes it the perfect inspiration for our Kakwa Rum, the first true craft rum made in Alberta. Distilled right here in Grande Prairie from blackstrap molasses and aged in bourbon barrels, this golden spirit has been expertly blended for a rich, sweet flavour. Kakwa Rum is a completely unique experience. Just like the falls themselves. 43% abv
