What do Jews and pirates have in common… quite a bit actually!
After the expulsion of Jews from Spain and Portugal, some Jews turned to piracy as a way to fight back against Spain and Portugal.
One such pirate, David Abrabanel, joined the British privateers after his family was murdered off the South American coast. He used the nom de guerre “Captain Davis” and commanded his own pirate vessel named “The Jerusalem.”
This exceptional rum made by master distiller, David Zibell is perfect to drink as a sipping rum. It is mellow, made from brown sugar and molasses. This is the perfect run to sip or use in your favorite rum cocktails.
This is a rum adventure that is only possible from a distillery in the Holy Land. It’s a rum with a dash of chutzpah!

Jewish Pirates Golden Rum
Award-winning Yerushalmi Distillery was started by three partners, David Zibell, Nitai Morgenstern, and Amir Lev, who set about to create a craft distillery as special as Jerusalem. The name, Yerushalmi, refers to a person, or something typical of the Holy City.
The distillery located on Moshav Zanoach is small but mighty, distilling with one still. This is what makes this new craft distillery so special as every creation is overseen by the partners, from start to finish. Every aspect of this distillery is touched by hand and nurtured which means that the final result is exceptional.
The distillery makes only peated whiskeys in addition to 3 types of rum, 2 gins, and bocha. They repurpose their rum barrels for aging their single malts which accelerate the aging process and render a sophisticated dram that will remind you of Jerusalem of gold as you sip.
