The sailing ship "Kirk and Sweeney", famous for its role in rum smuggling during Prohibition, was seized off the coast of New York in 1924 with a considerable amount of rum on board. After its seizure, it was given the new name "Chase" and served as a training ship for the US Coast Guard before being decommissioned in the 1940s.

The bottle of this rum is handcrafted from crystal glass and is based on the traditional designs of earlier times, such as those used around the early 20th century during the heyday of rum. The crystal stopper of each bottle is specially customized to ensure a perfect fit. The fine lettering on the bottle is sandblasted and finished by hand with luxurious gold paint in an elaborate process.

Carefully crafted in the Dominican Republic, this rum meets the stringent requirements placed on genuine "Dominican rum". The production process begins with hand-picked, high-quality sugar cane, which is processed into class 3 blackstrap molasses and then fermented and distilled. The rum is then matured in a combination of American and French oak barrels, which gives it its unmistakable variety of aromas.
