Gamefish Vodka

Elizabethtown, North Carolina

Cape Fear Distillery teamed up with international marine wildlife artist Steve Goioneto to present Gamefish. “Clean as a whistle,” this “creamy, full-bodied vodka” has a “grain forward character” with hints of “berries, citrus, and wheat cracker” on the palate and a “tight mineral finish reminiscent of wet stones.” Bonus! A portion of sales is donated to Munroe’s Cape Fear Distillery Conservation Foundation, supporting U.S. coastal ecological initiatives.

Great American International Spirits Award

Normally we wouldn’t brag about a Silver medal, but when you’re a new brand in an International Competition and up against the world’s best, it’s hard to be humble!

Cape Fear Distillery’s Cape Fear Rum is honored to take the Silver Medal in The Great American International Spirits Competition!  The competition’s judges from across the world included the most influential people in the spirits industry, including Master Distillers, Certified Spirits Educators, Brand Ambassadors, retailers, importers and spirits industry writers and consultants. Each spirit was blind judged and based on its own merit — its presence, balance and character.

​

According to Cape Fear Distillery owner, Alex Munroe, “It took over a year to develop the final recipe for our rum, but the hard work paid off. Like all of our spirits, we wanted to make Cape Fear Rum drinkable neat, so the result was a smooth, easy-finishing rum with hints of butter rum and coconut. To take a Silver Medal in such a prestigious international competition right out of the gate is kind of unheard of… we’re very honored!”
