In the four years since opening the distillery, Ryan &Wood have expanded from selling only on Cape Ann to locations closer to Boston. They participate in a large number of events, from tastings at the North Shore Music Festival or private clubs to boat cruises with Essex River Cruise. They stand behind their product at each event, presenting themselves as the face of their spirits.
Our Folly Cove family of rums is produced with the finest quality molasses, fermented, and distilled in our custom built classic copper pot still. We allow the rum to rest in charred white oak barrels, adding distinctive flavor to the maturing spirit. Once properly aged, the rum is bottled by hand at our distillery in Cape Ann. Folly Cove, rich in Gloucester's history, is famous for its many shipwrecks. Smuggles of all types came into this cove seeking safety, only to find they were dangerously off course. Now known for scuba divers searching for the shipwrecks and lbostermen plying their trade, Folly Cove is one of the most beautiful areas of Cape Ann's coastline.
At Ryan & Wood, Inc. we begin the process of creating knockabout gin by combining Juniper Berries, Coriander Seed, Angelica Root, Orris Root, Orange Peel, and Licorice root, stalwarts of many gin recipes. Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Cassia and Lemon Peel are added. The gin is distilled in small batches using our custom built copper pot still.
Locally distilled in Gloucester, MA, this whisky is a blend of rye, wheat and barley that produces a smooth and flavorful spirit.
