Frequently asked questions

Our Distillery


  • We produce a variety of award-winning spirits, including Blue Rook Cane Gin, Blue Rook Cane Vodka, and Blue Rook Cachaça.

    Everything in our portfolio is crafted by hand in small batches with our custom alembique copper pot still.

  • Blue Rook Distillery was started by the Baeker and Bispo de Assis families. They met when Jordan Baeker, a native of Kentucky, married Eduardo Bispo de Assis in his hometown of Salvador, Brazil.

    When the Baekers became enamored with a mysterious Brazilian spirit that they’d never seen nor tasted in the States, the two families quickly realized that they shared passion for distilled spirits.

    That spirit, a uniquely Brazilian style of rum known as cachaça, would end up launching these families on a quest to bring Brazilian cane spirits to the U.S.

    Brazil’s vibrant and diverse culture continues to inspire Blue Rook Distillery

  • We’re proud to call the wonderful city of Danville, Kentucky home.

    It may be small, but we’re grateful for the passion & expertise that comes with being natives of bourbon country.

Our Spirits


  • The main reason all of our spirits are crafted from sugarcane is pretty simple: it tastes great.

    Cane allows us to work with an ingredient that’s just as enjoyable before it’s been harvested as it does in a bottle of Blue Rook Cane Spirits. Think about it, which sounds more appealing to you - a glass of freshly pressed Brazilian sugarcane or a glass of potato juice?

    That’s not all sugarcane has to offer, either. In addition to its naturally great flavor, it’s also environmentally sustainable, less processed, and less wasteful than many other ingredients used to distill spirits.

  • Many distilled spirits have strict requirements governing how they’re made. For example, bourbon whiskey must be made from a grain mixture that’s at least 51% corn and aged for a minimum of two years in charred oak barrels.

    Other categories, however, have less restrictive guidelines and provide distillers with the creative freedom to explore new and unique interpretations of how they can be made.

    Gin and vodka have broadly defined requirements that make them amenable to a wide variety of creative interpretations. This is why we love them. Using sugarcane as our canvas, we are able to explore the boundaries of the gin and vodka categories without betraying the things that make them recognizable and distinct.

  • Cachaça is a style of rum unique to Brazil. Unlike most rums, which are general distilled from a byproduct of granulated sugar production known as molasses, cachaça is distilled from fresh, unprocessed sugarcane juice. This gives it a more complex flavor profile that is earthier and more natural than other rums.

    We’ll be the first to admit that the word cachaça can be a bit intimidating for non-Portuguese speaking people say. Don’t let it fool you, though - it’s not as tough it looks.

    Cachaça is pronounced: Kah-Shah-Sah

    All three of its syllables end with the sound “ah”, so all you really have to do is remember to pair them with k, sh, and s and you’ll be golden!

  • Blue Rook Cachaça represents a uniquely Brazilian style of rum distilled from freshly pressed sugarcane rather than molasses.

    Hand-harvested cane nectar is double pot-distilled & cut with naturally demineralized water from a private mountain spring in Brazil’s southern Serra do Mar mountains.

    This quintessentially Brazilian rum is rested for six months - giving Blue Rook Cachaça an unmistakably floral bouquet that is balanced by a comfortingly earthy palate & a smooth, refreshing finish

  • Blue Rook Cane Gin is a dry gin that embraces the celebratory exploration of flavor and fragrence.

    Blue Rook Cane Gin is pot distilled in small batches and imbued with a distinct blend of vapor infused botanicals. Non-chill filtered.

    Juniper forward with hints of citrus and spice complemented by fruity notes of açai & guarana, Blue Rook Cane Gin culminate in a pleasantly complex palate that challenges expectations & excites the senses.

  • Blue Rook Cane Vodka provides a rich & satisfying tasting experience that even the most discerning vodka drinkers will enjoy.

    Distilled from 100% Brazilian sugarcane & bottled by hand to ensure the finest quality.

    Award-winning Blue Rook Cane Vodka enjoys a floral nose with a subtly sweet, earthy palate and a smooth & delicate finish that lingers pleasantly.
