Higgins Boat is more than just a rum — it’s a tribute to the courage, ingenuity, and sacrifice that shaped our history. With a deep connection to military heritage and a commitment to crafting exceptional rum, Higgins Boat offers a unique blend of tradition and innovation. Every bottle represents not just an extraordinary spirit, but a way to honor the legacy of those who served and continue to serve in our armed forces.
A Mission Rooted in History
The Higgins Boat story begins with Andrew Jackson Higgins, a visionary whose invention of the amphibious landing craft revolutionized warfare during World War II. These boats, originally designed to navigate the shallow waters of Louisiana swamps, became the backbone of American amphibious operations. On D-Day, June 6, 1944, it was the Higgins boats that enabled thousands of soldiers to storm the beaches of Normandy, turning the tide of the war.
This spirit of innovation and bravery is at the heart of everything we do at Higgins Boat. Just as Higgins' boats made history, we aim to make a difference by producing a premium rum that honors those who fought for our freedom. Our rum isn’t just crafted for its exceptional taste; it’s crafted to carry forward the values of resilience, community, and sacrifice.
The Higgins Boat Legacy Today
The legacy of the Higgins boat lives on through the work we do. Today, our rum is a reflection of the same dedication to craftsmanship and innovation that marked Higgins’ work during the war. Each batch is carefully crafted using the finest ingredients and cutting-edge techniques, ensuring that every bottle embodies the quality and excellence for which Higgins’ boats became famous.
But we don’t just stop at creating exceptional rum. Higgins Boat is committed to supporting the men and women who have served our country. We’re proud to partner with veteran organizations like the PTSD Foundation of America and Camp Hope to ensure that our heroes get the care and support they deserve. Just as the Higgins boat provided a lifeline for soldiers during the war, we believe in providing a lifeline for those who are fighting the invisible wounds of PTSD today.
Honoring Military History Through Action
Our mission goes beyond the bottle. Each purchase of Higgins Boat rum helps support veterans in need. By aligning with organizations like Camp Hope, which provides transitional housing for combat veterans struggling with PTSD, we are able to make a real, lasting impact on the lives of those who have given so much for our country.
We believe that honoring our military history isn’t just about remembering the past — it’s about taking action in the present to make a difference in the lives of our veterans. That’s why Higgins Boat is proud to contribute to programs that provide therapy, community, and resources to help veterans heal and rebuild their lives.
