Hello, Ernesto here.
Sweltering in the sun today. Glad to have a large palm tree and some Bay Rum.
Cheers
The story of Bay Rum begins with the essential oil derived from the leaves of the bay tree growing in the Virgin Islands, Cuba, Dominica and other islands of the Caribbean. The oil, along with its aroma, is extracted from the crushed leaves by a process of distillation, boiling the leaves under pressure, then allowing the sediment to settle, leaving a pure, fragrant oil that becomes the most important ingredient in what we call Bay Rum today. Early “recipes” were born out of need. The rewards were many to those who used Bay Rum:
Despite Bay Rum’s exotic origins, our Turtle Bay after shave, fragrance, and shave creams are made right here in the United States. We are confident that trying our Premium Bay Rum products will not only convert your senses to enjoying a more “masculine” scent, but appreciating the history of a product once produced in primitive Bay Rum stills by island-born entrepreneurs before electricity or running.
