Desert Diamond Distillery

We are incredibly honored to have our story featured!

A huge thank you to Christina Fuoco-Karasinski for taking the time to visit with us and share the story behind Desert Diamond Distillery.

While we're proud of our recent 98-point Gold Outstanding recognition at the IWSC, what means even more to us is the opportunity to tell the story of our family, our community, and the journey we've been on since opening our doors in Kingman in 2010.

If you have a few minutes, we'd love for you to read the article and learn a little more about why we chose Kingman, why we believed in rum when it was the underdog, and why we continue to believe that patience and quality make all the difference.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the past 17 years. We couldn't have done it without you.

ONE OF ONLY 16 IN THE WORLD

We are incredibly proud to share that our Barrel Reserve Rum Aged Ten Years has earned a Gold Outstanding Medal and a score of 98 points at the 2026 International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC).

Only sixteen rums worldwide received this score.

For our family, this recognition represents seventeen years of hard work, patience, and a commitment to producing exceptional spirits right here in Kingman, Arizona.

What makes this achievement even more meaningful is that it continues a remarkable run of international recognition, including six major IWSC honors since 2020.

To everyone who has visited the distillery, taken a tour, enjoyed a tasting, shared a cocktail with friends, dined at Catrenella's, purchased a bottle, or simply supported us over the years...

Thank you.
You helped make this possible.
From our family to yours, we are grateful.
