Rum
A Certified Master Rummelier®, 7th Sky Ventures CEO Isabella Rosal collaborates with distilleries and producers to create a unique blend that suites the palate of aficionados and lovers all over the world. There is rum for everybody.
Made with essential oils and recycled food-grade alcohol, our line of home fragrances is a natural and healthy alternative to commercial air fresheners.The alcohol base for the spray comes from the production of our delicious craft rum. The spray bottles are BPA-free and rated PET (1) which makes them highly recyclable.

Natural home fragrances produced from rum distillery waste
Our commitment to sustainability: past and present projects
From an environmental standpoint, distillation is the most harmful part of rum production.
TBD Cafe, a brainchild of 7thSky founder Isabella Rosal, collaborated with USF researchers on a study to evaluate the effects of anaerobic digestion of food waste using tea leaves.
The post-consumer food waste was collected from USF dining facilities, processed, and mixed with oolong, green, and black tea leaves provided by TBD Cafe.
The researchers compared the anaerobic digestion of the food waste alone vs. mixed with the tea leaves and found that the addition of the tea leaves resulted in significantly higher production of valuable biomethane gas.
This important discovery shed light on the role that the tea industry can play globally in meeting recycling goals by improving bioenergy production.
On average, a 750-milliliter bottle of rum produces 6.5 pounds of carbon dioxide.
7th Sky Ventures found a solution to the waste problem by turning spent distillation ingredients into natural home fragrances, such as room and linen sprays. Items are available at 7th Sky retail site.
The project received wide recognition among the environmental science experts and was covered by a variety of news media. Learn more here.
The alcohol base for the spray is a redistillation of the waste products left from the rum production, and the fragrant components are derived from natural essential oils. The packaging is 100% recyclable, making the product a natural and healthy alternative to commercial air fresheners.
