KLYR Rum said it purchased Holy Water Distillery, a craft distillery located in Lewisberry, Pennsylvania. Launched in 2021 with Holy Water Distillery, KLYR Rum has experienced strong growth and increasing demand as the brand expands in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Florida and Las Vegas and is now the preferred rum of choice for the MLB’s Philadelphia Phillies.
Holy Water Distillery was opened by Victoria and Kevin Close in 2018. Quickly becoming a local craft favorite, their spirit brand Crostwater Distilled Spirits began raking in awards for its various offerings, such as gin, vodka, spiced rum, whiskey, bourbon, flavored whiskey and more. Their daughter, 24-year-old Master Distiller Lexi Close, now distills over 10 spirits including KLYR Rum.
