variable Tailspin 750ml 49% ABV (rum et al)
$75.00$
From Dr. Robyn Smith, PhD: tailspin (49%) with notes of dried mango and creamsicle on the nose. there’s also cinnamon peaking through along with wet branches. on the palate.
tailspin at still strength (75.8%) reminds me of juicy fruit gum and sweet & tangy barbeque on the nose. On the palate, notes of dried figs and apples come forward, followed by roasted cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg. the burnt caramel and prune note comes through on the finish.

dunderclap still strength by rum et al 74% ABV (375 ml)
$60.00From Dr. Robyn Smith, PhD: dunderclap at still strength (74/75%) has similar notes to 49% dunderclap, but the flavors and aromas are much more concentrated. on the nose there’s a variety of fruits, like dried apples, fruit leather, fig jam, raisins, and prunes. there are notes of vanilla and caramel alongside smarties and a touch of musk. on the palate, the sip is very oily and has very little heat. the first flavors i get are grape jelly and fig jam. there’s some earthiness that reminds me of wet branches. there are notes of candied grapefruit and honey roasted macadamia nuts.

baseline still strength by rum et al 75% ABV (375 ml)

baseline by rum et al 49% (750ml)
$75.00(by Dr. Robyn Smith, PhD): this rum is named baseline because that’s exactly what i want it to act as, a baseline for all of our other rums to be compared to. it is a no-frills, straightforward rum with absolutely no additives (except for water to bring it down to bottling strength). it’s fermented from 100% baking grade molasses for 2.5-3 weeks using the distiller’s yeast strain of saccharomyces cerevisiae. it’s then double pot distilled to a spirit strength of 75% abv. these are extremely small batches.
