baseline by rum et al 49% (750ml)
$75.00
THE STORY: We’re huge fans of Dr. Robyn Smith and her Los Angeles microdistillery “rum et al” where she applies her knowledge and scientific rigor from her PhD. in chemical engineering to the art of rum production. Her rums are bold, powerful and explosively delicious and we’re delighted to distribute her creations across the US!
THE RUM (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.
don’t let the term baseline fool you, the rum is flavorful and delicious. that comes from the choice of quality raw ingredients, the long-duration fermentation, and the pot distillation.

Moongazer 9 yr Guyana Versailles Pot Still Rum
$45.00Over 250 yrs old, Diamond Distillery’s legendary Versailles still is one of only two wooden pot stills in existence (FIRE & WOOD aren’t a formula for longevity?!?) and this bottle is a classic example of its intoxicatingly pungent notes of raisin syrup, birdseed, mocha, charred banana, black tea and ozone.

Kinnara 9 yr Thailand Rum
$40.00We’re excited to be one of the very first IBs to release a rum from Thailand. While most of their domestic releases are heavily sweetened, we were so thrilled that their unadulterated distillate is wonderful stuff (at a reasonable price!) that we bought two casks. We’ve always wanted a quality “gateway” rum that was instantly accessible to rum newbies but still had the complexity and stamina to impress jaded rum aficionados. We were thrilled to find this rum in Thailand, a new country for most rum drinkers.
Why is this the “male” cask? He has a strong lingering oaky finish while his sibling “female cask” opens beautifully with lush, resonant floral notes.
