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.

Burning Cane (15 yr Barbados Foursquare)
$49.99We jumped all over this cask instantly – currently there isn’t a hotter distillery in rum than Foursquare and its hype as “The Pappy Van Winkle of rum” is fully deserved: Powerful and multi-dimensional yet very approachable, even for rum newbies. Some single cask Foursquares trade for four figures … but our Burning Cane gets you cask strength world class juice at an impressive 15 years of aging for less than $50. At the time of this bottle’s release we compared this to Foursqaure’s vaunted Exceptional Cask Series – it would have ranked #1 for highest ABV and #3 for longest aging.
Cask strength Foursquare of this age can be a seductive gateway to fine rum, with fragrant summer fruit notes to grab cognac aficionados & the caramel intensity and oaky backbone to pull in whiskey fans. This cask’s luscious kettle corn opening evolves to a prolonged tree bark and gingerbread cookie finish.
