dunderclap by rum et al 49% ABV (750 ml)
$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): on the nose dunderclap (49% abv) has so much cinnamon and raisins with notes of custard. there’s citrus, like orange zest and orange blossom, along with brown butter. there isn’t any heat at all. the aromas are filled with syrupy fruits. on the palate the mouthfeel is oily and silky with no heat. there are immediate notes of dried figs, fig jam, and prunes. lots of prunes! there’s candied orange, toasted cinnamon stick, fresh grated nutmeg, and golden raisins. i also get notes of vanilla and honey.

$45.00We think of this as the “Everything Bagel” of rums. It’s a sumptuous smorgasbord that checks a wild variety of flavors: Sea salt caramel, bitter mocha, baking spices, toasted oak, a little citrus zing, a touch of funky petrol.

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.
