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 (from Dr. Robyn Smith PhD): tailspin reminds me of juicy fruit gum and sweet & tangy barbeque on the nose. there are also musky and damp wood notes that remind me of eucalyptus branches after a heavy rain. it’s quite different from dunderclap and baseline! on the palate it’s creamy with immediate notes of prunes and burnt caramel. it’s roasty, yet fruity and sweet, like grilled peaches. that damp wood note carries through to the palate and is accompanied by some spices like cloves and anise.
with water added, tailspin (49%) becomes fruitier with notes of dried mango and creamsicle on the nose. there’s also cinnamon peaking through along with wet branches. 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.
PRODUCTION: 18 day fermentation, pot still, triple distilled with tails and dunder
STRENGTH: 49% ABV

Manora 9 yr Thailand Rum Blend
$35.00Asian countries speak of the half human/half bird Kinnaree and Kinnara. A famous Thai play involves “Manora”, a Kinnaree that was captured & gifted to Prince Suthon who fell in love with her. When Suthon left for war, jealous advisers convinced the King to sacrifice Manora. Manora escaped and fled to her homeland. The prince went on a quest to find his beloved & they returned to court to live happily ever after. When performed, “Manora” was often played by a male, reflective of Thailand’s historical acceptance of gender fluidity. This blend celebrates their acceptance of LGBTQ & transgender people (which includes our youngest daughter)..
Our “female” cask opens beautifully with lush, floral notes while our “male” Thai cask has a strong lingering oaky finish, making this a perfect “gender blend”!
