Innovation and design in rum - Andrew gave a good tour. Very informative and friendly. Educational and the sampling was fun. Loved that they didn’t add any colour and it is a focus on flavour throughout the process. A small distillery but nice to get out of the touristy part of New Orleans and see a grass roots company with innovative direction in the rum game.
