blind rum tasting
Join us Saturday, Sept. 6th, from 2–4 PM at Deuce Athletics for a blind rum tasting of all three of my rums: baseline, variable (dunderclap), & variable (tailspin)!
Blind tastings are my absolute favorite way to experience spirits. They unlock and train your palate, whether you’re brand new to rum or already a pro. They’re fun, humbling, and always surprising. If you’ve tried my rums before, this is your chance to put your palate to the test. And if you haven’t — what better way to get to know them?
When?Saturday, September 6th from 2-4 pm
The "workout":
Warm-Up: Kick things off with a delicious welcome cocktail.
Strength: Quick, fun breakdown of rum fermentation & distillation.
Accessory Work: Blind taste my 3 unaged, pot-distilled molasses rums.
Conditioning: Guess each rum! If you're able to correctly guess all three rums, you get to take home your very own rum et al. wee Glencairn tasting glass!!
How much? It's just $35/person to join us! Venmo @robyn-smith-4018 to secure your spot.
Where?: 600 PCH, Hermosa Beach (Deuce Athletics)
