ROBERT WAYMAR GIN

Founded by Jack and Henry Perkins, Waymar Gin House was born from a makeshift copper still, a kitchen-turned-lab, and hours of moonshining in the backyard of their home on Waymar Drive in Memphis, Tennessee. Their shared passion for gin and admiration of its rich heritage led to the creation of their first spirit – a dangerously smooth gin made with a balanced blend of all-natural botanicals and distilled corn-spirit. This gin delivers layers of flavor that unfold with each sip, evolving from bright citrus zest to subtle undertones of cucumber and rose, ending with an evergreen crescendo and a hint of spice. $31.98 $39.99 ROBERTO SANTA TERESA 1796 SOLERA RUM Rated 96-100 Points by Wine Enthusiast and Double Gold Medal San Francisco World Spirits Competition Santa Teresa 1796 Rum is made from fresh, ripe sugarcane harvested exclusively from Hacienda Santa Teresa. After the sweetest sugarcane growing on the estate is harvested by hand, it is crushed, and the remaining molasses are fermented with a proprietary yeast strain. Following fermentation, a portion of the wash is distilled through column stills, while the remainder is distilled through pot stills. The wash distilled through the column stills produces a light rum in flavor and body,

while the copper pot stills produce a more intense and robust rum. Once the rum has been distilled, it is matured through a solera composed of French Limousin oak casks. Solera aging is a process that has generally been reserved for cognacs, ports, and sherries. It involves filling a series of casks at different intervals over a long period. As rum from the oldest cask is emptied and bottled, the cask is re-filled with an equivalent amount of rum from the second-oldest cask in the solera. This cascading effect continues until the youngest cask in the solera is filled with new rum. As a result, no cask in the solera is ever fully emptied. In addition, as the younger rum cascades through the solera, its average age and complexity gradually increases over time. $42.98 $49.99
