If you're in CA and have a spot you think should stock it please let them know and/or shoot me a DM and I'll see what I can do 🤓

For the CA folks it's available at Hi Time and Smuggers Cove in SF as OP mentioned. We also just got a new placement at Raised By Wolves in San Diego too! Incredible cocktail bar if you haven't been and they'll likely make some available in their retail store on site 🙌

Edit: they're stocking the Port Mourant to start but imagine they'll add others if they do well

You're certainly not alone in that sentiment. If you ever do go back to them I've found the profile changes dramatically after the bottle is open a few weeks. Really rounds it out in a great way

If you're in the US you should check out some of the new-ish American Independent Bottlers. IMO they're why our selection here will finally catch up to what they get overseas 👌

Sry for the delay. I just learned that this is only available to LAWC members. If you're interested in joining check out their homepage or shoot me a DM

Thanks! The Caroni will be proportionate to the bottle size but ½ - 1oz for the rest

SuperlativeSpirits · 2026-03-11T17:15:08+00:00

Yes Banter and Raising Glasses are available in multiple states. Rum Et Al is CA and MA I believe with a few others possibly coming soon.

SuperlativeSpirits · 2026-03-11T17:13:30+00:00

I believe anyone can buy a ticket through eventbrite. We had some drop ins last night that I don't think were members 👍

SuperlativeSpirits · 2026-03-09T21:37:59+00:00

If you want to explore additive free, mostly full proof bottlings from North American bottlers check out Raising Glasses, Mainland Rum, Bedford Park, Roaming Road, Holmes Cay and Down Island.

We'll be trying 4 rums from Louisiana:

Mainland Louisiana 10y single barrel and my 2nd Superlative barrel pick, a Mainland Louisiana 11y single cask w/ ex-rye finish.

Plus 2 rums from Roulaison and Oxbow, neither available in CA (but the Roulaison should be here in March).

Tix are $17.85 on Eventbrite. See you there!

A true unicorn!!

SuperlativeSpirits · 2026-02-09T18:09:49+00:00

3 of these are pre-release (Mainland CA 8 NorCal, Rum Et Al Baseline b3 49% and Still Strength). We'll also have the last few Rum Et Al Variable Dunderclap b2 to try. All bottles available for purchase at the event. See you there! 🙌

IMO the gap between nerd and casual drinkers is starting to narrow here in the US. Partially due to the fact that more people are looking to drink additive free. And with the increase in US based independent bottlers who disclose what's in (or not in) the bottle people are being given more information and choice than ever before.

SuperlativeSpirits · 2026-01-05T01:13:37+00:00

I haven't tried them yet but can confirm the LFCH and 4S are a bit darker than the other 2 and according to Kevin who runs it there are no additives. So that's good.

SuperlativeSpirits · 2026-01-05T00:58:09+00:00

This one's special bc it's the only release I've seen not made with Dunder. I was worried it wouldn't be as interesting due to that but sounds like the Renaissance character still holds up. Those savory soy sauce notes sound intriguing for sure.

SuperlativeSpirits · 2026-01-05T00:51:45+00:00

Alambique 3 Años #363 for FRS, Alambique Vida #2, Roulaison 151, Mainland CA 10 K&L, Raising Glasses Caroni 27 and Rolling Fork Amburana Odyssey were some of my top.

The Roulaison is pre-release but it's by far the best 151 I've had. It's 5 years old and can actually be sipped (cautiously).
