At long last, the day arrived — we visited the Main Rum Company in person to taste through dozens of incredible rum casks in search of the perfect one for our ongoing single cask project! In this episode, we take you inside the journey (and inside the warehouse itself) to show you exactly what it’s like to pick a rum cask for release.

You'll hear about:

A step-by-step breakdown of the entire in-person tasting day at Main Rum

What a rum cask "offer sheet" looks like (and the types of casks they pulled for us) — check out the video version for a closer look at this

The unusual brief we gave Main Rum on the types of casks we were seeking

Standout casks we tasted throughout the day

Excerpts from inside the warehouse as we tasted our way through unforgettable casks

And much more!

Our goal was to make it feel like you are there with us, so we included a lot of clips we captured inside the warehouse. Have a listen, and let us know what else you’d like to learn about the process!
