This is a double-feature episode. Our guest owns a rum company and is a multi-instrumentalist including the drums.
Eric Kaye is the founder of Holmes Cay Rum, a premium brand that seeks and curates the finest rums from around the world and releases them without additives.

After exploring nearly every island in the Caribbean, and drinking exceptional rum along the way, Kaye realized the U.S. spirits market lacked access to those special, rare rums from around the globe. Recognizing that access to unadulterated rums was extremely limited in the United States, Kaye saw an opportunity to focus on hard-to-obtain aged expressions, presented with transparency, and launched Holmes Cay in 2019.

Kaye’s deep rum knowledge and connections with highly regarded distilleries worldwide enable him to bottle and import rare casks and terroir-based blends to discerning drinkers and rum aficionados alike.

Eric and I talk about the following:
- His 25-year career in the music business, writing and producing songs and commercials that you have heard before
- How he got into rum and his journey on starting Holmes Cay

We hit him with the In Four Sips & Beats or Less

• Neat or on Ice?
• Who's on your Mt Rushmore of drummers?
• You travel all around the world, what’s the one place that your heart is with?
• Did video really kill the radio star?

There's a new captain in town or maybe it's a demon.

When it comes to the term “spirits”, do we still look at the word rum the same as it was referred to during prohibition back in the 1920s or back further when the term rum originated in the 1650s as first mentioned in records from Barbados as “kill-devil”? But do some still believe that the spirit in the bottle if imbibed too much can release a demon?

Our guest is Wayne Karls, Co-founder and CMO of Demon Spirits

Wayne and I talk about:
- Spirits, demons, and rum
- An eco-friendly bottle that’s six times less carbon and is five times lighter than a glass bottle of the same size.

• Neat or on Ice?
• Best place for cheese curds?
• Favre or Rodgers?
