Check out Kiowa on Instagram. Before working for Spiribam, she was at The Eveleigh. She is on the board of Another Round Another Rally.

Kiowa's boss is Ben Jones, a descendant of Homere Clément, who founded Rhum Clément. During Clément's lifetime, Mount Pelée erupted, one of the largest eruptions in recorded history, wiping out an entire city.

Hopefully, we can chat again and discuss another product she was very proud of, Chairman's Reserve from St. Lucia.

The difference between Rhum Agricole and Cachaça

Why should tipping be abolished?

Kiowa mentions congeners. What are they? They impart flavor into spirits.

When Kiowa mentions Agricole being distilled between 65 and 75 degrees, she is talking about its proofing.

The most iconic Agricole cocktail is Ti' Punch. Kiowa is a big fan of using Agricole in place of gin for a Martini, or as she calls it, a Martini(que)

Kiowa Bryan hails from Vermont originally, where she took her first job in hospitality over 20 years ago. While at The Eveleigh in Los Angeles, she first tasted a Ti’Punch and realized her intended career path advocating for the education of all things Rhum Agricole and the French Caribbean. Since then, she's been lucky enough to spend the last seven years growing professionally into the role of US Brand Manager of Spiribam Fine Spirits Family while the company did the same, expanding into a seven-brand portfolio. In her spare time, she listens to Christmas carols far into February, studies history, and snuggles her dog Martinique Warrilow McFly.
