In this episode of the Uncapped podcast, I have the pleasure of chatting with Brian and Ashley Allen, the passionate founders of True Standard Distilling. We talked about the upcoming grand opening that takes place on May 29th. They share the story behind their distillery’s name, highlighting the deep meaning of "distilling" as opposed to "distillery" and the hurdles they've faced in trademarking their brand. We dive into their craft of rum-making, where their commitment to quality is front and center: staying true to the standard of aged, additive-free rum. They introduce their diverse lineup, including a unique silver spiced rum and one of their amazing aged rums, Oxford Reserve. Plus, they give us a behind-the-scenes look at their thoughtfully designed facility—featuring a barrel room inspired by natural aging conditions and an archive room filled with historical batches. Throughout our conversation, they share inspiring insights into their journey from passionate hobbyists to proud distillery owners in Frederick, Maryland, and reflect on the incredible support they've received from their local community. We also discussed a proposal taking place at the distillery. This is a story of passion, craftsmanship, and community that you won’t want to miss!
