In this episode, the Whisky Snobs are joined by Evan, founder of Parhelia Spirits, a new independent bottler focused on releases that showcase unique and uncommon flavor profiles.

Tune in to hear about Evan’s path from rum enthusiast to full-on spirits entrepreneur, and how his passion turned into a business—complete with the realities of sourcing barrels, navigating regulations, and building a brand.

We also taste through three standout Parhelia releases: a wild Indonesian rum, a funky Guadeloupe agricole, and a bold Barbados pot still rum—plus a bit of discussion on pot vs. column stills, the Barbados GI debate, and what makes independent bottling special, from Parhelia’s intense tasting panels to the people and community behind the scenes.

Listen in for an inside look at a rising independent bottler—and some seriously interesting pours!
