The Inaugural Launch Collection

$224 - four 375ml bottles box set 
NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE with PICK UP AT the spinnaker distillery

Spinnaker’s inaugural release brings together four exceptional marques from some of the most iconic rum distilleries in the world. This curated set of four 375ml bottles are each drawn from a long-aged single cask selected from Foursquare in Barbados, Hampden and Worthy Park in Jamaica, and Diamond’s Port Mourant distillate in Guyana.

​

After careful importation, each rum was finished in local Austin, Texas ex-bourbon barrels for at least five months, then hand-bottled at high proof, with no additives, adulteration, or chill filtration. This collection is an unparalleled journey through terroir, tradition, and technique. It’s my personal Mount Rushmore of rum - the essential set that instantly earns top-shelf status.

​​

Extremely limited quantity with under 400 total box sets. Each box comes beautifully packaged with a lot of special additional goodies included, you won't want to miss out.​

 

You can now secure your purchase of Spinnaker Rum directly through this website! Once your order is placed, I’ll personally reach out to coordinate a pickup time at the distillery located in north east Austin, Texas. While I'm not yet able to ship bottles, that capability is coming soon — so stay tuned. For now, all online purchases will be held safely at the distillery until you (or someone you designate) can pick them up. Please note that Texas laws limit bottle pickups to 3,000 mL every 30 days (eight total Spinnaker bottles).
