Roaming Road Spirits: From Liquor Store Owner to Rum Bottler w/ Mike Gilmore

Support the Rumcast on Patreon to get bonus episodes, online happy hours, and more:   / therumcast   In this episode, we sat down with Mike Gilmore, founder of Roaming Road Spirits, to go behind the scenes at one of the newest independent rum bottlers in the U.S. Roaming Road first got on our radar last year when they came out of the gate hot with an impressive slate of initial rum releases that included a memorable diamond H Hampden rum, among others. With Roaming Road's second wave of releases now out (which we tasted through on a recent bonus episode), we figured now was the right time to get their full story. We chatted with Mike about: His journey from liquor store owner to rum bottler Why he thinks store barrel picks have gotten worse in recent years Why he travels thousands of miles to sample casks in person (rather than receiving samples by mail) His tasting process What he looks for in a great rum How he ended up bottling a 17-year-old rum from Spain (and details on where it came from) The impact of cask finishes And much more! Have a listen and let us know your thoughts and questions in a comment below. Cheers!
