About this bottle

Tailwinds Distilling, founded by brothers Toby and Jamey Beall, honors their family's connection to American aviation. Their rums are produced using first-boil molasses, rather than blackstrap, which results in a fresher character closer to agricole. Taildragger Amber is placed directly into Kentucky rye barrels after distillation and ages for approximately eighteen months.

Carlos Villalobos 4.0

Aromas of flowers and marshmallow are present, though a rye spice note emerges. The palate offers vanilla and rye spice, with only a hint of marshmallow.

Kane Gregory 5.0

Rye, vanilla, and marshmallows. Reminds me of a unique candy bar. I'd forgotten about rum. So pleased to have rediscovered it.
