Spirit Hound Distillers turns flood into product feature
Flood-aged Mountain Bum Rum proceeds donated to rebuilding efforts
We’ve all heard the phrase, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” So when confronted with historical flooding at its Lyons, Colo., distillery last year, Spirit Hound Distillers turned an unfortunate situation into a unique opportunity.
After flood waters caused barrels of its aging rum to float around the distillery for a day, the company decided to bottle the Mountain Bum Rum from one of the barrels.
