Note: Watch this episode on YouTube for video of the whole interview!
In this episode, we sat down with Nicolas Palazzi, the founder of PM Spirits. As a self-proclaimed "provider of geeky spirits" PM is an importer/distributor known for supplying the US with many sought-after rum releases thanks to relationships with brands like La Maison & Velier, Père Labat, Alambique Serrano, and many more.
It was a fascinating conversation that touched on everything from visiting rum locales like Marie-Galante and Hampden Estate to the challenges of growing the rum category. We discussed:
Nicolas's journey from working as an engineer in France to becoming a spirits importer in Brooklyn
Blending rums at Hampden for an upcoming collaboration with Habitation Velier
The magic of Marie-Galante rum
Growing the Mexican rum category
How Alambique Serrano has gotten so much early attention
Authenticity in spirits
Lessons from 10+ years bringing obscure spirits into the US market
What he looks for when evaluating a spirits producer
Why he will forever be known as Captain Cognac (despite John's attempts at new nicknames)
And much more!
