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!
