Item Description
Raff Distillerie was founded on Treasure Island in the heart of the San Francisco Bay in 2011 by Master Distiller, Carter Raff. It sat inside the old Navy Brigg. In 2018, the distillery moved its operations into the historic “Butchertown” district, known today as the Bayview in San Francisco. The new distillery was 95% built by the partners and includes a tasting room open to the public on weekends. Raff Distillerie remains a privately owned business by the three partners.
The three craft spirits included in this item are:
Barbary Coast Rhum Agricole Rum
Barbary Coast Agricole Rhum is a drier style of rum that has a lot more earthy, grassy notes. It is made from fermenting the entire juice from sugar cane, unlike typical rum which is made from fermenting molasses, a by-product of refining sugar cane juice into white sugar. Raff Distillerie ferments sugar cane juice from Colombia and then distills it into high proof rhum.

Bummer & Lazarus Gin
Made from 100% California grapes in small batches. It is light on the juniper, citrus forward with floral notes and a spicy finished.
94 points, Gold Medal winner.
Emperor Norton San Francisco Absinthe Dieu
This premium spirit is a perfect representation of the absinthe served all over Paris 130 years ago. Woody hints of wormwood and a gentle taste of anise followed by floral and citrus undertones. This absinthe creates complex flavors not seen in other absinthes by using only traditional herbs picked for their fresh and vibrant flavors. Raff Distillerie personally imports both wormwoods from 30 miles outside Pontarlier France, the home of absinthe.
