Welcome to
Rare Spirits explores the world through travel & adventure documentaries, with a rum & spirits lens.
We travel beyond the bottle to uncover the people, places, traditions, and craftsmanship that give every spirit its identity.
Through cinematic documentaries, each expedition becomes a journey into the culture that shaped it.
We travel the world producing cinematic documentaries that uncover extraordinary places, people, and the spirits that bring them together.
Every expedition follows local traditions, craftsmanship, and untold stories, from remote landscapes to historic aging houses.
1oz — EXPEDITION
Every destination has its own identity. Through our films, we preserve the stories, traditions, and craftsmanship that define each place and the people who call it home.
Our first expedition took us to Cambodia. Venezuela is now in pre-production, with Puerto Rico, Brazil, Jamaica, and beyond to follow.
2oz — CULTURE
Rare Spirits Society is a global network of 1,000+ explorers, founders, creators, and collectors across more than 38 countries, united by curiosity and a passion for authentic discovery.
Together, we follow every expedition, exchange ideas, and help shape the next chapter of the journey.

OUR MANIFESTO
Sir Byron is The Goat, he can climb any mountain.
And guided by him, Rare Spirits will get out there.
We will go where no one else has.
In search of the most unique barrels of Rum,
Rare Spirits will travel the world, no looking back!
We will uncover every continent, every corner, every crack.
We will try any rum, at least once.
Rare Spirits will set out to acquire the gems.
But we won’t follow maps other men have made.
We will follow our big hairy audacious goal, all around the world.
Living the dream, from Sugarcane to Liquid Gold.
Rare Spirits Explore uncharted territories,
And then share those stories, with a drink in hand.
We will own, the finest collection of rare rums and rare minds.
We know this journey will change us, and we’ll drink to that.
So pack your bags, we’re leaving.
Shoulders back!

Manifesto
WHY RARE RUM?
Because we live & breathe Rare Rum. It's what we love.
"Having created the first distillery & rum brand in Cambodia 12 years ago, travelled the rum world, certified Ronmelier, built Rare Spirits Society, I’ve been immersed in the rum industry and have noticed what some call The Rum Renaissance."
