Learn More About My Story

I have been brewing since I was 20 and have learned that, with a touch of patience, I could have great tasting beverages at my fingertips.  This has led into a lifelong passion for cooking and brewing tasty things to eat and drink. I have always loved the thrill of brewing and have often had to force myself to keep out of the brew until it was ready to drink. Over time, curiosity led me from brewing to distilling where I found my true passion. After graduating from Texas Tech, I pursued that passion, and Pinkerton’s Distillery was born in Lubbock, TX.

I hope you enjoy drinking Pinkerton’s rum as much as I enjoy making it.​
