Mermaid Spirits Distillery — Attraction in Upper Moreland Township

After a chance buy of Mermaid Spirits Xamaica rum at the PLCB store, I was very pleased with the quality and saw that it was produced in Huntingdon Valley, not far from my home.

Tasted several of their spirits - standouts were their aged rum, port-barrel-aged whiskey, Martinique style rum, and ‘pomplemocello’ (like limoncello, but with grapefruit), but there wasn’t a bad one in the bunch.
