A Different Bend

The team behind turning the the Leisure Town of Modern Times into Villains Brewery in Orange County will be giving the former Portuguese Bend space a do-over, with former Blinking Owl master distiller Massimiliano Stecca at the still.

The Mosaic / Promenade is getting a new wave of producers such as the softly opened Altar Society, ISM Brewing taking over the Beachwood BBQ space and now the return of distilling after the acrimonious departure of the Portuguese Bend.

Turn over just might draw me as well as others to day trip.

The Queen

Here is more about the (2) new rums:

Spiced rum – “Made with whole spices, no added chemicals, nothing artificial. Warm spice notes of cinnamon, allspice, vanilla and a hint of orange citrus.”
