In this episode, we sat down with Pedro Ferreira, founder and distiller of O Reizinho, one of the jewels of Madeira's fascinating rum scene. While O Reizinho is one of the island's smallest distilleries, it's quickly earning a great reputation among enthusiasts for its distinctive cane juice rums.

We talked to Pedro about:

What sets Madeira rums apart

Evolving his father's small distillery from a clandestine "friends and family" operation to a commercial producer

The unique challenges of cane cultivation in Madeira

What it's like to send your rums through the tasting panel that certifies Madeira rum

The pros and cons of operating a distillery from your own garage

The direct-fire Portuguese stills that craft O Reizinho's rum

Madeira's quirky age statement rules

Local rum culture

And more!
