Chris and Damola from Spearhead Spirits stop by to talk about their quest to bring African spirits out of obscurity and onto the back bar. With a vodka, a gin made with African botanicals and an agave spirit (much to Greg’s delight) the two are on a mission to introduce the world to a range of flavors they didn’t know they didn’t know about. Together they talk about starting a company right around the time the Suez Canal got jammed, getting agave to grow on a whole new continent, and their plans for the future.Plus, Amor y Amargo is back in its old space and Greg’s old boss is back in the news! One’s good, one’s not so good. You can probably figure out which is which but tune in anyway.Follow Bayab Gin on instagram at @bayabginFollow Sango Agave on instagram at @sangoafricanagaveLove The Speakeasy but wish there was more?
