The Noble Experiment was written up in the Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/28/fashion/bridget-firtle-rum-distiller-up-close.html), and went to check it out with some friends.
The founder is the sole employee so far, and it's impressive how far she's gotten so far, including teaching herself how to distill spirits. The tour was super informative about the challenges of starting up a distillery and the process of distilling itself.
I just wish we got to taste more rum at the end!
