A house thattravels on trust.
Who we are, why we began, and the seven hundred islands we carry for.
To the makers we hope to represent, and the bars we hope to serve,
The Bahamas pours for some of the most discerning guests in the world. Too often, what fills those glasses arrives by whichever route is cheapest, and the care a maker put into their work is lost somewhere at sea.
I founded Distant Shore to close that distance. We will work with few makers, and we will know each of them personally. We will carry their work as if it were our own, and place it only where it will be treated properly.
We are new, and I will not pretend otherwise. What we offer in place of a long history is a long view: partnerships measured in decades, standards that do not bend, and a founder who answers the phone.
If that sounds like the kind of company you would like to keep, I would be glad to hear from you.
Nassau, The Bahamas
Clarence spent more than a decade in banking, where the work is judging what is built to last and protecting what others entrust to you. Distant Shore brings that discipline to the bar trade, with clear terms, careful stewardship of every maker’s name, and partnerships meant to compound over decades rather than turn over by the season.
Seven hundred islands, one standard. In 2025 The Bahamas welcomed a record 12.5 million visitors, more than 1.8 million of them staying guests, and everything they are poured arrives across open water. We know where the product needs to be, and what it takes to arrive in perfect condition.

“An island is only as good as what it chooses to let ashore. We intend to be very particular company.”The founding principle
