I’m flying to the West Coast soon and will be travelling from San Francisco to LA. I’m only staying in each city for a short while and I’ve never been there, but would like to bring back home a liquid souvenir or two.
Does anyone have any shops worth visiting to pick up a nice rum in San Francisco, Las Vegas or Palm Springs - preferably in SF?
@Oliver is the man 
Are you on any of the Facebook rum groups like ministry of rum, rum kingdom? I think most of OP’s are in the US
No, I’m not extremely active on classic social media. Was hoping someone here had a couple of pointers. 
Sorry, did your trip, but too long ago torecommend anything useful 
The information below is over 12 months old but could try the following;
CA has a great selection (muuuuch better than OR). Check out K&L, Bitters & Bottles, Hi-Time, Mission… all have a large selection plus barrel picks, and will ship in-state. If you tell us your route or where you’re staying, there may be additional boutique bottle shops we can recommended as well.
CA: Bitters & Bottles, Del Mesa, Mission Liquors, Chips
Doctor Bird Rums
El cerito
If you’re going through SF, check out the Healthy Spirits on Valencia
Aloha Oregon and Farmington Liquor—though small it has a terrific rum collection and a place to go to for locals in the know.
I am from Oregon but live in Germany, and i always struggle to find good rum when i‘m back home. Will definitely check out this shop next time!
