Wildcat Brothers

“Cool kids on the block is an understatement. Gator Cove is the address and Wild Cat Brothers is the destination.”- Elisse

Wild Cat Brothers has set the bar where creativity meets intelligence and offers the flavor packed gift that keeps giving- Rum. Future plans spanning across the country are fueled by snake oil, rogue peacocks, and sugar cane dreams. Founders Tait Martin and David Meaux have created an award winning rum that can pull the deepest of Bourbon lovers down the rabbit hole into their Gator Cove Haven This is the introduction to the Wild Cat Brothers Distillery and their product is here to stay

When my dear friend and uber talented artist, Victoria Lane Alleman, told me I need to meet the wonderful human that is Tait Martin, she told me to prepare for quite a fun experience. This was quickly encouraged by the first of many text conversations with my new favorite person, “Ready to plan world domination” - Tait. I knew the game was afoot and I could not wait to meet this mysterious visionary

Tait Martin is one side of this crazy train that is taking the south by storm He considers himself a “Recovering Professor and Scientist” and is using his colorful resume and creative genius to push the boundaries of the mixology world.

It has been many years since I have crossed the property line of Gator Cove and I can honestly say this team is giving this local landmark a very respectful make-over. Cultural preservation is a motivating force that these gentlemen have inherited and are proud to maintain

The log cabin inspired space oozes a cozy vibe that is the perfect layer to invite guests in, and stay a while The “star attraction” rum bar is located when you walk in on the left, and then I hear- “ Hey Boo” An instant connection was formed and what was a scheduled one hour meeting turned out to be a 3 hour conversation on world domination, Acadiana Culture, how to make waves here and all things Louisiana Rum.

As I cross the construction line from the front property, I make my way to the original building’s top floor and find myself in the land of Rum and Wilderness -executed in Acadian flair
