Tucker
Meet our bartender Tucker! She has been in the food industry since she was 13 and has taught middle and high school for 23 years. She has stuck to the beach towns of Virginia Beach, Surf City, Topsail Beach, and now hitting Carolina Beach at Four Hounds Distilling. Tucker has worked every position in the service industry: dishwasher, bartender, server, general manager and private caterer. She loves to make people smile and feel at home… some even call her Mother Tucker. Tucker has the gift of gab, contagious laughter, and tons of southern hospitality. Her favorite Four Hounds flavor is the screaming beagle or the Bark and Stormy with our Queen Share.

My rum adventure started as a patron of Four Hounds Distilling and has metamorphosized into a rum-venture. The process of reconstituting sugar cane from raw sugar and molasses and turning it into this spectacular solution that we call rum has captured my curiosity, imagination, and my energies. The social aspect of meeting new people, making friends, and laughing at the tasting room just completes the experience of what makes me proud to be a member of the Four Hounds Distilling team.
My wife and I enjoy spending time with our four-legged family member Cici, and our three children and grandchildren.

My love affair with rum began around 1999 when a good friend brought back Centenario from Costa Rica. I had always gravitated towards sweeter drinks and had been drinking rum and cokes as my go to drink of choice. Centenario was what hooked me into fine spirits for sipping. From there its just grown. Whenever and wherever I travel I seek out liquor stores and local distilleries for some of my favorites I can’t get at home or something new, local or obscure. Whenever possible I surf. I spend as much time on the beach with my family and friends as possible. I love playing music and working on cars. And of course, hanging with our beloved Beagle, Olive.
Olive
I’m Olive, I’m an eight year old Beagle, also known as “Turbo Sausage.”
I was rescued by Chris and his family seven years ago. I had a rough start, I was hit by a car twice so I have a short, crooked tail and a little limp, but that doesn’t stop me from, well anything. That is until I just stare you down until you pick me up and put me on the bed or the couch. I love my humans and snuggle up whenever possible, burrowing under the covers at night. I’m the smallest of the Four Hounds, but I hold my own with the other guys, but try to stay clear of Tucker, he is a little much for me.
