The Sins - set of 6 bottles, Robert Bauer and Distilia

The Sins – Published Chapters Collection (6 Bottles Set) | Distilia × Robert Bauer

This six-bottle set represents the currently released chapters of The Sins - an ambitious, long-term spirits project created by Distilia in collaboration with Rob Bauer (https://www.rob-bauer.com/). Conceived as a multi-chapter series, The Sins is designed to unfold over time, with each release revealing a new facet of excess, restraint, and craftsmanship at the highest level.

At the core of The Sins lies the concept of synergy: the belief that when exceptional spirits from different categories, origins, and traditions are brought together under a unified vision, they form something greater than the sum of their parts. Every bottling in the series is selected as a definitive reference expression of its style - chosen for maturity, provenance, and intrinsic character rather than convention or trend.

This collection gathers the six chapters released to date, spanning Armagnac, rum, Calvados, whisky, Cognac, and rhum agricole. Each bottling is a single cask, strictly limited release. The series remains intentionally unfinished, with one final chapter yet to be revealed.
