In Good Spirits
Nestled within Houston’s Greater Heights neighborhood, a simple white building covered in bespoke murals houses Clutch Distilling. Opened in November 2020, the rum-centric business is Texas’ first Black-owned distillery and tasting room.
Clutch is the brainchild of Eric Worrell, a luxury car parts manager and, now, distiller. Drawing on his Barbadian heritage—Barbados is known for its rum—and inspired by his travels to the Caribbean, Worrell offers an innovative cocktail menu using rum distilled on-site. In the short time Clutch has operated, the business has become a popular local spot, received a Denver International Spirits Competition award, and achieved distribution in Spec’s and Total Wine & More.
