Tambour Bird
This double-distilled spirit celebrates the complex harmony of hibiscus flower, dates, and spices, enhanced by the subtle woody aroma of oak.
The drum (Tambour), resonating like a heartbeat, is present at most local festivals and ceremonies during which sodabi is enjoyed.

Tambour Sidecar Drum
Drawing its origins from the region of Allada, sodabi has evolved to become a fundamental element of daily life and Vodun rituals in southern Benin and neighboring Togo.
Proud of this heritage, we have created Tambour Original — a redefinition of sodabi that honors the bright future of West Africa while preserving the richness of its roots.
