Heat Things Up “With a Taste of Rum”

For the second year in a row, I have been invited by the guys (and gals) at Vines in Riverbend to be the guest host for their annual Rum Tasting. This year the event is called:

We will begin with a flavoured rum to serve as an aperitif, and then we will dive into a selection of rum which I have  selected to be presented and tasted:

Aperitif :  To Be Announced

Havana Club Selección de Maestros Rum
Plantation XO 20th Anniversary Barbados Rum
Ron Zacapa Centenario (23 Solero)
Dictador 12 Year Solera
El Dorado 12 Year Old Special Reserve Rum
Rum Nation Panama 18 

I think (although I admit I am biased because I selected the rums) that the line-up is solid, and represents a good cross-section of geographical styles of rum production. You can experience the rich flavour and diversity of rums from South America, from Central America, and the Caribbean Islands.

(Note: If we have any problems securing a particular rum, I will make sure that a suitable replacement of equivalent quality will be found.)

So come join me for a great selection of rum. 

(Note: This event is sold out!)
