TheFloatingRumShack.com is always looking to keep the reader up to date with the latest news and so we would like to share with you the progress Rum Sixty Six is making in the UK.  You might remember that I was pleased to say that Rum Sixty Six was my rum of the show at last year's RumFest - if you don't remember, or are new to the site - you can check out the article by clicking here.

Of course you do!

I've spoken recently about the Newcastle Rum club [click here to be reminded] and a masterclass that will see Rum Ambassador wax lyrical [click here to be reminded], but I've missed the opportunity to say a few words about John Collingwood, who is the fella behind these events.

Originating, never intimidating

“A night to remember with a rum drinking, hard talking, tattooist ex-sailor.  You’ll fit right in”.  That’s the tag line for the Sailor Jerry event that Pauline and I are heading off to this time.  It’s more of a drive this time – all the way across London to a damp and drizzly Islington.  The CAMP (City Arts and Music Project) is the venue for the launch of the new flavour of Sailor Jerry spiced rum.

Thanks to a tip off by a friend of TheFloatingRumShack.com - David Cid of Bacardi in the US, we've been enjoying watching a couple of cool videos on YouTube.  The videos are part of a Bacardi promotion for sure, but I defy anyone to not fancy a drink after watching them...

We've just heard that there is a pretty amazing opportunity to learn more about rum if you're in the Newcastle area on the 4th March.  Ian 'Rum Ambassador' Burrell will be guiding guests through some fantastic rums and knowing Ian as we do, the event will be a lot of fun as well as being extremely informative.
