Mount Gay Rum Twitter Tasting

#MoreThanARum

When: 19th May 2020
From 7.30 pm BST

For our next Twitter Tasting, we are sticking with Barbados and joining up with Miguel Smith, the Global Brand Ambassador at Mount Gay to explore the highly anticipated new blends of Black Barrel and XO as reformulated by Master Blender Trudiann Branker, and Trudiann's first release: Pot Still Rum release - a Rum that we are absolutely nuts about here at RumShackHQ. Trudiann has made quite an impact in the short time she had held the position of Master Blender and we are looking forward to getting to grips with both these new blends and future new releases such as 1703 Master Select.

Rhum Clement Twitter Tasting

#ClementTT

When: 24th September 2018
From 7.30pm BST

Our latest Twitter Tasting takes on a voyage of discovery into the world of cane juice spirits, specifically Rhum Agricole from Martinique in the form of Rhum Clément. Partnering up with the team at Amathus Drinks, who are the official UK importers and distributors, and the lovely people at Rhum Clément we’ll look to take you on a tasting journey through a selection of tasty aged and unaged rhums. We’ll discuss the differences between rhum and rum, the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée and just why it’s all so damn tasty (and why haven’t we all been drinking more of it for longer?) and how to get the best out of it in a cocktail.
