Yesterday I took the time to walk around the Rum Festival and speak with old and new friends. With Master Blender Richard Seale we talked about the effect of ice on rums. For him even spiced rums should be taken neat at room temperature to avoid losing flavours. Something certainly worth considering before putting your rum bottle in a bucket of ice.
With Alexandre Gabriel (the Master Blender of Plantation rums) we briefly talked about a unique rum he made using the Victoria pineapple which is like Vanilla Bourbon come from Reunion island. I am glad to see more distillers making rums using the best ingredients available in the world.
A video about this rum can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYdei9uq6jo
In my next post I will share some of the things I discussed with my friends Robert A. Burr and last but not least Global Rhum Ambassador Ian Burrell.
