ALL FOR RUM & RUM FOR ALL....

Like Gin.... Rum is also experiencing a re-surgance, as Craft Distillers are embracing the complexities of the tipple.

Today, rum is competing directly with traditional sipping spirits such as cognac, whiskey and bourbon.

Consumers are taking note and are now actively seeking out rums that are aged and artfully crafted, just as they would with other brown sipping spirits.

There were and remain two types of rum drinkers: the ones looking to mix it and the ones looking to sip it.

The latter category is growing and is behaving in the same way as whiskey drinkers for sure, seeking out more premium rums, experimenting and getting more educated.

Aged rum might never attain the lofty cult status of bourbon, but then again, maybe that’s a good thing. Maybe it allows rum to be what it has always been: a drink of and for the people.
