10am~ Rumble about it –Sponsored by The Real McCoy Rum Presented by Abbi Miller (Co-Owner The Real McCoy Rum)
Many people think of rum as either light or dark, but what does this tell us about the flavor, aroma, tradition, or history of what is in our glass? In this seminar, we’ll have a real conversation about rum—from understanding raw materials and production methods to learning how to ‘read’ the bottles on the liquor store shelf—so we can give rum the respect that this truly great spirit deserves.
