Debonaire Line of Rums |
Phil Prichard of Prichard's Distillery |
Lunch was Phil Prichard and Prichard's Distillery as the host. Phil talked to us about the problem of Rum Standards of Identity, and how it might be a part of the problem of a slower than expected growth of the category. This was a very interesting presentation and one that has some legitimacy. I will follow this subject in a future blog at some other time.
The final two sessions of the judging were completed today
and the winners will be revealed Friday evening at the RumXP Competition Awards Presentation. The winners of this years competition will be interesting with so many very fine rums presented for evaluation.
The evening events kicked off with the annual party at the Bacardi Headquarters in Coral Gables. The
people from Bacardi made us feel at home in their beautiful building and offered us a wonderful evening as usual. An evening of fine food, rum and easy listening music made for a great experience.
Next it was off to The Regent for a party with Casa Brava, another Francisco "Don Pancho" Fernandez creation. The Cuban atmosphere was perfect for a fine rum that has such a flavor of Havana and the classic Cuban Rums. ;o)
