Over
350 rum fans have collectively broken the Guinness World Record for the largest
rum tasting as part of the eighth annual RumFest held in London yesterday.
Some 353 rum fans collectively
helped set a new record for the World’s Largest Rum Tasting.
Global rum ambassador and RumFest
founder Ian Burrell led a tasting of six rums at London’s ILEC, with figures
from each distillery in attendance to present their product.
“Rum is about history and that’s
what we all achieved today,.” Burrell said. “It was a true honor to be
joined by such esteemed representatives of the category and to enjoy such a
special evening with so many rum lovers.”
Joining Burrell in leading the
tasting were Xavier Herrera from Diplomatico; John Eason from DonQ; Asbel
Morales Lorenzo from Havana Club; George Freegard from Pusser’s; John Georges
from Angostura; and Joy Spence from Appleton Estate.
