Fine Rum Tasting with Rum Loving Friends

     There are very few things more fun that sharing some really tasty rum with friends.  It is really rewarding to share some of the treasures of the rum world with some really good friends.  Monday evening six of us got together to do just that.

     The Rat Key Rum Tasting Association had its weekly meeting and there were some really fine rums there to be enjoyed.  We had two tasty Botran'Rums, Solera and Reserva; Carlton Groom's new expression of Papa's Pilar Dark; Ron Veradera 7 Year from Cuba and a very special Richard Seale 1998 Vintage rum from Barbados.  It is such a pleasure to sit on this little key and watch out over the gulf enjoying the gentle breezes and these really wonderful rums.

     Wonderful people sharing wonderful rums makes for a very wonderful evening.  This is why we put this concept together and why we hop into the boat when ever possible and head out to enjoy so many of the fun rums that I have blessed to put into my collection.  The really great thing about the collection is that it is something that you don't just let sit on the shelf, but rather something that you share with your friends.
