Windy and blustery, but one of the best tastings yet. So many fabulous rums and so little time. With only seven of us it was a chance to sit and ponder the taste and qualities
of all of the fine rums that were present.
Yesterday we took a little time to raise our glasses to a friend that was lost on November 12th. Patrick Shank, you are really missed around here, and I think you would have
enjoyed sitting with us and enjoying a fine rum.

The cool weather and the warmth of the rum, a really great concept and on that should be repeated throughout the winter.
