Rum Tasting

Today I had a Rum tasting session with my staffmates. It is important to be updated with the trends of the industry so today was like going to a course or a conference. It was from Mont Gay, the officially oldest distillery of Rum based in Barbados. Despite the Gay name it is related to the family name of the founder and not to his sexual orientation. And a proper rum should be drank straight... :D

Anyway it was fun and simple, a little history, some entertaining moments and the actual tasting of the spirit. The last one, a premium expensive version was the 1703 version. The name it's related to the creation of the company.

300 years making rum. Rum is the spirit made from molasses which is related to sugar cane. That is why, cachaca is a type of rum because is made exactly from sugar cane.

Here u have a couple of pictures of what it was a cosy event:
