Today’s Master Class is presented to you by Rum Educator Christian Esser.
What's Covered
We will cover the history and production of Rum, including how best to serve and enjoy the different styles and food/cigar pairing options. 12 different Rum’s will be tasted to illustrate and demonstrate the variety of terroirs, styles, tiers, and aging characteristics.
Rum is the original spirit of the world sought after by George Washington, John F. Kennedy, to Ernest Hemingway and remains the most honored and historical evolution of Rum. The Caribbean is the central place for Rum globally, but we will cover other regions beyond. Blessed with a unique climate, fertile soils, and rich culture and history, the Caribbean and surrounding area imbue the spirit made here with their very essence.
Rum remains a spirit of choice amongst fine diners and mixologists and finds a new youthful, appreciative audience within pop culture, proving its versatility and universal appeal.
The styles, versatility, applications, and rich characters of Rum are widely varied, and the timeless production methods, little altered over the centuries, are considered to be one of the most artisanal of all the spirits.
