The rum flowed aplenty at the Rum Renaissance Festival in Miami, where Puerto Rican rums played a starring role. Rums of Puerto Rico sponsored a charity concert with The Band from TV, featuring celebrities Teri Hatcher and James Denton (Desperate Houswives), James Grunberg (Heroes) and Jesse Spencer (House). All made an appearance at a VIP shindig prior to the concert too, mingling with the crowds. Guests were invited to take part in rum tastings – where professionals from Bacardi and Don Q showed off their stuff – from aged rums sipped neat to the coldest – and smokiest – cocktails. Our podcast features it all. Interviews with the celebrities, and the experts – from the organizer of the Rum Renaissance Festival to a rum historian, who speaks about the legacy of rum in Puerto Rico. |
