Today 16th August 2015 is National Rum Day. In quite what nation it is intended to be celebrated I’m not sure. Some people have also called it International Rum Day. The website for this event is also lacking any real information on who is behind this event.
A little more digging and a look on the events Twitter feed indicates that the National Rum Day is a US based event. Still it doesn’t seem anyone is that bothered about who celebrates it! Tweets and photo’s should be tagged #NationalRumDay..

The Danish Speaking world has one of the better Rum websites to boast about. With reviews, articles and its own forum Romhatten is impressive and its design is sleek and modern.
A lot of websites could take a lot of pointers from the site. Unfortunately for English speakers such as myself the site doesn’t automatically translate too well from Danish into English. However, with a bit of persistence it is possible to pick up on the meaning of most of Mads’ pieces especially his reviews.

As you can see Wray and Nephew White Overproof Rum is traditionally drank on Jamaica with Ting. A Jamaican grapefruit soda and plenty of ice. This a potent Overproof mixing rum but nonetheless a very good one. To read the original review please click on the link or photo.
Old Amazon No1. is the brainchild of Olly Simpson who is behind along with two of his friends Rum Fellows Ltd. In 2014, Olly tested his rum infusions on unsuspecting friends at a BBQ. Inspired by their positive reaction he set about Rum Fellows first creation…..
I’m always interested (often sceptical) in new rums and this Rum Infusion sparked my interest immediately. Being a British rum did nothing to sway my enthusiasm.
At a mere 83 seconds logically there shouldn’t be enough content in this video to even merit an article – no matter how small. However, there is so much to talk about in this video to simply comment on the link would not be doing rum any justice whatsoever.
Originally broadcast by the BBC as part of its Middle of the Road Saturday morning Food and Drink programme, this video has been posted on Youtube as part of CaribbeanCookingTV’s channel. At 7 seconds it invited discussion on the best value rum in the world……..
