Rum Tasting 101

Ready to dive deep into the rich and flavorful world of rum? Join us at EJ's Wine Shop for Rum Tasting 101, an intimate and educational experience designed to show you so much more about rum than Captain Morgan and Bacardi.

We're opening up the vault to showcase four incredible rums from around the globe, each with its unique story, flavor profile, and cocktail potential. This is not just a tasting but a journey of rum education.

What You'll Experience:

A Global Rum Journey: Taste your way through four distinctive rums, each hailing from a different corner of the world and aged to perfection:

  • Plantation 3 Star White Rum
    A bright and versatile blend from Barbados, Jamaica, and Trinidad, with notes of tropical fruit and a dash of spice. Perfect for those refreshing cocktails we all love.
  • Appleton Estate 8-Year Reserve
    From the heart of Jamaica, this rum brings rich oak, vanilla, and citrus together in a harmonious balance. It's the kind of rum that deserves to be sipped slowly.
  • Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva
    A Venezuelan masterpiece aged for up to 12 years, boasting deep flavors of toffee, dark chocolate, and dried fruit. Luxuriously smooth and perfect for sipping.
  • Ron Zacapa No. 23
    Straight from the highlands of Guatemala, this rum is a blend aged in a unique Solera system, resulting in rich layers of caramel, vanilla, and a touch of spice.

Rum Education: Learn the fascinating history behind each rum, from the legacy of the distilleries to the art of aging and how these elements influence the final product.

Cocktail Creations: Enjoy a sample cocktail crafted with each rum, demonstrating how versatile and exciting rum can be beyond just a mixer.

Food Pairings: Savor light snacks that have been carefully selected to enhance and complement the flavors of each rum.
