It’s finally here, the moment every rum lover waits for in the calendar (along with countless other days e.g. daiquiri, piña colada day etc) Happy National Rum Day!
A time to honour the ancestor and pour some libations with a wonderful rum. A time for enthusiasts or newbies to explore the intricate history, various sugar cane based rums, explore rum from diverse regions, and educate yourself on the amazing craftsmanship that goes into rum production.
The first celebration of National Rum Day occurred in 1999 in the U.S. Virgin Islands, marking an annual appreciation for this beloved spirit. August 15th was chosen to commemorate the anniversary of repealing a high excise tax on rum in the islands.
Enjoy and explore the rich and colourful culture this spirit has brought to the world. And now, let’s enjoy 3 delish cocktails crafted by Global Rum Ambassador Ian Burrell, to celebrate National Rum Day in style. Cheers rum family.
