Ralfy's Masterclasses - must watch series...

Post by Capn Jimbo »

With the exception of some of the Project's crew, rum suffers from lack of serious attention and tasting...

To date, we've done our best to rectify that, as the Project's goal has always been twofold: first, to recognize truly pure and honest rums (devoid of illegal alteration with sugar and flavors) and second, to promote respect and appreciation of same via learning how to properly taste rum. With this goal, I urge you to spend some time with Ralfy:

These are grouped and presented in order:

Capn's Log: Ralfy has been one of the treasures of spirits and tasting, as well as toward the understanding of distilling, casks and aging, bottling and tasting. Although rum appreciation has evolved in my 15 years here, we have a long way to go.
