Sometimes it’s tricky finding a new favourite beverage – especially when there are so many to choose from! So why not hold a little rum-tasting event with your friends and loved ones so that you can find the perfect rum for you?

Here are our recommendations for the perfect Rum Tasting event.

Invite your friends over and set up a little tasting station. Make sure to provide small glasses so that everyone can have a good sampling of each rum. Try out a variety of different rums – light, dark, spiced, flavoured, etc. And don’t forget the most important part: mixers! Have some cola, ginger beer, and fruit juices on hand so that your guests can mix their own perfect rum concoction.

Don’t forget to try our very own Murray & Yeatman Rums – we’ve got two available, our Dark Rum and Coffee Rum:

Our Dark Rum (which we call Double Dark Rum) is exactly what it says on the tin! By back-adding our organic Blackstrap molasses twice through the process this rum becomes even richer, darker and full of the wonderful flavours that all rum drinkers love to enjoy. 40%ABV

Our Coffee Rum is inspired by Punch Livorne (a coffee and rum concoction developed by an Innkeeper close to the shipping ports) and provides an extra ‘kick’ for those long, hard days. Made with real coffee to give you the full flavour of a ‘cup of joe’ along with our wonderfully flavoursome English-made rum. 40% ABV

We’ve even made it nice and easy for you to order both in a Rum Taster Set – perfect for your Rum Tasting event!

After everyone has had a chance to try all of the different rums, it’s time to vote! Give each person a piece of paper and have them write down their favourite rum. Then tally up the votes and see which rum was the most popular.

Cheers, and happy rum tasting!
