The diversification of traditional rum drinks, taking rum out of just Tiki Drinks into classic Bourbon Cocktails, also stressing that every cocktail list needs a Rum Cocktail.
I fell in love with rum five years ago through the passion of the Botran Family. Not only do they produce a great tasting rum selection, they also follow the seven decade old method of making Rums in the “solera method”, using only first press sugar cane, which the family grows on Volcanic Soil. They are family to all of us, from the people in the field to the sales force around the globe. Not only do they produce the highest quality Rum, they also achieve one of the highest EU standards for Environmental Standards.
