This year we have been again at the Rum Fest in London, one of the most important Festival for Rum enthusiasts in the world.
We found a smaller Rum Fest , with respect to the 2011 , with smaller stands and with some "big guys" missing : Captain Morgan and Havana Club .
Many people ask us why we go there, since that's most a consumer event . The reason is very easy ...we love Rum, and not only as drink itself, but the culture , the traditions and the personal histories that are hidden in each golden bottle.

Each year we know new people, from the large brand to the smaller ones, which very often are family companies .
The following brand is one of the brand that in these years seems to offer a very elegant taste , perfectly reflected by the choice of the bottle. The name is Rum St.Barth :
Of course together with the small brands, you can find also the big boss of the industry. This is a part of the amazing stand of Bacardi :
Its difficult to think to a Rum distiller that does not have any stand at the Uk Rum Fest , so you can enjoy your Appleton Estate, your Plantation Rum , your Brugal...
We had a stand too at the Rum Fest , and we were happy of chatting with all the guys interested in the technologies behind the rum production .
This is a picture of our stand at the Rum Fest, with our John Whetstone ready to give all the information you need about our copper pot stills, distillation columns or fermentantion units :

My girlfriend Annalisa allows me to have a picture with these nice girls .... that is the power of Rum !
One of the most expected happening of the Rum Fest is the Golden Rum Barrel Awards dinner. The dinner is a real celebration of all the professionals engaged in this amazing industry .
This year we have been proud to be sponsor of the Master Rum Blender Award ,
the following video shows our John Whetstone presenting the nomination and the final winner :
The Master Rum Blender Award went to Alexandre Gabriel from Plantation Rum
A part from Rum , many stands offer food products that in some way are related to Rum, so chocolate (of course) , several kind of cakes , tea and coffe , sugar and even spicy sauces
The Uk Rum Fest is a unique mix of colours, flavours and fun ..... exactly what Rum represents in the spirit industry !
