The Rum Diary

This page will be dedicated to keeping track of what The Rumelier has been drinking rum wise, in the last week. The most often asked question amongst rum lovers is "what were you drinking last night?" or "what is your favourite rum?". So here is an attempt to answer some of those questions.
It is also an attempt to try to diversify away from the usual favourite rums that The Rumelier regularly drinks and be more adventurous. It is an attempt to learn more about all the different types of rums that are in his collection and they will not just be left on the shelf collecting dust, and never be tasted. This is also a hard lesson learnt from the "Great Rum Disaster of 2006" where he never got to taste many of the rums that got broken and lost forever. Something he is regretting now. When you have a large rum collection, deciding what to drink can be a difficult decision. Sometimes The Rumelier comes up with a theme for the night or just decides to sample a new rum in the collection, or maybe go to an old favourite when the decision is too difficult. Tonights rum will be.............?
