  • Up to date and Informative

    I recently discovered rumcast podcast and I have been enjoying it. Living in Toronto, I am at a significant disadvantage when it comes to buying many rums that are widely available in Florida and the US. I attend the Miami Rumfest as well as Rum Renaissance when I can. It’s so refreshing to hear two down to earth guys who know their rums with a nice splash of humor as well. My option may differ with some rums but that’s what makes this podcast even more interesting!

    Thank you so much for doing ... more

  • Great show for rum enthusiasts and newbies

    This show was one of my first sources of information about rum when I started getting interested in cane spirits. The hosts are great, they interview a broad spectrum of many of the most influential people in rum, and I feel like I learn something or find something I want to try with every episode. Recommend!
