  • 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

    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!
