Although not quite as hidden away as the Hidden Trails Speakeasy at this year’s RumFest, the Floridita Rare Rum Club has gained it’s place on the London Rum scene as much by whispered conversations and as it has by mailshots to the Floridita regulars.

Hosted by Head Bar Manager Richard Woods, each last Thursday of the month Floridita plays host to some very special and rare rums. So far Bacardi Reserva Limitada; El Dorado 25 Year Old; Havana Club Maximo and Plantation Rum Guadeloupe have all made an appearance and this month’s Rare Rum Club, on Thursday 27th October 2011, will be no less exceptional.

The following excert is taken from Floridita’s latest mailshot:

Floridita’s Rare Rum Club aims to be both informative and entertaining; it is a club that is designed to keep its members in the know, with useful inside information in the field. This club is designed for both Hospitality Industry people and Rum enthusiasts who want to expand their knowledge in the field… by sharing opinions, receiving information from experts and revel in all things Rum related.

The next bottle to be opened is 1703 Mount Gay Rum. This 1703 cask selection is a true symbol of the unique, centuries-old excellence of Mount Gay Rum.  Blended entirely from the treasures of Mount Gay’s prized reserve, each aged for 10 to 30 years; it is a masterpiece of perfect sumptuousness, a deliciously complex nectar created by the oldest producer of refund rum in the world.

The cost is £25pp; this will include the tasting, a rum cocktail, entrance to Floridita Live and a Rare Rum Club sharing platter for the group.

Places are limited, so to reserve a place please email Hannah Sakellariou – hannahs@danddlondon.com. Details on Floridita’s Rare Rum Club can also be found on the Floridita Website.
