Trailer Happiness’ world famous Rum Club is playing host to the entire El Dorado range in a unique night of pairing the Guyanese rum with gourmet foods from the region. We kick start the evening with an El Dorado cocktail on arrival followed by fantastic chat, food and drinks! An unmissable rummy experience! More details can be found here.
In the run-up to the UK’s largest rum-tasting exhibition, RumFest, The Whisky Exchange will be hosting a soirée to look into the world of aged rums.
They’re delighted to welcome Stefanie Holt, International Brand Ambassador for El Dorado Rum, to present a range of sipping rums from around the Caribbean.
Although Stefanie works for Demerara Distillers, makers of El Dorado Rum, she is very much a champion of rum as a whole. Basically, if you’re drinking her rum then that’s great, but so long as you’re drinking any quality rum, it’s all good!
Education is the name of the game and to this end, Stefanie will present a range of seven aged rums. Each has its own unique style and is representative of the island or country that it is from.
The line-up for this exotic Caribbean cruise is as follows:
The tasting will take place on Monday 29 September, 7.30pm. Tickets are priced £30 each.
As ever, tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis and are limited to two per customer. Tickets went on sale at 3pm, Wednesday 17 September
