Grenada is known as the 'Spice Isle' due to the production of nutmeg, mace and other spices, and the country's volcanic soil and weather allows for sugarcane to thrive, which forms the base of many rums. Renegade Rum Distillery use this to create terroir driven rums and will discuss how the link to the land and their traditions play a part in shaping their rums.
This webinar is free to attend and open to anyone, no prior spirits knowledge is needed. The new series of bitesize 30-minute webinars are ideal for beginners looking to learn more about rum.
