We've got something totally different for you today — a new series of episodes to determine the ultimate daiquiri rums currently available in the (mostly U.S.) market! We're calling it the Rumcast Daiquiri Bracket, AKA The Daiq Braiq™. 32 rums will compete across 4 different categories of daiquiri rum styles. This episode is all about determining which 32 rums make the cut, and we need your help! During the episode we select our 28 top picks, leaving 1 open slot remaining in each category. Your job after listening is to vote on each category’s final rum. Here's the link to make your voice heard (it includes spoilers of the rums we selected, so be sure to listen first!): Submit Your People's Choice Votes Be sure to listen and send in your picks by Wednesday, May 27! Excited for all your thoughts and hot takes on this one. Cheers!
