About this episode
The episode explores rum knowledge through tasting various rums and discusses the closure of Paradise East.
It continues... my quest to better fill the gaps in my "rum knowledge," and I do it exactly how you think I would - by drinking rum. This week I went with four different bottles, including two high-proof rums that will knock your socks off. I kicked the show off, though with a can of Firestone Walker's Oak Aged Oktoberfest, which despite having a little age on it, was fantastic. We talked about the upcoming closure of Paradise East - and how it makes us feel... and then we drank more rum to make ourselves feel better about it all. A typical weekly pint if I do say so myself.
