Join rum connoisseur Marshall as he explores the world of funky and flavorful rums with master tea server So-Han and Whiskey Provisioner Richard!

Marshall then introduces some rare rums, explaining the complex blends and tasting notes. We learn about the history of rum rationing in the British Royal Navy, esters that create flavor compounds, and how rum production shaped the world through imperialist trade networks. Throughout their rum and tea tasting, So-Han Marshall, and Richard draw out comparisons between the depth of flavors in aged spirits and teas. With curiosity and expertise, they showcase how there is so much more to savor in these global drinks than meets the eye.
