Today we are joined by Ed Hamilton! Ed is an author, importer and world reknowned authority on the spirit of rum. He's also the founder of the Ministry of Rum and the Hamilton brand of fine rums, made in distilleries all over the Caribbean. Learn about how he went from being a mechanical engineer making actuators for airplanes to becoming one of the world's foremost experts on island spirits, his collaboration with Jeff Berry, the Florida Rum Society and more! This episodes starts with Ed's symposium from this months Orange County USBG Tiki Night at Tiki Farm and from there we transition to a personal one-on-one where Ed gives us a deep dive on rum, his thoughts on the future of rum and what's in store for his Hamilton brand of products in 2022!
