Tune into to hear Bryan and Constantine talk the large Rum Event they are putting together for 2025.

We’re talking Rum Curious Summit and Fiji Rum & Tiki Fest.

We say the several times throughout the episode, but you have to be some sort of crazy to put on large scale events.

Bryan and Constantine sit down with the one and only Global Rum Ambassador, Ian Burrell. From his early days behind the bar to becoming a world-traveling advocate for rum, Ian shares stories from his spirited journey — including an ambitious attempt to mix cocktails near the Drake Passage. It’s a deep dive into the culture, history, and passion behind one of the world's most beloved spirits.

We sent Constantine into the wilds of Australia (okay, he flew in from Fiji) to settle a debate we’ve had for ages: Is there actually good rum in Australia?
He teamed up with Steve Magarry from Sydney Rum Distillery and went full Rum Indiana Jones—tasting, exploring, and putting boots on the ground (and probably flip-flops). Verdict? Aussie rum is not just good—it’s legit.
Join us for the journey, the rums, and a couple laughs along the way.

Bryan and Constantine talk with Callum from Line44 (New Zealand) and Brett from Lyon Rum (Maryland/Rosalie Bay, Dominica). They discuss their paths into rum production, unique fermentation techniques, distillery mishaps, and what’s next for their brands.

We also discuss our favorite brands, bottles, and the state of rum.

Join Bryan and Constantine for the final podcast of the year as they chat with Eric Winter, the Hollywood talent turned rum enthusiast behind Palm Republic Rum. Inspired by his love for rum, discovered during a life-changing trip to meet his in-laws, Eric created Palm Republic—a pure and unadulterated blend poised to make waves in 2025 and beyond!
