Bryan and Constantine are starting a new format: The Shortie.

Between our official interviews, we'll break off to discuss what's happening in our world and talk all things rum.

For our first shortie, we chat about what this new format will look like; Constantine is distilling! Updates on Rum & Tiki Fest Fiji. RumX, rum events, and everything else in between!

Bryan and Constantine connect with Oliver Guirke from the Fore Distillery (Ireland) and Brendan Carty from the Killowen Distillery (Northern Ireland) to find out why they are choosing to distill rum and how they’re doing it.

Even more remarkably, it is the first-ever rum blend featuring components from Privateer Rum and Madeira's O Reizinho distillery.
