Episode #27: The Sugarcane Files: Cane-to-Glass Rum in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Georgia
Manage episode 292588949 series 2785242
In this episode, we share thoughts on some recent rum experiences (including the Appleton Hearts collection) before jumping into a roundtable discussion Will hosted with three rum producers in the U.S. and Puerto Rico that are growing sugarcane for the purpose of making rum (Erik Vonk of Richland Rum in Georgia, Pepe Alvarez of San Juan Distillers in Puerto Rico, and Steve Jefferson of Kuleana Rum Works in Hawaii). Erik, Pepe, and Steve give insight into the unique challenges that come with operating sugarcane farms while running distilleries in regions not historically known for producing the style of rum they’re making (or for producing rum at all, in some cases).
As mentioned on the show, this roundtable discussion was originally broadcast via livestream with Zavvy.co and American Rum Report.
