Bend Spirit Club member Jon D. is taking on the daunting task of introducing the group to Rum. According to Jon, “I am going to stick to a somewhat narrow view of rum this time with mostly golden and dark rums. Staying away from light rums (mostly for mixed drinks) and spiced rum due to the diversity of recipes. Showing 3 of 5 total. These 3 are a variety of the mid priced selections. I plan to add a good tasting cheaper rum, and a top shelf brand.”
The line up so far:
