Looking for a remarkable rum tasting experience? You have come to the perfect place. Our tasting classes are designed to broaden your palate, have fun, and gain new experiences.
We offer tasting events for groups or individuals. Whether you prefer a self-directed approach or would like an expert to guide you in the art and science tasting, we have you covered.
You can join us at our licensed tasting room, 180 Drinks, or we can bring you the whole package, straight to your doorstep through our mobile tasting service. We also have virtual rum tasting events for those of you who may not be present in Toronto or Ontario or prefer the convenience of the online world.
Why rum? Rum is a rich spirit with a rich history and richer flavours. From its origins in the Caribbean, rum is now a beloved global drink. During your tasting experience, we will guide you through the history and intricacy of this drink, and teach you to appreciate the different flavours and aromas that rum offers. What we want to achieve through our experience is to demystify rum and empower you with the knowledge and skills to handle this drink with confidence.
We are glad you asked! While you can make use of our handy rum tasting kits, there are things you can do to prepare:
Use a tasting sheet: This will help you record your notes on each of the rums we have sent you. Comparing and contrasting different rum notes is one of the most fun things you can do!
Take breaks: Cleanse your palate with water between tastings. This will help you appreciate the flavours and aromas more intensely.
Enjoy responsibly: Rum is best enjoyed in moderation. Make sure that you balance your drinks and have a designated driver to drive you home after the event or plan to stay at home.
Store in a cool, dry place: Keep the rum bottle away from direct sunlight or heat sources such as radiators. A wardrobe or kitchen cupboard will do just fine.
