Weihnachtsrum Tasting

In the organizer's words:

In culinary terms, Christmas is a time for special flavors and creations. For this reason, this tasting is dedicated to spiced and flavored rums. Here you have the opportunity to try rums that you otherwise rarely see in a relaxed atmosphere & with expert guidance.

Procedure:

Together we will taste 6 different types of rum, allowing you to get to know the sweet diversity of rum in all its subtleties. Together we will see how the different brands give their rum its special taste purely by adding or distilling it with other natural ingredients. The experience ranges from sweet cookie dough to dark chocolate. To ensure that the night remains relaxed even after the varied tasting, baguettes from a local bakery are passed around and barrel-aged butter is added. On the one hand, it helps to neutralize the sense of taste and smell of the sometimes intense aromas and thus improve focus. On the other hand, rums with up to 54% alcohol are sampled. To mark the Christmas season, you will also learn about chocolate production and taste different types of chocolate. As a special highlight, you will be able to choose a special organic chocolate from Africa at the end of the tasting.

These questions will be answered:

• When and how was rum discovered?
• What is it made from?
• What distillation processes are there?
• What is the difference between spiced and flavored?
• How are the different flavor nuances created?
