Join Ed as he guides you on a journey to the distilleries and introduces you to 6 rums you will never taste again.

The bread and butter for every distillery are their branded commercial bottlings. But each distiller prides him or herself on the spirits that they can not produce for the masses. By their very rare nature these spirits are reserved for the distiller?s table. As one of the world?s leading experts on sugar cane spirits and a recognized visitor at almost every distillery in the Caribbean, Edward Hamilton has begged a few favors to collect 6 rums that you?ll never taste again to share with you at Tales of the Cocktail. Most of these rums have never been bottled, much less sold or made available to the public. These are those special rums savored by the distillers to be shared with special guests on special occasions.
