The Golden Rum Barrel Awards 2010

zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte des Rums werden auch hier Oskars verliehen, natürlich in diesem Fall "Goldene Rum Fässer". http://www.goldenrumbarrel.co.uk/ Anlässlich des UK Rumfestes gibt es diese Auszeichnung, und Ian Burrell, der Begründer des UK Rumfest, hat damit einen neuen großartigen Schritt gemacht! http://rumfest.co.uk/ Zum einen werden die Rum Botschafter und zum anderen Rum in vielen unterschiedlichen Kategorien ausgezeichnet. Ich freue mich natürlich sehr, dass ich in die Academy of Rum Aficionados gewählt wurde, und der Zeremonie beiwohnen darf!
