Miami Rum Congress pre-parties kicked off with two tastings at the Mai-Kai. Down Island joined the Florida Rum Society for the first Tahitian single barrel release in the U.S., while Planteray’s Alexandre Gabriel treated us to six unique expressions. #miamirumcongress #maikai #floridarumsociety

It was an honor to pick up The Ultimate North America's Rum Bar 2025 Jury Award for the Mai-Kai from organizer Federico Hernandez at Miami Rum Congress ... and to bring it home to beverage director Cory Starr. #miamirumcongress #maikairestaurant #maikai #maikairum #ultimateawards #rumbar #rumfest

Much appreciation to Miami Rum Congress for inviting me and beverage director Cory Starr to talk about the history, legacy, significance and future of the rums of the Mai-Kai during the seminar "Reexamining Golden Era Rums of the Mai Tai, Mai-Kai, and Beyond." #miamirumcongress #maikai #maikairum

The Grand Tasting at Miami Rum Congress did not disappoint. It was great to taste my way through some great Jamaican rums, plus few other key new releases. Congrats to Federico Hernandez and The Rum Lab for another successful festival. #rum #miamirumcongress #rumfest #rumtasting #jamaicanrum
