Episode Synopsis

Ian Burrell is the global ambassador for the entire category of rum. London born to Jamaican parents, Ian’s packed more into his life so far than most of us ever will – he made his name as rapper 'The Dude' and as a professional basketballer, before deciding to devote himself to tasting and traversing the category of rum. He was behind the world’s first International Rum Fest in London in 2007 and has since set up events on every continent, even in Antarctica of all places! Ian’s the man to ask about anything to do with rum, so we asked away – about the touchy subject of adding sugar, the markets that excite him most and much, much more. Then, we’re off to Cork in Ireland, where Andy Ferreira from Cask takes us through their intriguing approach to cocktails. They use only locally foraged ingredients to build their menu and some of those elements would never have thought of putting in a drink.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
